Jurgen Klopp sent 'chaotic' Darwin Nunez message as Liverpool transfer verdict delivered

Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha has suggested that some Liverpool fans may be starting to lose patience with Darwin Nunez.

Nunez has become a fan favourite at Anfield since his big-money move from Benfica in the summer of 2022. The striker has scored eight goals with 10 assists in all competitions for the Reds this season.

The 24-year-old has played in all but one Premier League match for Jurgen Klopp's team this season. However, Nunez has scored just once in his last 10 top-flight appearances.

That form has led to Onuoha, who made 188 total Premier League appearances across his career, speculating that some Liverpool fans may be becoming frustrated with Nunez. The former Man City defender appeared on the BBC's Planet Premier League podcast alongside host Mark Chapman, where he spoke about Nunez's form in front of goal.

“You mention Nunez, I wouldn’t want to play against him, but a lot of people don’t expect much from him because he’s not really lighting up the stat sheet whether it be goals and so on," said Onuoha.

"He feels a bit chaotic, but then also has finesse," Onuoha added. "I just wish for his sake that he scored more goals because I feel there are a lot of people starting to lose patience with him from a Liverpool perspective."

Chapman then responded by questioning Onuoha's stance, based on his own experience of the Anfield crowd's feelings towards Nunez. Chapman recalled the recent Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Fulham, where Nunez provided two assists.
