Arne Slot has provided an update on Darwin Nunez’s future at Liverpool, addressing concerns about the striker’s form. When asked if Nunez was struggling with self-confidence, Slot responded, “It’s not my perception that he’s struggling with self-confidence.” He pointed out Nunez’s involvement in key moments, such as setting up goals against Accrington Stanley and Fulham and scoring against Southampton, but acknowledged that he hasn’t started many games recently.
Slot emphasized that this is normal for a striker, as goal-scoring can fluctuate, and stated that Liverpool’s overall goal-scoring ability remains strong.
He also defended Nunez, noting that despite criticisms from figures like Robbie Fowler and Jamie Carragher, the team continues to support him.
Slot’s comments highlight that Nunez still has the backing of the squad, and now it’s up to the Uruguayan to prove himself with a strong performance against Brentford this weekend.
