Jurgen Klopp rates Darwin Nunez’s performance in Liverpool’s draw vs Fulham

Jurgen Klopp has praised Darwin Nunez’s performance following Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Fulham on Saturday.

Liverpool went behind on two occasions at Craven Cottage following goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic but Nunez and Mohamed Salah ensured that Klopp’s side escaped with a point.

Nunez, an £85 million summer signing from Benfica, started his first Premier League game on the bench but was brought on in the 51st minute to help Liverpool’s lacklustre attack.

And the Uruguay international delivered a bright performance in Liverpool’s attack and could’ve come away with more than one goal to his name.

‘In a situation like that when we don’t really find a way in front of the goal, you need this extra determination, and the difference as well, it makes it difficult for the opponent, obviously,’ Klopp said of Nunez.

‘A great goal, could have scored another one as well, maybe two, crazy. So, he is involved in a lot of goalscoring situations, that’s really cool and that’s where we have to bring him up.

‘Now imagine we would play good, how often we could set him up then? Because that was obviously our main problem, that our delivery was most of the time not good enough, and that was alright, we had massive chances, it’s crazy.

‘If I would watch it back, if you watch highlights, you could misunderstand this game completely because we had a few really good situations, but between these situations we just didn’t play well.’
