OPINION: ’s a big problem’ – Jamie Carragher unhappy with one player during Liverpool’s win vs Brentford
Jamie Carragher was critical of one Liverpool player towards the end of the 2-0 win over Brentford at Anfield this afternoon.
Goals from Luis Diaz and Mo Salah secured three more points as Arne Slot continues his 100% start as the Reds’ head coach, with another forward in Darwin Nunez coming off the bench for the final 20 minutes.
He directed a header wide from a Harvey Elliott cross in the 85th minute, and although the subsequent offside flag rendered the passage of play irrelevant, the Sky Sports co-commentator still admonished the Uruguayan.
Carragher said (Sky Sports live web commentary, 18:14): “He’s a long way offside, Nunez. It’s a big problem he’s got to fix. Hopefully Slot and his coaching staff can do it.”
That was Liverpool’s only offside infringement all afternoon at Anfield, which suggests that it isn’t an issue for the team as a whole, although Nunez has some unenviable previous in that regard.
As per FBref, the 25-year-old was flagged for that rule breach 33 times in the Premier League last season, only four fewer than the next two most regular culprits (Diaz and Salah) combined.
The numbers show that our number 9 can lose his concentration when it comes to holding his position and not letting promising chances fade to nothing, and it’s something that Slot will surely want to address with the Uruguayan at the AXA Training Centre.
Fixing those crucial details can only help Nunez and Liverpool in the long run as they seek to trouble Manchester City and Arsenal throughout the 2024/25 campaign.
Mr Carragher you just don’t like Darwin since the very beginning, your comment against this player will never help, you always have to said something negative and you will continue until the day Liverpool sell him , I don’t know who you are but please back off you are not
In fairness the Carragher, Darwin Nunez has been caught offside more than any other Liverpool attacker last season. I personally noticed it as well.
I don’t think Carragher have any I’ll feeling for Nunez, it’s just a sincere criticism.
Darwin Nunez and the coaching crew should work on his concentration on goal bound moves.
