Nunez, 24, is a fans' favourite at Anfield but those who regularly chant his name and bristle at away supporters who sing about him being a certain version of Andy Carroll, must be losing some patience now.

Certainly after another collection of costly misses helped to leave Liverpool’s Premier League title hopes on the brink.

Only Erling Haaland has missed - with 30 - more big chances than the 26 Nunez has squandered in the Premier League.



The problem for the Uruguayan is that the Manchester City striker has 20 goals to his 11 in the domestic competition.

Nunez also failed to find the net when needed in Europe as the Reds crashed out of the Europa League when called upon as a sub as they chased a deficit against Atalanta and in their FA Cup exit to Manchester United.

He has 18 in all competitions but many come in short periods of prolificness and have dried up considerably now at the business end of the season.

Nunez has failed to score against any of the current top six so far this season and his only league goals since early March have come against relegation battlers Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United.

Though the former was a sign that there is some magic in the chaos causer as he scored with almost the last touch in what, at the time, looked like could be a defining goal in the title race.

But the German boss will leave Anfield never having really got the best out of his most expensive signing.

The misses against Everton sparked debate among Jamie Carragher, Wayne Rooney and Daniel Sturridge post match in the Sky studio.
