Stick or twist?

The goodwill has largely waned for Nunez from supporters

Ian Doyle: Christian Benteke lasted a season.

Which brings us to the decision Arne Slot may have to make over Darwin Nunez, regardless of whether or not the Uruguayan agitates for a move after his clear show of discontent following a poor cameo against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

In terms of numbers at Liverpool, Nunez has far outstripped those aforementioned forwards with the exception of Collymore, whose tally of 35 goals and 16 assists in his two seasons is almost matched by Nunez's 33 goals and 17 assists.

And, in some respects, there is a comparison to be made between Collymore and Nunez, with both undoubted talents that Liverpool haven't quite managed to fully unlock.

The goodwill has largely waned.

In truth, if Slot decides Nunez isn't a player around whom his attack can occasionally be built, Liverpool have to cash in immediately while they can still garner a good price for the 24-year-old.

Otherwise, the debate over Nunez must stop - and the Uruguayan simply be accepted as one of many forwards on which the new manager can call upon next season.

Hard to see how Nunez becomes the player he was billed to be

Tom Cavilla: It is becoming increasingly difficult to defend Darwin Nunez, who continues to split opinion for good reason.

The 24-year-old has been struggling in front of goal for several weeks now, his most damaging miss arriving in last month's Merseyside derby defeat at Goodison Park.

Unlike the Uruguayan in this part of the pitch Liverpool supporters used to worship, Nunez has all the madness of Luis Suarez with none of the conviction.

Supporters believed the current campaign would be the year the former Benfica star showed the division just why he was brought to Merseyside.

Erling Haaland, rather surprisingly, has missed more big chances than Nunez this season, but the Manchester City star still finds a way to get on the scoresheet each week.
