Liverpool supporters saw their weekend ruined on Saturday as they fell to a 3-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest.The result was arguably the worst of Arne Slot’s tenure at the club and has led to serious question marks over his future employment.One of the biggest issues on Saturday was the lack of impact from Alexander Isak as Liverpool‘s No. Isak did not necessarily play badly, but the Swede was barely involved, registering just 15 touches during 68 minutes on the pitch.Given his form for Liverpool so far, some supporters have started to miss the chaotic nature of Darwin Nunez as the team’s central striker.While those feelings may be wide of the mark in reality, Liverpool fans had to watch Nunez clinically score for Al Hilal on Saturday evening to compound a miserable day.Photo by Yasser Bakhsh/Getty ImagesDarwin Nunez scores well-taken Al Hilal goalThose harking for the days of Nunez would do well to remember that the Uruguayan also had matches in a Liverpool shirt where he was barely involved.When he was in the game he was very much in it, but if he was not, Nunez could be just as ineffectual as Isak is currently being.READ MORE: Steve Nicol makes bold Mohamed Salah claim that will split Liverpool fans’ opinionsSince moving to Al Hilal in the summer, the 26-year-old has been in decent form, but that does not mean he would have provided any answers for Liverpool this year.Still, he took his goal very nicely against Al Fateh on Saturday.

Put through brilliantly by Kalidou Koulibaly, Nunez took his time, rounded the goalkeeper and finished perfectly into the far corner.It was the type of chance Liverpool fans regularly saw him fluff during his time with the Reds, but now that he has left, Nunez has suddenly re-found his clinical edge.Nobody should really be wishing for the former No. 9 to return, but it’s hard not to wonder where this kind of composure has been over the past three years.Should Liverpool have kept Nunez?Despite Nunez barely contributing during his final six months as a Liverpool player, there are those within the fanbase who believe he should never have been sold.Certainly, there would be some kind of logic to only selling one of Luis Diaz and Nunez and keeping some kind of continuity to the front line, but that was never going to happen.

Liverpool may still wish they’d signed the Swede instead of Nunez back in 2022.It is nice to see La Pantera scoring goals and doing well for his new club, but his time with the Reds is now in the past.
