Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has suggested to the club’s official website that opposition teams are targeting striker Darwin Nunez.

Klopp has said that Liverpool striker Nunez is an aggressive player and is emotional.

The Liverpool boss was alluding to his sending-off earlier this season.

The German coach has added that opposition teams are targeting the 23-year-old Uruguay international striker.

Jurgen Klopp on Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez

Klopp said about Nunez: “It was not a perfect start; he has a three-game suspension. You cannot get rid of them and now this is still here.

“He’s an aggressive player, he’s emotional, but this should never happen again and these kinds of things.

“In between that there are a lot of things, and then the opponents go for him, but I really like his movements, that’s really good, that’s natural.

“It’s something we didn’t have in that way before and that’s what I like and that’s why I’m sure that everything will be fine.”

Staying positive

In our view, Liverpool fans should stay positive about Darwin Nunez.

He will come good.

Eventually.

Nunez is struggling at the moment, but the youngster is working hard and trying to do his best.

That’s all you can ask of a young striker who moved to the Premier League just a few weeks ago.

Nunez is connecting well with his Liverpool teammates, and the goals will come.

The Liverpool no. 27 has made two starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League for Liverpool so far this season.

Nunez has scored one goal and provided one assist in those games.

The Uruguay international striker has also made one start and two substitute appearances in the UEFA Champions League for the Reds so far this campaign
