Nieve is the only hit in this episode. Love how she defended Nunez right till the end 😍 Doesn't matter if Nunez is a hit or miss individually, the team work makes the dream works
Núñez has 5 goals and 6 assists in 19 games in the league with a big chunk of those coming off the bench or coming off after 60 mins. A goal or assist almost every 90 mins. People can make narratives all they want but the man is effective
@adamg.5482 Saka and Foden play different positions and cost there clubs £0 and Alvarez stats are miles better and he cost £65m less 😂 Awful awful take.
He misses too much chances. And he not the young is 24 years old. Last year, he compared himself to Luis Suárez 😂, he is a good player but not clinical striker Liverpool fans thought he was
Does no one realize that he's like drawing players out of position for Salah and company to run into. On top of his energy and pressing he is a straight physical menace on the pitch.
Nunez is definitely a hit. His g+a per 90 is really really good. He gets subbed on or off a lot and that makes his stats look worse when you look at appearances. Anyone who watches the games knows what nunez brings to the team. Right now we're top of the league and we wouldn't be without him
Also people keep talking about him being a 9 and not scoring more goals but we have so many players scoring goals. Look at city, haaland broke the prem record last season yet city scored less goals last season than they did before.
I've been defending this guy from day one he joined our team with Liverpool's weakest midfield under Klopp other than when he first took over Liverpool. People don't realize what he's doing on the pitch as far as drawing players out of position pressing and creating lots of opportunities for other players to run into
Think it's a bit harsh to call Nunez a miss. He has 18g/a in all competitions this season, Liverpool's highest assister this season. Can tell Nieve actually watches Liverpool games whereas the guy calling him a miss cites his arguments down to "miss compilations"
I think his finishing needs work, but that will come with time and experience imo. But his all round game is good, definitely not a “miss” and I think people will eat their words about him
I think Nunez has been a hit and i think Nieve hits the nail on the head. It would be an issue if Darwin wasn't in the positions he gets in, but he does and once he starts putting it into the back of the net he will be a 20+ goals a season player.
Facts are he isn't far off. 8 goals 10 assists at the half way point is actually reasonable numbers. He misses chances yes, but he gets himself in better positions than most
It’s not even the goals he’s scored or assisted directly - the amount of goals we’ve scored as a result of the things he’s done are countless. He makes things happen without even being directly involved in the goals
Nieve smashing it out of the park as usual. Her call on Numez was spot on as it was backed up deeper insight into what he actually brings to Liverpool rather than just looking at superficial goals scored and the price tag. 👌👊👍⚽
@@mca1881 Isak still has played more PL minutes than Nunez though. Isak is there to finish and he´s superb at it. But he barely creates any big chances for his teammates (1) while Nunez has 7 big chances created while also having 6 assists (most in the league for a striker). People should shift away from just saying Nunez is bad cause he can´t finish and look at the amount of chances he creates for others and himself while drawing a lot of attention away from for example Salah. Like Salah is absolutely loving playing with Nunez with the amount of times they assist/find each other. Nunez runs unlocked a different, really underrated aspect of Salah with his playmaking (Firmino didn´t really offer this as he dropped deeper).
Firmino was a false 9, Darwin looks like being a fake 9... and I mean that as a compliment. Salah and Darwin are a perfect match for each other. Salah's a 9 who plays on the wing, Darwin's a 9 who does his best work from wide areas. A pure number 9 wouldn't work with Salah in the side. The arsenal and man utd fanboys slating Darwin on here are utterly clueless.
it’s easy to say nunez is a flop looking at his appearances and goals alone but if u look at his minutes played and his g/a numbers it’s actually good. He has a goal or assist every 120 mins in the league since he’s joined and if u take away last season i think he’s on a goal or assist every 95 mins this season which basically states he gets a goal or assist every full game he plays it’s just we have a lot of top forwards. Jota also has an incredible goal rate so it’s not fair to keep him on the bench and let nunez play every minute, often he’ll start one and bring the other on with 20/30 mins to go. Also although his numbers are good you’d expect him to kick on at some point, he has one of the highest xg in the league and one of the most missed chances so it’s not like he can get worse than what he is now he can only get better, so with the bottom line set high i expect he’ll be atleast a 15-20 goal a season striker in a year or 2 and that’s fine. It’s like when u sign a 20 year old, if they’re bad for years but they give u 5 top years aged 26-31 then it’s worth it, nunez still has a lot of time to show his worth and he’s doing good now aswell it’s just his ceiling is so high
Nunez has been a flop considering his price tag and the fact this is his second season in the Premier League. The g/a per 90 numbers are skewed by the fact he often comes off bench in dying minutes to cause chaos and come away with an assist or two, or in case of Newcastle away a goal or two. Whenever he starts, it’s a humbling display of a central striker, by all accounts.
I don't think he will be the striker Liverpool will be winning title off his back. Big games you only get one or two chances, I wouldn't bet my left toe Darwin would score them. Salah on the other hand..... That's the difference.
Bro he is on 8 and 10 at the halfway point. Let's say he doubles it and gets 16 goals and 20 assists. For a flop. What joke. He's on double the goal involvements of martinelli, and 6-7 more than Gabriel Jesus. The old he was brought in to combat haaland was never spoken by anyone associated with lfc. Only media pundits that wanted to something to talk about.
Pogba was Man Utd’s record signing?? And they lost him for nothing? Damn…they don’t seem to do well with any of their really big signings, him, Anthony & Sancho all meh
Imagine having Nunez as a miss and saying he only looks good because of Salah, but having Grealish as a hit when Nunez has more goals, more assists (despite Grealish playing with the worlds best number 9) and Nunez has played less minutes. You honestly couldn't make it up.
@@bennalexanderleyland9088 it's really not. First season and a half Grealish was woeful, but he has a good second half of last season and suddenly he's amazing again. Let's be honest if he wasn't English he wouldn't be classed as a hit.
@@hazagiigazahNunez is 100% a hit. And I think he will kick on eventually and be a really really good player, he’s got that kinda. Buzz about him. Rapid, passionate,energetic. Just lacks composure Grealish has also been pretty good, I’d say for around 6/8 months he was pretty bad , but especially since the tail end of last season he’s been a solid 7/10 Minimum every game and more importantly has been doing his job for city perfectly, deffo not a miss either
If Jack Grealish wasn’t with man city…..they will still win a treble….he’s a miss for me comparing the money they bought him for me and u dare call Nunez a miss. This is pathetic 🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻
How can you ever call Nunez a miss? Hes loved by his own fans, hes got 10+ goals and 10+ assists this season, first to do it and hes playing far better than the apparent starboy Saka
Nieve is so clued up when it comes to ball knowledge, cracking guest to have on. Breath of fresh air compared to someone like Danny Aarons who’s ball knowledge comes exclusively from fifa
@@tanveergobin5769 nunez has 7 goals in the prem with 17 games left. Solanke,bowen,hwang,isak,palmer,Watkins,Chris Wood all have more then him. When he cost 20 more million then the most expensive there (isak)
@@itshurtt395 Solanke is having his best season ever, Bowen is one of the best player in the league and Isak while scoring more goals is still not winning games. If you remove Nunez out of Liverpool, they are no way in shape or form at the top of the league currently. His work rate is massi ve and he has won us games by himself like again Newcastle.
Am i the only one sick of hearing the Nunez Vs Haaland argument. Nunez was never brought in to be the Haaland antagonist he was brought in to be a fast paced player which is what we needed. It was the the fans who were pushing the Haaland Vs Nunez argument.
As a City fan, I agree. I don't think the flack Nunez gets a lot of the time is warranted, he is always impressive to me when I watch Liverpool. He has some really bad moments but I think he is always productive in some way, just because he's not bagging goals every game and he has some really bad missed chances, people seem to think he's bad.
Nunez is a hit for me, he brings so much threat and unpredictability to Liverpool's attacking play, running defenses ragged and his pressing is excellent. I think he will prove his value in the 2nd half of this season and, barring injury, next season.
I don't have any issue with anyone saying Darwin should be scoring more, thats clear to see and Darwin knows that himself. What I don't understand is how Arsenal fans of all people are the ones speaking on his finishing with the fullest of chest when someone like Jota could go to Arsenal and be their top scorer by a mile. Their entire attack is made up of very good players with squirrely finishing, you'd think they'd be more understanding.
Nieve is spot on. Caicedo is finding his footing. He’s been in consideration for man of the match in several of our games this season, specifically in the past month. He’s had more highlight moments than Enzo this season and I’m confident they’ll make a solid midfield for years to come. COYB!!
How is he going to bring up Rice's performance against Liverpool like it wasn't bang average? The depths people are going to try justify the price tag is already way out hand.
It’s because they are not saying Trafford is bad… I think he’s great and I think they do too… they are just thinking maybe for that money they could have bought more experienced players in different positions rather than a talent with little experience
@@Alex-bp9eg It's easier to look better when you face 1000 more shots. He's definitely overrated, as they said in the video they could have spent that money else where for a goal scorer or midfielder and got an experienced goalkeeper who won't make mistakes and help the defence
It's funny that only Liverpool fans and pundits know how good Nunez is (without the goals). Watch him score or assist today, he's been playing on the right recently
This didnt age well on Nunez because he has now scored in almost every game since this video and Diaz Nunez and Gakpo are all playing and still top of the league loool
The bloke on here just regurgitates whatever bandwagon the kids on Twitter are riding on at the minute, clear he doesn’t watch any teams other than his own
As a palace fan, the whole thing with Matheus is so depressing. Hes rarely played, has one start this whole season (out of position at LW against everton), and thats just down to poor subs on Roys part in games. He rarely brings him on before the 70-80 min range and the same can be said for David Ozoh rn for us too. We signed matheus to replace zaha, yet we refuse to play him, and the few times he has played, he has played decently. Obviously hes not gonna be carrying us the same way Olise/Eze do currently, but he has shown he has the talent to do it in a top league but rn he just very raw and has to play more to adapt to this league better and improve.
I think it’s crazy how you can say Grealish is a hit while Nunez is a miss. From a purely “statistical” point of view, like the guy mentioned… Grealish should be a miss. Darwin has a better g/a and cost less too
It's the double standards because city won the treble. I don't think they needed Grealish to win the treble and while he is a good player, he doesn't add that much to their team- hence why they got doku and already look way more scary with him starting over Grealish. Nunez has completely transformed our attack and defenders hate playing against him. Yes, we'd love for him to start scoring more but we know his quality and what he brings to the team and that's enough for now. His scoring will improve the more he plays and the more the team gets used to him and he gains more composure and confidence. Absolutely love the guy
@@TheSouthAfricanKopite Zero ball knowledge If anyone said Grealish offer nothing for City in the treble I don't trust their ball knowledge, He literally City best winger last season, Pep never benched him even tho City rotated a lot, He's always the first name on City starting eleven As much as I agree Nunez is a hit, But when u brought up Grealish, nahh...
@@boboiboyvsejenali8329 I never said he didn't add anything to their treble, I said that they didn't NEED him to win the treble. Big difference. The proof is in the pudding. The manager bought another winger straight away that's honestly a lot scarier to play against for right backs than Grealish and don't take my word for it, pundits and players even say it. Doku starts over him when fit and don't tell me that he was bought to be a back up because that's clearly not the case as you don't spend 50+ plus mill on a back up winger and he has been started over Grealish more often than not when fit. As I said, Grealish is a good player, but to be costing 100 mill and then basically being replaced by a better winger after 2 seasons is a miss for me at that price. If he costed 50 mill he'd be a hit
How is Nunez a flop he is a relentless play making machine and when old made said “if you hit the cross bar 6 times in a row, that’s not unlucky that’s just not scoring enough goals” and I’m thinking isn’t that the definition of unlucky, you legit couldn’t do that if you try’d
Nieve is the smartest and most articulate pundit/guest you guys have on - more more more! James from AFTV would be good too - high intellect episodes. Love the show as always, great content!
Nunez underrated. He has 10 goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season and it's only january. Furthermore he has more Premier League goals than any player at Arsenal this season and as many assists as Arsenal's top assister.
12:28 he just highlighted exactly why Nunez probably will never be considered a hit by anyone other than Liverpool fans. Because people still believe he was brought in as a counteract to Haaland. He wasn't. He will never win that comparison, because he plays an entirely different role than Haaland. Nunez was brought in to eventually replace Firmino. The timing of it had nothing to do with Haaland, but because Man Utd were making a move for Nunez as well. And while Firmino didn't score as many goals as Mane and Salah, he was an integral part of that offense. Nunez has been the same. There is a reason why Anfield shouts his name every game, despite all the chances he has missed
Nunez has 20 GA this season... A GA every 88 minutes he plays... Isak has 14 GA this season... A GA every 114 minutes he plays. The football illiteracy on show here is palpable!!
I will make this statement, Nunez is a better footballer than Haaland, his creativity is showing with assists and his goals are on the way, I preferred Isak but now nothing is changing my mind now Nunez all the way. Salah’s goals are coming from Nunez
Daniyal: "Nunez doesn't score" Also Daniyal: "How many goals has Nunez scored in a season and a half, I don't know" 25 Goals, 15 Assists in 1.5 years - and of course Grealish with his 11 PL goals in like 2-3 years in the best team ever is a hit, he gets credit for getting Carvajal booked (so???), meanwhile for Nunez it never counts because he apparently "doesn't score"
Nunez isn't a miss and he's also not Liverpools record signing.. and if ye think Rice is was hit I can't help ye. Arsenal are worse West Ham are better .. enough said
I don't get how you can call Grealish a hit but Nunez a miss. Both struggled their first season, both could do with more goal involvements, and both are making their team better when on the pitch.
I hate grealish and always have because of how boring his game is but cmon he’s one of the best wingers in the league when he’s fit and was crucial to treble winning city last year
Nunez is not Liverpool's record signing he was 64 plus add ons and we don't know if any of the add ons was hit yet van dijk is our record signing 75 mill the Allison 72 mill
You're right about the add ons. But apparently some of those have been hit with him reaching 10 & 60 apps. That means the current fee is around 76 million, so just eclipsing the van dijk price tag. Alisson was 65 I think as well
@@JaiAnt-ui7ip He actually have a good goal contribution to minutes ratio. I get he miss to many big chances, but when he contribute with a lot of other things that means he is doing very fine.
@@JaiAnt-ui7ipwell the no salah argument is crap. In 3 games against arsenal fulham and bounemouth liverpool have scored 8. Nunez started 2 of the 3 games and contributed 4. It is also proper crap because if you took Haaland out city would find it hard and have found it hard. You might say thats because kdb is out too but our creative outlet trent is out too.
@@JaiAnt-ui7ip because he contributes to the team in more ways than goals. Its simple as that. Can his shooting improve? Definitely. But he’s in the right spaces which takes skill. Most important have we seen improvement from last year. Definitely. I was tending to the fact that the without salah bull crap from the arsenal fan is pea brain logic. He was like diaz nunez elliot doesnt score enough or something ignoring jota who would walk into the arsenal front line.
Nieve is brilliant she is one of maybe 5 guests who doesn’t base their opinion off what people say on Football Twitter! This guy made some OK points but mentioning things like miss compilations is where he lost me. Also comparing Antony to Pepe is harsh on Pepe.
Ben mee is 34, Ethan pinnock is 30, Nate Collins is only 22 and PL proven. Nate Collins adds youth. If he's there in 5 years time and doesn't drop off he'll retain his value. It's a hit. As always Nieve is excellent
Nieve knows the ⚽ Darwin Nunez is the first Premier League player this season to reach 10+ goals and assists in all competitions.... And he cost £65 mil not £85, till now
Nunez doesnt need to be the main man, all he has to do is keep feeding salah. I think now salah is away nunez will be a different player, tip of the spear
I just knew when Caicedo when coming they were all going to hate on him 😂 he is fantastic for us! Cleans up well and considering he had an awful start to the season he has massively improved. Our defence is the only thing that lets Chelsea down.
@@marko9463 the DM’s job isn’t to defend. There is a back 4 for a reason. Poch needs to learn playing players out of position is what will concede goals. This season he’s placed Disasi RB, Gusto LB, Maatsen was on the bench and had Colwill LB when Cucu and Chilwell were both injured. It’s ridiculous
@@Daks23 It is tho, every sucessful team needs a dm to shield the defense. Busquets Casemero Rodri Fabinho. There is a reason liverpool dropped off when fab dropped off. Its part of the dms job
Obvious these men dont watch rival games. This guy saying enzo shining and caicedo drowning… as a chelsea fan, enzo has not been shining, in fact hes been underperforming. Caicedo has been consistent, and has imprving every game.
Caicedo’s been clear of Enzo overall this season. Maybe not in the first few games when he was settling in but now he’s managing the midfield brilliantly right now. And they both had very similar price tags so if Enzo is considered a hit while he’s also had more time, then Caicedo is definitely a hit.
i feel like it’s harsh to say without salahs goals liverpool would be nowhere cus it’s not like the other 4 forwards have played every game, they wouldn’t score as many in his absence but it wouldn’t be drastically less. Salah has played every minute in the league more or less, then the other 4 have played about half the minutes of the season so far so if we double their numbers as we double their game time it’s not bad at all. I think jota and gakpo have 5 goals so that’s 10 doubled, nunez has 5 goals 6 assists which is 22 g/a doubled then diaz has been underperforming scarily but with more consistent game time he could thrive. It’s easy to say “he’s only got 5 goals this season” but if he’s only played half the minutes it’s actually not bad cus if he did play every minute the maths would say 10 goals which is good at the halfway point and only 4 fewer than salah
@@dollytf2 People always point past to stats when talking about enzo. Sure, 100m on "progressive passes" while you can't defend, score or create chances for your team 👍. People also complained he's wasted playing as a 6 but now he's moved a bit, he's not in the right position 😂"we need to unlock Enzo 🤪". Stats are just stats, not the real picture
@@user-bx2kd7jt8t he also passes the eye test and looks unpressable, never gets dispossesed and switches the play with elite long balls. just cus he's not galladog running around ppl hate h him
Man this guys arguments, why the brentford signing is not good!?!!? They have had better signings, lol that makes sense. To be fair 105m for Declan Rice, you could have got a better deal for other players, so he is not a hit either by this logic.
Am a die hard Liverpool fan but am not defending Nunez anymore because for me he's between HIT and MISS. I can say this tho his work rate this season is very good and we won't be on top with him..
Thanks for having me on again. Will come back to this when Darwin Nunez is holding the Premier League trophy 😂

Also although his numbers are good you’d expect him to kick on at some point, he has one of the highest xg in the league and one of the most missed chances so it’s not like he can get worse than what he is now he can only get better, so with the bottom line set high i expect he’ll be atleast a 15-20 goal a season striker in a year or 2 and that’s fine. It’s like when u sign a 20 year old, if they’re bad for years but they give u 5 top years aged 26-31 then it’s worth it, nunez still has a lot of time to show his worth and he’s doing good now aswell it’s just his ceiling is so high
Nunez has been a flop considering his price tag and the fact this is his second season in the Premier League. The g/a per 90 numbers are skewed by the fact he often comes off bench in dying minutes to cause chaos and come away with an assist or two, or in case of Newcastle away a goal or two.
Whenever he starts, it’s a humbling display of a central striker, by all accounts.
Realistically tho he is a flop as of now he has some good games but he’s so inconsistent
I don't think he will be the striker Liverpool will be winning title off his back. Big games you only get one or two chances, I wouldn't bet my left toe Darwin would score them. Salah on the other hand..... That's the difference.
Bro he is on 8 and 10 at the halfway point. Let's say he doubles it and gets 16 goals and 20 assists. For a flop. What joke.
He's on double the goal involvements of martinelli, and 6-7 more than Gabriel Jesus.
The old he was brought in to combat haaland was never spoken by anyone associated with lfc. Only media pundits that wanted to something to talk about.
@@M4NA5 what is your logic behind saying “his g/a per 90 is skewed by coming off the bench”.
Are you simply not counting those g/a? Why not?

Imagine having Nunez as a miss and saying he only looks good because of Salah, but having Grealish as a hit when Nunez has more goals, more assists (despite Grealish playing with the worlds best number 9) and Nunez has played less minutes. You honestly couldn't make it up.
ikr . it's honestly so baffling
Nunez isn't a miss, but Grealish has been fantastic for City. Such a weird comparison to make.
@@bennalexanderleyland9088 it's really not. First season and a half Grealish was woeful, but he has a good second half of last season and suddenly he's amazing again. Let's be honest if he wasn't English he wouldn't be classed as a hit.
@@hazagiigazahNunez is 100% a hit. And I think he will kick on eventually and be a really really good player, he’s got that kinda. Buzz about him. Rapid, passionate,energetic. Just lacks composure
Grealish has also been pretty good, I’d say for around 6/8 months he was pretty bad , but especially since the tail end of last season he’s been a solid 7/10 Minimum every game and more importantly has been doing his job for city perfectly, deffo not a miss either
Nunez is a striker and Grealish is not a traditional winger. Nunez is a big miss
Who is this guy? He constantly interrupts the other guest, yet has nothing to say 😂
Foden 9 goals and 7 assists: best player in the league
Nunez 9 goals and 7 assists: flop

What more could he have done? He has done more than he was expected.
How can you ever call Nunez a miss? Hes loved by his own fans, hes got 10+ goals and 10+ assists this season, first to do it and hes playing far better than the apparent starboy Saka
Nieve is so clued up when it comes to ball knowledge, cracking guest to have on. Breath of fresh air compared to someone like Danny Aarons who’s ball knowledge comes exclusively from fifa

Can we get Nieve on for one of the starting XI videos, as well? I'd love to see her more often.
Am i the only one sick of hearing the Nunez Vs Haaland argument. Nunez was never brought in to be the Haaland antagonist he was brought in to be a fast paced player which is what we needed. It was the the fans who were pushing the Haaland Vs Nunez argument.
As a City fan, I agree. I don't think the flack Nunez gets a lot of the time is warranted, he is always impressive to me when I watch Liverpool. He has some really bad moments but I think he is always productive in some way, just because he's not bagging goals every game and he has some really bad missed chances, people seem to think he's bad.
Was primarily the media running with that narrative.
Grealish a hit and Nunez a flop…. english bias at it again, Nunez has been fantastic this season
Nunez is a hit for me, he brings so much threat and unpredictability to Liverpool's attacking play, running defenses ragged and his pressing is excellent. I think he will prove his value in the 2nd half of this season and, barring injury, next season.
Nieve is very good & have good argument to support her statement 👍👍👍
Shoutout to the women on this show, she’s one of the most knowledgeable fans I’ve seen on appear on this segment
I'm a Liverpool fan. I like Isak a lot, and his numbers are great this season, but I wouldn't do a swap with Nunez.
I don't have any issue with anyone saying Darwin should be scoring more, thats clear to see and Darwin knows that himself. What I don't understand is how Arsenal fans of all people are the ones speaking on his finishing with the fullest of chest when someone like Jota could go to Arsenal and be their top scorer by a mile. Their entire attack is made up of very good players with squirrely finishing, you'd think they'd be more understanding.
Facts Liverpool are in a position where we can have a player mis firing and still be top of the league
8:49 “this is just what midfielders cost”😂😂😂 Liverpool got Macca and Szobo for well under what Chelsea paid for caicedo
Nieve is spot on. Caicedo is finding his footing. He’s been in consideration for man of the match in several of our games this season, specifically in the past month. He’s had more highlight moments than Enzo this season and I’m confident they’ll make a solid midfield for years to come. COYB!!
For 115 mil that’s just not good enough bellingham cost less and is twice the player
@@EAT1999it was Liverpool bid of 110 that made Chelsea pay 115, Caicedo has been good, it’s just a media bias
@@valeriuguzan9486 and? Chelsea should have left the deal at that point 115 mil is just way too much
How is he going to bring up Rice's performance against Liverpool like it wasn't bang average? The depths people are going to try justify the price tag is already way out hand.
Because he’s English
Calling it bang average just shows the mental state of football fans nowadays, plagued by playing Fifa and FPL and only concerned with goals/assists.
He was not bang average, you clearly didn’t watch the game
@@M4NA5 maybe I'm being a little harsh, but he's not looked like a 100m player. Arsenal looked better with Xhaka or Partey playing instead last season

How is Trafford a miss? He's been immense for Burnley
It’s because they are not saying Trafford is bad… I think he’s great and I think they do too… they are just thinking maybe for that money they could have bought more experienced players in different positions rather than a talent with little experience
He's also made some bad errors and Burnley need someone stronger
@@Pricelessmile he’s saved them more than he’s let them down… at the start of the season he looked unbelievable but he slowed down a bit then
@@Alex-bp9eg It's easier to look better when you face 1000 more shots. He's definitely overrated, as they said in the video they could have spent that money else where for a goal scorer or midfielder and got an experienced goalkeeper who won't make mistakes and help the defence
@@Pricelessmile Look at his error against Luton, I hope he succeeds but he needs to sharpen up a little bit if he is to be a top English goalkeeper.
It's funny that only Liverpool fans and pundits know how good Nunez is (without the goals). Watch him score or assist today, he's been playing on the right recently
2 goals and absolute work horse. Not bad 👌
This didnt age well on Nunez because he has now scored in almost every game since this video and Diaz Nunez and Gakpo are all playing and still top of the league loool
Wonder when this was recorded, liverpool have done brilliantly without salah during afcon
Nieve is one the most informative guest in Saturday social along with StatMan Dave and JLA.
The bloke on here just regurgitates whatever bandwagon the kids on Twitter are riding on at the minute, clear he doesn’t watch any teams other than his own
As a palace fan, the whole thing with Matheus is so depressing. Hes rarely played, has one start this whole season (out of position at LW against everton), and thats just down to poor subs on Roys part in games. He rarely brings him on before the 70-80 min range and the same can be said for David Ozoh rn for us too. We signed matheus to replace zaha, yet we refuse to play him, and the few times he has played, he has played decently. Obviously hes not gonna be carrying us the same way Olise/Eze do currently, but he has shown he has the talent to do it in a top league but rn he just very raw and has to play more to adapt to this league better and improve.
I think it’s crazy how you can say Grealish is a hit while Nunez is a miss. From a purely “statistical” point of view, like the guy mentioned… Grealish should be a miss. Darwin has a better g/a and cost less too
It's the double standards because city won the treble. I don't think they needed Grealish to win the treble and while he is a good player, he doesn't add that much to their team- hence why they got doku and already look way more scary with him starting over Grealish. Nunez has completely transformed our attack and defenders hate playing against him. Yes, we'd love for him to start scoring more but we know his quality and what he brings to the team and that's enough for now. His scoring will improve the more he plays and the more the team gets used to him and he gains more composure and confidence. Absolutely love the guy
@@TheSouthAfricanKopite Zero ball knowledge
If anyone said Grealish offer nothing for City in the treble I don't trust their ball knowledge, He literally City best winger last season, Pep never benched him even tho City rotated a lot, He's always the first name on City starting eleven
As much as I agree Nunez is a hit, But when u brought up Grealish, nahh...
@@TheSouthAfricanKopitethey got doku because they lost Mahrez
@@boboiboyvsejenali8329 I never said he didn't add anything to their treble, I said that they didn't NEED him to win the treble. Big difference. The proof is in the pudding. The manager bought another winger straight away that's honestly a lot scarier to play against for right backs than Grealish and don't take my word for it, pundits and players even say it. Doku starts over him when fit and don't tell me that he was bought to be a back up because that's clearly not the case as you don't spend 50+ plus mill on a back up winger and he has been started over Grealish more often than not when fit. As I said, Grealish is a good player, but to be costing 100 mill and then basically being replaced by a better winger after 2 seasons is a miss for me at that price. If he costed 50 mill he'd be a hit
@@boboiboyvsejenali8329spot on lad
How is Nunez a flop he is a relentless play making machine and when old made said “if you hit the cross bar 6 times in a row, that’s not unlucky that’s just not scoring enough goals” and I’m thinking isn’t that the definition of unlucky, you legit couldn’t do that if you try’d
Nieve is the smartest and most articulate pundit/guest you guys have on - more more more! James from AFTV would be good too - high intellect episodes. Love the show as always, great content!
I'm with the girl. Darwin is a hit
Just dropping in to say hi after Nunez' brace against Bournemouth away 👀👀👀
Well would you look at that, Nunez scoring twice without Salah. 20 goal contributions too. I’d maybe not invite this guy back, woof…
Nunez underrated. He has 10 goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season and it's only january. Furthermore he has more Premier League goals than any player at Arsenal this season and as many assists as Arsenal's top assister.
12:28 he just highlighted exactly why Nunez probably will never be considered a hit by anyone other than Liverpool fans. Because people still believe he was brought in as a counteract to Haaland. He wasn't. He will never win that comparison, because he plays an entirely different role than Haaland. Nunez was brought in to eventually replace Firmino. The timing of it had nothing to do with Haaland, but because Man Utd were making a move for Nunez as well. And while Firmino didn't score as many goals as Mane and Salah, he was an integral part of that offense. Nunez has been the same. There is a reason why Anfield shouts his name every game, despite all the chances he has missed
Nunez has 20 GA this season... A GA every 88 minutes he plays...
Isak has 14 GA this season... A GA every 114 minutes he plays.
The football illiteracy on show here is palpable!!
I will make this statement, Nunez is a better footballer than Haaland, his creativity is showing with assists and his goals are on the way, I preferred Isak but now nothing is changing my mind now Nunez all the way. Salah’s goals are coming from Nunez
Daniyal: "Nunez doesn't score"
Also Daniyal: "How many goals has Nunez scored in a season and a half, I don't know"
25 Goals, 15 Assists in 1.5 years - and of course Grealish with his 11 PL goals in like 2-3 years in the best team ever is a hit, he gets credit for getting Carvajal booked (so???), meanwhile for Nunez it never counts because he apparently "doesn't score"
Nunez isn't a miss and he's also not Liverpools record signing.. and if ye think Rice is was hit I can't help ye. Arsenal are worse West Ham are better .. enough said
I don't get how you can call Grealish a hit but Nunez a miss. Both struggled their first season, both could do with more goal involvements, and both are making their team better when on the pitch.

Nunez is a definitely a hit, his impact is massive. If Liverpool are to win the league they will need Nunez as much as they need Salah
Have to have something wrong in the head to think Nunez is a flop
Without salahs goals Liverpool won’t be where they are huh?January was such a poor month for Liverpool it seems…
Nunez is not Liverpool's record signing he was 64 plus add ons and we don't know if any of the add ons was hit yet van dijk is our record signing 75 mill the Allison 72 mill
I just thinking this. There are about 20 million in add-ons, no?
@@RhythmFish1IF it was hit.
You're right about the add ons. But apparently some of those have been hit with him reaching 10 & 60 apps. That means the current fee is around 76 million, so just eclipsing the van dijk price tag. Alisson was 65 I think as well
THAT "OOH YEAH" FROM HER IN 20:43 WAS SOMETHING 🙌
Nieve brilliant as always. Would love to see Stuntpegg and JLA on the show together!
The bloke didn’t make a good argument regarding Nunez, he basically bases an entire player on what ifs. 😭
This take on Nunez really aged well 😂😂
You can easily weave out the casuals by their opinion on Nunez. Definite hit
Bullshit that the arsenal fans had the best arguments on Nunez it was just the usual lazy he doesn't score enough.
A striker that doesn't score enough what else needs to be said
@@JaiAnt-ui7ip He actually have a good goal contribution to minutes ratio. I get he miss to many big chances, but when he contribute with a lot of other things that means he is doing very fine.
Joe is a man United fan so he lets those colours shine through sometimes, like he wouldn’t kill to have Núñez at Man United
@@JaiAnt-ui7ipwell the no salah argument is crap. In 3 games against arsenal fulham and bounemouth liverpool have scored 8. Nunez started 2 of the 3 games and contributed 4. It is also proper crap because if you took Haaland out city would find it hard and have found it hard. You might say thats because kdb is out too but our creative outlet trent is out too.
@@JaiAnt-ui7ip because he contributes to the team in more ways than goals. Its simple as that. Can his shooting improve? Definitely. But he’s in the right spaces which takes skill. Most important have we seen improvement from last year. Definitely. I was tending to the fact that the without salah bull crap from the arsenal fan is pea brain logic. He was like diaz nunez elliot doesnt score enough or something ignoring jota who would walk into the arsenal front line.
Caicedo is brilliant. He doesn’t get the praise because of the price tag but he gets the best out of Enzo and Gallagher
Nice to see nieve in the studio and not trying to break into run down league 2 grounds
Nieve is brilliant she is one of maybe 5 guests who doesn’t base their opinion off what people say on Football Twitter! This guy made some OK points but mentioning things like miss compilations is where he lost me. Also comparing Antony to Pepe is harsh on Pepe.

@@marko9463 the DM’s job isn’t to defend. There is a back 4 for a reason. Poch needs to learn playing players out of position is what will concede goals.

As a chelsea fan I find it funny him saying Enzo has showed his qualities while caicedo hasn’t. Caicedo for me has been the better player this season
Nunez a flop gotta to be a mistake !! He’s tearing up this league 😂
Obvious these men dont watch rival games. This guy saying enzo shining and caicedo drowning… as a chelsea fan, enzo has not been shining, in fact hes been underperforming. Caicedo has been consistent, and has imprving every game.
Caicedo’s been clear of Enzo overall this season. Maybe not in the first few games when he was settling in but now he’s managing the midfield brilliantly right now. And they both had very similar price tags so if Enzo is considered a hit while he’s also had more time, then Caicedo is definitely a hit.
Genuinely think enzo this season has been shocking, caicedo is definitely good not worth the price tag but definitely good
i feel like it’s harsh to say without salahs goals liverpool would be nowhere cus it’s not like the other 4 forwards have played every game, they wouldn’t score as many in his absence but it wouldn’t be drastically less. Salah has played every minute in the league more or less, then the other 4 have played about half the minutes of the season so far so if we double their numbers as we double their game time it’s not bad at all. I think jota and gakpo have 5 goals so that’s 10 doubled, nunez has 5 goals 6 assists which is 22 g/a doubled then diaz has been underperforming scarily but with more consistent game time he could thrive. It’s easy to say “he’s only got 5 goals this season” but if he’s only played half the minutes it’s actually not bad cus if he did play every minute the maths would say 10 goals which is good at the halfway point and only 4 fewer than salah
caicedo is beast, silently cooking check his ratings and stats, his tackling is great
Enzo is a big flop compared to caicedo. Caicedo actually impacts games and is a good player, but overpriced nonetheless
