Klopp says Nunez’s English still sucks, and reveals what is the ticket for Liverpool’s starting XI

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits Darwin Nunez is still adapting to what’s required from him at Anfield.The Uruguay striker has scored 15 goals in 37 appearances in all competitions since his move from Benfica last summer for an initial fee of £64 million.”Darwin is a player with a different skillset to our other players which is good. He’s a real handful, a machine. He will score a lot of goals, and he’s scored a decent number already,” Klopp said.Dear Darwin, you’re playing like ujinga”But of course, he’s still adapting. His English still isn’t great, but we’re working on that. It’s not helpful to go through a debut season when it’s difficult for the whole team.”How can a striker shine when the whole team is struggling? It’s not impossible, but he’s had some super moments. He was injured in some moments and suspended in others. This is a long-term project.##NAJAVA_MECA_7198406####EDITORS_CHOICE##”I understand that he wants to play desperately from the beginning but we have to find a way that really works for us again and then fit in the players we can use with the specific strengths.”I am completely fine with the situation and I understand that Darwin isn’t always fine. He doesn’t smile in my face when he realises he won’t start and say: ‘thank-you boss.’ But when you have five or six players available up front you have to make decisions.”He has to learn English…”🎥 Jurgen Klopp has spoken about Darwin Nunez’s first season at LFC and revealed his English is still ‘non-existent’. pic.twitter.com/sfd2yoAdAb— This Is Anfield (@thisisanfield) April 21, 2023 “The door is miles open. He came on the other night and was exceptional. It was exactly the right way. With five games in the next two weeks, Darwin will start games, definitely.”PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 32Friday22:00: (1.20) Arsenal (6.75) Southampton (14.0)Saturday14:30: (2.45) Fulham (3.50) Leeds (3.05)17:00: (2.60) Brentford (3.35) Aston Villa (2.90)17:00: (2.15) Crystal Palace (3.30) Everton (3.90)17:00: (2.50) Leicester (3.35) Wolverhampton (3.05)17:00: (1.20) Liverpool (7.75) Nott.Forest (16.0)Manchester United – Chelsea POSTPONEDSunday16:00: (2.95) Bournemouth (3.25) West Ham (2.65)16:00: (1.90) Newcastle (3.50) Tottenham (4.10)Brighton – Manchester City POSTPONED***odds are subject to change***
