Former Tottenham forward, Jermaine Defoe has advised Liverpool not to bank on Darwin Nunez for goals because he\u2019s not a natural striker.<\/p>\n
Recall that Nunez has made 34 appearance, netted 11 goals and bagged 8 assists this ongoing season for the Reds.<\/p>\n
However, Defoe stated that Nunez is not good enough for a team that wants to win big trophies.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think [Diogo] Jota is probably the best finisher. He actually finishes, like calculated finishes. [Mohammed] Salah and N\u00fa\u00f1ez, they shoot if that makes sense.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey don\u2019t finish. Even N\u00fa\u00f1ez, in the last action when he went through on goal, the obvious solution was to go around the goalkeeper and then pass it into an empty net.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, for whatever reason, he tries to dink it over him. It\u2019s the wrong thing to do in that situation. The chances, when it comes consistently, like week after week and game after game and you are missing all these chances, then you are competing against teams like Man City and Arsenal that get these chances and players are converting these chances. Then you are going to fall behind.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
