According to Jamie Carragher verdict on Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez ‘He’s never going to be’

Analysis of Liverpool: Dominik Szoboslzai is unexpectedly expelled as the Premier League gap opens Dominik Szoboslzai makes an impression during Liverpool's Premier League match against Nottingham Forest at Anfield. Szoboszlai unexpectedly banished It was really a question of time until Dominik Szoboszlai addressed the one issue that was oddly absent from his extraordinarily successful debut at Anfield. As the Reds attempted to build on the momentum from Diogo Jota's opening goal, Szoboszlai scored in a characteristically decisive manner ten minutes before halftime. Following an acceptance of a pass from Jota, the Liverpool midfielder surged into the area for the return pass, sent Mohamed Salah wide, and then pulled the ball back from the byline for Darwin Nunez to score. Remarkable  Szoboszlai's first direct assist in a competitive game since joining Liverpool in the summer, which scarcely speaks to the impact he has had on the attacking efforts and tempo of the Reds. He didn't have to wait long for his second, albeit somewhat against his will as Forest goalie Matt Turner, playing miles outside of his comfort zone, gave the Hungarian's straightforward clearance a hard time, making Salah just the third player in Liverpool history to score in the team's first five home games of the season. Because of his engine, Szoboszlai was always there in the Premier League and ran as hard in the final minute as he did in the first. In just his first ten Premier League appearances, the 23-year-old has already established himself as a mainstay. Mac Allister is still learning. Not everything has been that simple for each summer arrival. However, there is increasing assurance that Alexis Mac Allister is adjusting to both his new role in the club and life at Liverpool. That assertion was reinforced by a strong performance against a constrained but resilient Nottingham Forest, especially in handling the physical demands of playing at number six. Even if the Argentine never seems to be fully comfortable in the unfamiliar position, in this instance his perseverance was a great asset, best seen when he took Murillo's possession to start Liverpool's counterattack and sent Salah running off. It was reminiscent of his role in setting up the game-winning second goal in the Reds' derby victory over Everton the previous weekend. This showed promise for Liverpool's future when Mac Allister is used more upfield in terms of accuracy and passing vision. However, he is just one booking away from receiving a Premier League suspension—an absence Klopp is unlikely to be able to afford anytime soon. Wataru Endo, the defensive midfield prospect in waiting, at least received more first-team playing time in the closing stages, and both Ryan Gravenberch and Harvey Elliott, who came on as a second-half substitute, made valuable contributions. Van Dijk quietens doubters It would be easy to think Virgil van Dijk is done when you hear the commotion emanating from Holland. Thank goodness, Liverpool is not at all associated with such drivel. Van Dijk, who had been outstanding in the previous weekend's victory over Everton, once again excelled against an attacking threat from Forest that was, to put it mildly, only capable of forcing one save out of Alisson Becker, and that was only in the last seconds. Van Dijk is starting to get used to playing in the later phases of his career. He is readjusting his defensive manoeuvres and keeping in mind that his pace is obviously not as quick as it was when he was younger. Additionally, it made it possible for Liverpool to maintain consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League for the first time this year. As a matter of fact, only Manchester City and Arsenal have allowed less goals in 10 games than the Reds' defence, which is still under scrutiny. This season, Klopp's team has won eight straight games at Anfield in all competitions, which has helped them to stay up with those two teams as well as the early leaders, Tottenham Hotspur. The differences between Newcastle United, Manchester United, and Chelsea—who are currently six, eight, and eleven points behind Liverpool, respectively—are more fascinating, though. The previous season taught the Reds that these kinds of discrepancies are difficult to overcome

In his remarks, Jamie Carragher discussed Darwin Nunez, the striker who had a mixed afternoon against Luton Town.

Darwin Nunez’s recent progress at Liverpool has been praised by Jamie Carragher, but the Uruguayan needs to be more clinical in front of goal if he is to reach his full potential at Anfield.

That is Darwin Nunez’s problem. He has so much to be admirable about him, and this season has been fantastic for him, but he also has those kinds of moments where those who aren’t the biggest supporters of his or don’t believe he’s quite at the top level can all point to them,” Carragher said.

“There was one of the first after just thinking, not being clinical, but a different style of finish, so he has to change those tiny situations like that. Instead of just pushing through whenever he has the chance, he needs to incorporate that into his play and exercise a little more delicacy.

“We know that after 19 months in our league, he’s dangerous, a handful, and never going to be the most clinical, but there’s been a noticeable improvement this season,” the player said. As the ninth player for Liverpool, he needs to put an end to the memes. He needs to act more clinically in certain circumstances.

As Liverpool’s transfer concerns subsided, Jarell Quansah just confirmed Jürgen Klopp’s correctness once more.

Liverpool’s finest performer as the Reds advanced to the Carabao Cup quarterfinals was Jarell Quansah, who is justifying Jürgen Klopp’s optimism.

As Jürgen Klopp has dubbed it, Liverpool 2.0, is fully underway. Following their dismal 2023–24 season, the Reds have gotten off to an almost flawless start this time around.

They are chasing a top spot in the Premier League alongside Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City, are looking to end the Europa League season on a high and are currently in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
A 2-1 win at Bournemouth sent the Reds to safety on the south coast despite dire conditions.

Meanwhile, results elsewhere have opened the door to this final race. With Manchester City, Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United already eliminated, the way is clear for Liverpool to return the trophy to Anfield early.

It’s been a good start to the season, with Klopp’s summer rebuild proving successful so far.
But there are doubts among some supporters.
At the start of the season, Manchester United’s defense looked shaky. Liverpool can’t break their habit of saying no first, and their decision not to sign a new defender felt like a gamble.
But Klopp probably knew what was in store.

And Jarell Quanza against Bournemouth showed why fans can be more confident.
The 20-year-old was outstanding defensively against Cherries and made just his fourth start for the senior side. His courage and composure were only affected by the blizzards and heavy rains he encountered.

So far this season, Quanza has not disappointed when he got the call from Liverpool.
Even after receiving an emergency call-up against Wolves and progressing on the European stage, he showed maturity beyond his years and gave the manager confidence.
“It’s part of the development.

As Liverpool's transfer concerns subsided, Jarell Quansah just confirmed Jürgen Klopp's correctness once more.

If you’re not ready for [the physical fight], it’s hard to play senior football, to be honest.” Klopp had this to say after Cuansa’s match with Union SG last month: “But I had no doubt he was ready for it. It’s all because of him.
“It wasn’t a difficult decision for us to have him in the lineup tonight.”

Liverpool’s defense has been more consistent than previous displays, with Virgil van Dijk finding his best form in recent games against Everton and Nottingham Forest, and Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip providing healthy competition to partner the Dutchman.
Predicted. With Kwansa’s support, the signs for the rest of the season are certainly encouraging.

It surely relieves some of Klopp’s strain as the January window approaches. Although some first feared, he will still have a new defender at the top of his buying list.

There will be more challenging exams ahead, especially as the holiday season draws closer. However, Quansah’s performance against Bournemouth suggested that Klopp may already have a candidate to replace Van Dijk and Matip in the long run
