Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool defeated Nuno’s Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, and Sky Sports analyst Thierry Henry was pleased by one Anfield player.
Liverpool beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 away from home at the City Ground in the Premier League this weekend.
Darwin Nunez scored the match’s sole goal in the ninth minute of injury time. Alexis MacAllister supplied the assist with a fantastic cross.
The build-up to the goal was highly contentious, but Arsenal legend and Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry praised Nunez, 24, for his headed effort, pointing out that he was not very skilled at scoring goals like the Uruguay international striker.
Thierry Henry praised Liverpool attacker Darwin Nunez against Nottingham Forest.
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher asked Henry on Sky Sports News (7:27 p.m., March 4, 2024) about Nunez’s goal: “How good was the actual header there when he was almost going backwards on it?”
Henry said, “I wasn’t that fantastic with that, but where he did so well is that you just have to strike it practically moving now, because he was pushed a little down.
“He met the ball right where he should have, at the top of his jump, and then brought it down. Nottingham Forest’s defender is unable to generate any strength in his jump due to back-pedaling. It’s quite difficult to defend like that.”
My opinion: Darwin Nunez is a vital player for Liverpool presently.
Darwin Nunez, in my opinion, has become a really crucial player for Liverpool. Yes, the striker still misses some decent opportunities, but he also scores some vital goals.
Nunez’s finishing style is inconsistent. He can be unpredictable. But, in my opinion, he must start frequently for Liverpool between now and the end of the season.
With his speed and ability to get into favorable positions, the 24-year-old poses a challenge to opposing defenses.
This season, the Uruguayan striker has 10 goals and seven assists in 16 Premier League starts and nine substitute appearances for Liverpool.
