Liverpool striker Darwin Núñez has responded to criticism following his shocking miss in the Premier League clash against Aston Villa, which cost his team two crucial points. The Uruguayan made it clear that just as he wasn’t the best player three weeks ago, he’s not the worst one now, showing resilience in the face of adversity.

Self-Criticism and Determination

Núñez came off the bench against Aston Villa and missed a golden opportunity, a chance with an 89% probability of scoring, according to statistics. After the match, he took to social media to send a message of self-belief:

"I wasn’t the best three weeks ago, and I’m not the worst now. If I fall, I get back up. You’ll never see me give up. I’ll give my all until the last day I’m at Liverpool."

Season Stats

So far, Darwin Núñez has played 35 matches this season for Liverpool, scoring six goals and providing five assists. Compared to his previous seasons at Anfield, his goal output has dipped:

• 2022-2023: 15 goals across all competitions.

• 2023-2024: 18 goals in total.

Despite his struggles, he still has 12 Premier League games, the League Cup final, and the Champions League ahead to turn his season around and change the narrative.
