Some memes already appearing that Nunez is the next Andy Caroll, because they have similar face lol
Though, I still can't believe the transfer price, but Nunez was actually really great player, his contribution in Benfica was extra ordinary. The performance in pre-season should be just in pre-season. I wish Klop can make him adapt and back to his prime performance.
Maybe. Nunez is in worse situation than Caroll because he is not an England player and the coming season will be his first season in Premier League. Caroll played well in Premier League at Newcastle before his transfer to Liverpool. Nunez is facing with more challenges than Caroll. Worse, the bad pre-season friendly matches can be very harmful for the adaptation of Nunez in Liverpool. It also affects the confidence and mentality of Caroll.
Darwin Nunez will gradually improve on his performance we shouldn't rate or judge him based on pre-season matches yet, he is facing a lot of pressure to perform and impress with the huge sign-on fee paid
We never know. Many good players failed after a big transfer. You are right about pressure from a huge transfer cost. Furthermore, adaptation to a new league is very challenging. I am not sure Nunez can play well in Premier League even he does not move there after a very big transfer.
A first half of season will be important. If Nunez can play at acceptable level, he can have a good adventure in Liverpool but if he has very bad first half season, he might face with a serious failure in Liverpool. Morata, Lukaku and some great strikers failed in Premier League. It can be from themselves, from the difference between leagues, from transfer and expectation pressure.
