Things are not looking bright for the Uruguayan striker, Darwin Nunez. Ever since he joined Liverpool from Benfica, the 23-year-old is yet to strike a chord with his new team. Except for the first two matches where he scored, his poor form thereafter disappointed fans.

Klopp’s long talk

Liverpool’s German manager, however, is confident of Nunez's turning around soon. Jurgen Klopp had a long talk with the striker on Sunday, which will likely make the Uruguayan match ready for Tuesday's crucial Champions League game with Rangers.

Klopp said that he asked Nunez to be calm as there was nothing to worry about, and the team management was positive towards Nunez. In addition, Klopp felt that Liverpool's overall poor performance was also affecting Nunez. Fans always expect new players to shine immediately but that doesn't happen. Nunez will fire soon.
