Darwin Nunez faced criticism after a glaring miss in the 2-2 draw against Aston Villa, which also cost Liverpool a chance to extend their lead in the Premier League. Manager Arne Slot highlighted Nunez's lack of work rate following the miss rather than the miss itself. While the striker acknowledged the importance of resilience, he assured fans of his commitment to Liverpool, emphasizing that he would keep striving until his last day with the club. Nunez's recent form reflects a need for improvement amidst scrutiny and expectations.
It's more about the 20 minutes afterwards where I want to talk to him, [rather] than about him missing a chance. I think the most important message is you can miss a chance but you can't miss out on work rate.
It's part of the job of a No 9, part of your life that you sometimes miss where people expect you to score. But it's not part of the job of a No 9 then to slow down in work rate.
