Liverpool manager Arne Slot has expressed concerns over striker Darwin Núñez's mentality following his missed opportunity during a recent match against Aston Villa. While Slot accepts that players can miss chances, he feels Núñez's response to this miss negatively affected his performance. Instead of continuing to work hard for the team, Núñez seemed too disappointed. Slot encourages him to emulate midfielder Wataru Endo’s consistent and positive mindset, suggesting that maintaining a focus on teamwork is critical after setbacks on the pitch.
I would prefer him to score, but the word chance says it all. Players miss chances, that I can accept. But what was harder was his behaviour after that chance.
I think he was too disappointed after missing that chance, and maybe -- we will never know -- that's why he was just a fraction short.
It's always the best to have Watta's mindset. For the whole season, he keeps on going, and whenever we need him, he's ready.
It's not about the chance for me, it's more about the 20 minutes afterwards where I want to talk to him.
