Jurgen Klopp said: "His problem is that he’s that good that he is constantly in these moments, so obviously if he was a little bit less good he would not have chances and people would just say, 'He is not great.'"
"It is because he is that good that he is in these moments where he can finish it off and now he’s not finishing off in the moment. How many goals did he score [this season]? I think he’s not too bad with numbers too, right?"
"So, it’s just because of his quality that he is constantly in situations where everybody thinks, 'Again, again.'"
"And because of our situation as a team, where we had chances and didn’t score, if somebody else would have scored in that situation then it wouldn’t have felt that bad. That’s the situation, but again: nobody likes it but it’s part of a career. That’s it."
This season Darwin Nunez has 19 goal involvements in the Premier League. It equates to 0.85 per 90 minutes and puts Nunez in the top 97 percentile of Premier League players.
Those are great stats but the Liverpool striker really has problems with his conversion rate - 12.79%. It puts him in the 59 percentile of Premier League players.
To score a goal Nunez needs 7.82 shots on average and as Klopp explained, Darwin creates a lot of moments so it seems like he misses a lot too.
With better finishing, he could be the best striker in the world but for now, these numbers are the best that Nunez can propose to Liverpool fans.
