49erssports.com - Darwin Nunez's slick performance is one of the good news behind Liverpool's victory over West Ham in the 2022/23 Premier League midweek duel, Thursday (21/10/2022) in the middle of last week.
Playing at Anfield, the Reds only won by a narrow score of 1-0, the only goal came from Nunez's impressive header in the 22nd minute. This goal was also Nunez's first goal at Anfield in the Premier League.
Nunez even had time to get several other mature opportunities, but this time only one was converted into a goal. It was also very good for Nunez personally who had been depressed.
A goal machine
Since the start of the season, Nunez has been plagued by rumors that he is a failed Liverpool purchase. Now, Nunez's performance is starting to show significant developments.
Nunez's teammate, Kostas Tsimikas, believes the Uruguay striker will continue to score incredible goals once he gets over the pressure. Now what Nunez needs is confidence.
"He [Nunez] is always in a mature position. He can score goals with his left foot, with his right foot, with a header, he is really a goal machine," Tsimikas said on LFC TV.
More confident
Tsimikas saw Nunez's potential to become one of Liverpool's top strikers. He knew Nunez's difficulties yesterday couldn't be denied, but now Nunez looked more mature and confident.
"He needs confidence, that feeling keeps growing and I hope he can score more goals to help us win more."
"Because for us he is a very, very important player. I am very happy for him, because I know he is already hoping to score goals."
Game by game
Furthermore, Tsimikas hopes that Nunez will not lose self-control for the next matches. He wants Nunez to slowly escape the pressure by scoring goals regularly.
"For sure he will score more goals, but we hope he can maintain his energy level and goals for our next game."
