IF I was Jurgen Klopp — or his likely successor, Arne Slot — I’d be on the phone to Michael Owen asking if he’d come in for sessions with Darwin Nunez.
The Uruguayan has every physical attribute needed to be a world-class striker but just needs to discover a cool head in front of goal.
Nunez has missed more big chances than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues — and if he’d scored a few more of them it might have been the difference between Liverpool winning the title or not.
He’s not the only Liverpool player guilty of missing a lot of chances.
Mo Salah, who seems to have switched off and mentally left Anfield already, has squandered plenty too.
Jurgen Klopp's approach with Robert Lewandowski bodes well for Darwin Nunez
I’d persevere with Nunez, as composure in front of goal can be learnt.
He needs something of a split personality, showing aggression outside the box, then switching to cool-headed predator mode to take his chances.
Former Reds striker Owen is one of the coolest finishers I’ve ever seen — and that’s why I’d give him a ring.
Nunez has scored 18 goals in all competitions this season but has also hit the woodwork nine times in the Prem - four more than any other player.
Liverpool will hope Slot is the man to get Nunez firing with the Dutchman poised to be confirmed as Klopp's successor.
