Live from Anfield, Liverpool manager Arne Slot has delivered a scathing critique of Darwin Núñez’s recent performances, both for club and country. His comments come after the striker’s underwhelming displays in Uruguay’s World Cup qualifiers, adding to concerns following costly mistakes against Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle United.
“I watched his performances for Uruguay, and I have just one question—how is this guy even a footballer?” Slot said, visibly frustrated. “How he ended up at this club is beyond me. Once the Premier League resumes, I don’t want him near the squad. He should stay in his country or find a club that can tolerate his performances. The way he let down his national team, just as he did against PSG and Newcastle, is unacceptable.”
