JAKARTA - Liverpool manager Arne Slot has described his frustration at Darwin Nunez after he left the Uruguayan on the bench when Liverpool won 2-0 over Manchester City.
Slot previously said he was unhappy with Nunez's behavior after a 2-2 draw at Aston Villa's headquarters.
Liverpool manager has now revealed that he is not satisfied with the striker's performance in his last two matches.
"I helped him by saying that you could lose the chance (against Villa)."
"I'm not just being tough on him. However, for the second time in a row, I'm not happy with his work efforts, against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa."
"I can't accept if a player doesn't give everything. It's clear. I can accept it once, but twice is a bit too much. That's why I discussed it."

"If you lose the chance, you have to fight for the team. I'm not saying he didn't do that at all."
"However, it was not Darwin who was ordinary, loved by fans. You see, he always worked hard," said Arne Slot.
Nunez missed a golden opportunity to score against Aston Villa and his frustration is clear.
However, Arne Slot said the 25-year-old had worked hard in training ahead of Newcastle United's visit on Thursday, February 27, 2025, early morning WIB.
"Yesterday (Monday, February 24, 2025) he was extraordinary in training sessions in terms of working levels."
"Hopefully he can continue to do this. Whenever the team needs him, he is ready for that if he continues to train like he did yesterday," said Arne Slot again.
