JAKARTA - Darwin Nunez was again branded bad when Liverpool lost 1-3 to Brentford. He created very disappointing statistics.

In an away match at the Gtech Community Stadium, Tuesday, January 3 in the morning WIB, the Reds lost because they could only reply in the 50th minute through the execution of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Actually, the final score could be different because Liverpool got a golden opportunity in the early minutes. However, that opportunity was wasted because Darwin Nunez was not mature in processing the ball from Mohamed Salah.

What Nunez did then extend his negative record. Quoted from Livescore, the Uruguayan has failed to convert golden opportunities 15 times, more than any player in the Premier League this season.

As a result, Darwin Nunez's goal drought continued into four games in a row. Nunez has only scored nine goals in 22 appearances for Liverpool in all 2022/2023 competitions, including five goals he has just contributed in 13 Premier League games.

After failing to take advantage of a good chance at the start of the game, Nunez's performance against Brentford got worse as it only made 29 touches and 12 passes. He also got a yellow card and 11 times lost the ball.

This bad statistic further cornered the player who was brought in from Benfica. After being bought, Nunez often performed poorly with the Reds.

He wasted several chances to score, even though he was in a very profitable condition. In fact, several times he was juxtaposed with Andy Carroll, a former Liverpool player who also failed to shine after being bought expensive.
