Robbie Fowler explains how Nunez can solve a critical problem at Liverpool.

The Reds have secured the signing of Portuguese star Darwin Nunez from Benfica this summer.

He is expected to ease the blow of Mane’s transfer to Bayern Munich and club legend Fowler explains how his involvement will benefit the team.

“I think it is really simple,” Fowler told bettingexpert. “We are driven now by a stats game and a data game. We have all seen the Money Ball film. I don’t think it is as complex as that.

“Now we’ve got a player obviously in Nunez who can come maybe this side of the defenders (play beyond the defenders). This should be obvious for a striker, but sometimes when you are this way, it makes the defenders want to roam backwards. It creates space for certain other players (in the middle) in these roles here. This has been played for years here, which obviously condenses the play. Nunez is a little bit of that player, he can play off the shoulder.

“The signs in terms of players, it is position specifics. It is bringing others into the game, it is knowing the fact that if the ball goes here you can hold it off, and you can bring other players into it. A good striker will always be the one who can hold it, feed others and then get himself into the box, for a cross or for a forward pass.

“I think if you look at stats in terms of the speed, the movements, the dribbling attributes, it is not as easy. I think he will score goals.”
