The Reds seemingly need to be active in the winter transfer market to avoid further slip-ups of the same like.
Liverpool supporters should be delighted with the way that Jurgen Klopp has successfully reshaped the side after a terrible 2022/23 campaign, now fighting at the forefront of the Premier League pack once again.
That doesn’t mean that the Anfield faithful cannot eagerly await the next phase in the rebuild; last year’s sapped midfield has been built anew on an industrial scale, but Fabinho’s summer sale to Al-Ittihad means that there is still ample room for a shiny new specialist No. 6.
Sunday’s draw against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road exposed this, with shades of last season’s malaise creeping in as the Reds languished to a 1-1 draw, with the striking performance of Darwin Nunez very much compounding the evening.
Darwin Nunez’s stats vs Luton
Having made impressive improvements to his game since the summer, Liverpool were treated to a harrowing spectacle of the Nunez of old against Luton.
Liverpool might’ve had their blushes spared by Luis Diaz’s last-gasp equaliser off the bench – an extraordinary and emotional moment given the Colombian’s ongoing family crisis – but the ceded territory highlighted weaknesses in this resurgent Reds squad.
Nunez missed three big chances, hitting the target three times, missing it on four occasions and seeing two efforts blocked, as per Sofascore; candidly, it was not a demonstration of the Uruguayan’s best qualities and progress this year, and had he been more clinical his side surely would have walked away with all the goods.
