Nunez is not going to be slickest of players in the build up, but the impact he's having is undeniable. The finish at the weekend was brilliant, so was the assist. It looked awkward, but he meant it. Additionally he could have had another assist after laying the ball off neatly for Diaz who was unfortunate his effort was blocked from close range. Salah and Diaz are quickly learning that if they get near Nunez, they will be presented with decent goal-scoring opportunities close to goal. It's reassuring to see that coming together already. And all this impact from Nunez came in second half cameo where our fullbacks were mostly dog shit, so imagine where we'll be when we're on song and dominating the ball from the wider areas.
It's no exaggeration to say would have won the game if Nunez had started. Klopp needs to accept that Firmino is now a rotation player. I've read elsewhere that if we're to win the league we'll need around 95 points, which means we've dropped around 10% of the points allowed already on the opening day. Unfortunately the standards are so high that there's simply no time not to go with our strongest eleven from the get-go.
