He's not good enough. Full stop.
Free header? Have you ever played football?I mean, when he missed that free header, after missing something like 5 big chances.
Inexcusable at top level that. I am done with him.
Record xG and he doesn't manage to score. I can't wrap my head around it.
That’s Darwin for you…
In Nunez’s defence, a player with a low football IQ would not have made that pass to Salah.
A good striker would have scored himself.
Well, if he'd have shot and scored that would have been equally correct of course.No, the pass was the only correct decision.

If we had a striker who scored, no-one would give 2 shits about his build-up play. The amount of chances we create, a top striker would be getting 20+ goals like a casual wank here. Ian Rush would score 50 every season playing with this team. He'd do fuck all else but he'd score 50. 50 fuckin goals. That's what strikers do. We all love Nunez nuisance value but, you know ... the onion bag is still the main adjudicator.

Alright Larry lad, there's s being nice and there's getting scary.
Anyways I'm glad we're all finally agreed that Darwin is fucking wank. What happens now? Someone takes him round the back of the forum and shoots him and we win the league?
Lowlights:
He's clearly affected by those misses. Looks like he's afraid to miss and is just trying to get the shots on goal. Most of his shots are straight at the keeper. To me it looks like a lack of confidence thing.
He becomes more and more like an expensive replacement for Origi every day.
Except he scores less.
I don’t dislike Darwin. - he’s out of form - he needs dropping to the bench to come on late and just run at teams for 30 mins and get a few more Newcastle performances under his belt.
We can’t keep persisting with him through the middle if he’s playing so badly.
Yep.Nunez on the right while Salah is away makes more sense.
His best display by a mile was in that space vs Newcastle away.

Yeah even the commentators said it was no more than a half chance at best. He actually got a fair few on target yesterday - a bit more luck, or good goalkeeping, and he'd have had a couple. If he keeps hitting the target (I think he's improving in that regard, I don't see as many wild shots) he'll score enough over the season. However it's the overall contribution that's important - see my other post on comments by Klopp, Burley etc.Free header? Have you ever played football?
I'm pretty sure you said the same thing about Gakpo and Diaz too. Yet here we are with one of the best goals scoring records and top of the PL.He becomes more and more like an expensive replacement for Origi every day.
