  • New footage of another Darwin Nunez shocking miss has surfaced on the internet with rival fans having a go at the Liverpool striker
  • Nunez has been the subject of numerous rival trolls since his disastrous first outing for Liverpool against Manchester United
  • The 23-year-old Uruguayan striker would hope to find his feet within the shortest possible time as the new season beckons

Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez appears to be the toast of many rival fans, who have singled out the Uruguayan for trolls.

The former Benfica hitman joined the Reds for a colossal fee and was expected to hit the ground running however his early days as a Liverpool player has been nothing short of a nightmare.

Nunez had his first taste of trolls during Liverpool's pre-season game against Premier League rivals Manchester United which saw Nunez's side crash to a humbling 4-0 defeat.

Aside from the resounding nature of the result, Nunez made the headlines for missing a golden opportunity when Salah's initial effort graced the post which the striker skied his effort.

His miss made him the centre of mockery after the game. Despite Jurgen Klopp's characteristic backing, Nunez appears to be losing some of his ice-cold instincts which made him a toast in the UEFA Champions League last season.

As if his previous miss and quiet performance in a Liverpool jersey has not been enough, footage of Nunez missing a similar opportunity in the box has resurfaced on the internet.

Below are some reactions from rivals fans:

@TattedHardTimes questioned the quality of Nunez, arguing Chelsea's Werner is better than him.

"Be like Timo Werner better pass this one ooh."

Another fan @crazyykreed, who appears to be a fan of Chelsea, sarcastically intimated the Blues will need a striker like Nunez after the miss.

"Chelsea needs a striker like him."

@AwoshieRudiger1 tweeted in pidgin:

"Charley this guy nu, he sheda or dat be how he go play when dem start the league cuz."

@Poom_Poom7 reckons Nunez might have a below-par season as Lukaku did the previous campaign.

"Don’t stress... he is our Lakaka in the league for this season."

@derekvibez added:

"If this guy is not stopped, we might record more casualties at Anfield"

Nunez responds to naysayers after a nightmare start to life at Liverpool

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Darwin Nunez has taken to social media to subtly hit back at his critics following an underwhelming start to his Liverpool career.

The Uruguay international came to Liverpool with a lot of prospects, and the Reds broke their bank for his services in a £64 million deal.

Nunez, 23, made his debut against Manchester United in a preseason friendly in Bangkok, but it was Erik Ten Hag’s men who came out on top, thumping the Anfield side 4-0.
