How will Darwin Nunez fit in under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool?

The
Uruguayan
international
had
a
stellar
last
season
with
the
Eagles
in
Portugal
having
scored
34
goals
in
41
games
across
all
competitions.

The
Reds
have
had
to
splash
almost
€100
million
for
the
services
of
the
22-year-old
with
an
initial
fee
of
€75
million
and
another
€25
million
in
potential
add-ons.

than

coach

Meanwhile,
Jurgen
Klopp’s
side
have
also
parted
ways
with
Sadio
Mane
who
has
left
the
club
to
join
Bayern
Munich.

Having
played
such
a
crucial
role
for
the
Merseyside
giants
over
the
years,
it
is
imperative
that
Reds
will
struggle
to
cope
with
the
absence
of
the
Senegalese
international.

Nunez’s
arrival
could
mean
a
significant
change
in
the
way
Liverpool
approach
their
game.
Jurgen
Klopp
has
mostly
used
a
false
nine
up
front
over
the
years
at
Anfield
with
two
wide
attackers
operating
as
inside
forwards.

Salah
and
Mane
have
been
mostly
used
as
the
two
wide
players
by
Klopp
while
Firmino
has
mostly
played
as
the
false
nine.
Diogo
Jota
and
Sadio
Mane
have
also
taken
up
the
false
nine
position
when
needed,
especially
over
the
last
couple
of
seasons.

With
a
natural
number
nine
like
Nunez
at
his
disposal,
it
will
be
a
waste
of
his
talent
if
Klopp
uses
him
either
as
a
false
nine
or
an
inside
forward
even
though
the
22-year-old
has
the
skillset
of
playing
in
either
roles.
Nunez
is
expected
to
be
deployed
by
an
out
and
out
centre-forward
which
could
suggest
that
Klopp
could
revert
to
the
4-2-3-1
system
which
he
mostly
used
at
Borussia
Dortmund.

Liverpool
have
scored
plenty
of
goals
last
season
but
they
have
often
lacked
that
cutting
edge
in
big
crucial
games.
The
Reds
played
three
finals
and
failed
to
find
the
back
of
the
net
in
any
of
those
games.
A
player
like
Nunez
could
provide
the
Reds
a
much-needed
security
up
front.
The
22-year-old
has
a
completely
different
profile
to
that
of
Salah,
Diaz
or
Jota
and
that
would
add
a
whole
new
dimension
to
the
Reds’ attack.
