‘Nightmare’: Danny Murphy says LFC have a player who can score 20 goals but he’s only started 3 PL games

TalkSPORT pundit Danny Murphy is convinced that Darwin Nunez will score 20 goals a season for Liverpool if he starts regularly.

The Uruguayan has been really good for the Reds this campaign, but he hasn’t been a regular starter. He has been given the nod from the start on just three occasions in the Premier League this season. Murphy has urged Jurgen Klopp to start him every game.

Darwin Nunez can score 20 goals a season for Liverpool, according to Danny Murphy.

Darwin Nunez was acquired by Liverpool for £85 million from Benfica last year (Sky Sports).

The Uruguayan international received a lot of criticism after a challenging season, but his stats don’t seem all that bad.

Nunez had a very respectable first season in England, tallying 15 goals and dishing out four assists across all competitions.

Nevertheless, Nunez faced harsh criticism because he squandered 20 excellent opportunities in the Premier League the previous season.

Klopp has only given him three league starts this season. Murphy is now pleading with the Liverpool manager to utilize him in every match.

TalkSPORT quoted him as saying, “I really like what I see.” I’ve been pleading with him for a long now to give him a strong run of games because a strong run of games is essential for any young striker attempting to establish himself as a starter and elevate his status within the team.”He must be a nightmare to play against; he will score goals.” Would he score 20 goals for you if he played every game? He probably will. He seems capable to me; he’s fast, skilled in the air, big, and game.

Nunez ought to go first.

Darwin. Nunez is a superb athlete.

The Uruguayan did, in fact, miss opportunities in front of goal, but all elite strikers do. Despite missing nine significant opportunities this season, Erling Haaland is still thought to be the greatest striker in the world.

Murphy is correct; Nunez should have a solid run of games in the upcoming weeks according to Klopp. We believe he will score a lot of goals because the more he begins, the better.

The Merseyside Derby between Liverpool and Everton is the team’s first match following the international break. It will be intriguing to watch if Nunez is chosen right away.
