"Sometimes you need a moment of brilliance and when you have players like Luis on the pitch, he can create something out of nothing. The rest of the lads in that dressing room will pick him up as it's a good dressing room." The issue wasn't tonight, the problem is how long it will be until he is back in the team as he'll likely only be on the bench after the suspension to get up to speed so it could be five or six weeks until we see him back in the Liverpool starting XI." "I will talk to him, it makes no sense when I talk too much about it in public. We have to get around him and rally. Wilfried Zaha's first-half goal had given Palace the lead against the run of play and when Nunez reacted foolishly to a push from Joachim Andersen.

He’s a different striker to what we have or what we had, but he’s a really good one." "We always think that if you pay a lot of money then the players feel no pressure or whatever. In the immediate aftermath of his move to Merseyside, Sky Sports asked Portuguese football expert Pedro Sepulveda about the forward's character. Of course I will talk about it with Darwin but not yet." Though he was undeniably provoked by the Palace centre-back, Nunez responded in a way that let both his teammates and himself down. Things got worse in the second half when Nunez was shown a straight red card for a foolish headbutt on Eagles defender Joachim Andersen.

“It’s something we need and he provided that bit of special action and he can be so much better. That’s something we have to learn from, keep going, but we want to win and we’ll look for that in the next game. But that’s the outside world and we concentrate on what we can influence and that’s our performance. Liverpool have failed to win their opening two matches of a Premier League campaign for the first time since 2012-13 and already trail Manchester City by four points. “He has to control himself, definitely,” said the Liverpool defender. “Obviously he was disappointed and also probably with himself.

Darwin Núñez getting into the whole pub-car-park-infused carry-on (The Guardian)

Virgil van Dijk has promised to “always back” his teammate, with the caveat that “he knows it should not happen again and hopefully it will be that way”, while ...

While we don’t know exactly what’s gone on, and he’s got lots more tests to have, for a few seconds he did die on the pitch.” Do we really need to know that this is only the third time ever that Manchester City have started a match at 5.30pm in a temperature of more than 25 degrees? But as things stand, Núñez will be kept out of public sight, set to work on building his strength while missing home games against Bournemouth and Newcastle, as well as next Monday’s crisis-baton derby at Manchester United. That showdown remains an appointment to view despite Núñez’s absence; after all, nobody likes to see big clubs thrashing about at the bottom of the table, but etc. We’re saying it’s fine to enjoy Nunez’s Begbiesque tendencies, and consume the pantomime fun in a relaxed state of High Amusement, but then The Fiver doesn’t have any kids, we neither think of them nor care. Whether this sort of pub-car-park-infused carry-on will be embraced by the more milquetoast members of the newly popular Nobody Likes To See It But They Do movement, who recently coalesced around the lingering handshake between Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte, a brouhaha straight out of the quainter playground playbook, remains to be seen. Wilfried Zaha and Luis Díaz both scored delightful goals at Anfield on Monday night, but that wasn’t the half of it for fans of aesthetic purity.
