Liverpool Fans Baffled by Darwin Nunez’s Offside Antics in Final Pre-Season Friendly
Liverpool’s final pre-season friendly against Las Palmas at Anfield ended in a 0-0 draw, but the real story was the on-field antics of Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez. The 24-year-old forward was involved in a series of offside incidents, including one goal that was disallowed due to his positioning.
Fans took to social media to express their frustration and amusement at Nunez’s struggles with staying onside. "In other news, water is wet," tweeted one fan, while another joked, "Nunez and offside have you ever known a duo like it." One fan even begged the heavens, "God, if you’re there, could you please make Darwin onside?"
While Nunez has impressed in his two seasons at Liverpool, his positioning has been a persistent issue. Last season, he was offside 33 times in the Premier League, more than any other player in the league. Despite this, he still managed to score 11 league goals and assist eight.
Fans are hoping that under new manager Arne Slot, Nunez will finally iron out his offside woes and become the clinical finisher Liverpool need. Slot has a reputation for getting the best out of his strikers, and with Nunez’s pace and power, he could be a key player for the Reds this season.
Liverpool also played a second friendly against Sevilla on the same day, winning 4-1 with goals from Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, and Trey Nyoni. It was a positive display from the Merseyside club, but the focus remains on Nunez’s struggles with staying onside.
