Liverpool players are not performing well. Nunez was brought in as a replacement for Sadio Mane, but he has yet to prove his worth. Nunez needs some time to adapt to the Liverpool team, I don't think Liverpool's performance will improve if Nunez doesn't play well. Nunez and Salah will need to perform well if Liverpool is to improve. If this duo doesn't play well, it doesn't look like Liverpool will be able to challenge for the title this season.

No, Liverpool don't depend on Nunez alone. The problem Liverpool is facing at the moment is the storm of injuries that hit their midfielder, the defeat to Manchester United because Liverpool always conceded in their midfield. Even though Nunez and Salah played well, they couldn't do much on the pitch because the supply of the ball from the midfield was very little. Now Liverpool must take advantage of the rest of the midfielders who are still fit, or put one of their attackers in the section to help the flow of the ball to the front line.

Now this is a complete but short analysis of Liverpool against Manchester United  even without Darwin Nunez, they did caused some serious problems upfront with the like of Salah, Elliott, Frimino and also Diaz.
It was very obvious they lacked ball delivery into Manchester United eighteen yard box, the little they had came from Alexander's crosses.
Which they didn't utilize, the missing man in that game was Thiago Alcantara to do those direct passes Across the pitch switching plays but he's absence was obvious for those that knows how to watch football, Henderson and Minler? I'll say nothing about them but with Thiago they would've stand a chance tooo.

Seen talks about linking up with Frankee De Jong,as possible replacement for him would this make sense ? It's not about getting players but getting the right player that fits into the club! Sure thing I'll say again is they really missed Sadio!
