Klopp makes emphatic Darwin Nunez goal claim as Liverpool eye top-four spot




Jurgen Klopp believes there is more to come from Darwin Nunez despite a modest return in front of goal for Liverpool this season


Nunez, 23, has scored nine times in 29 Premier League appearances following his big-money move from Benfica last summer. He has added a further six goals in cup competitions to take his tally up to 15 for the campaign.



Nunez has received some criticism from fans and pundits for his finishing and performance


Klopp has defended the Uruguayan, however, and claimed he would have scored a lot more goals if in a better Liverpool team.


Jürgen Klopp:


He needed time to settle. The most difficult thing for a striker is to come in to a team that is not clicking. For him to have scored 15 goals anyway, imagine if by our standards a good season with 70 or 80 points, he would have scored 20-odd goals definitely.


"That's how it is but they had much more that we created in this period. But 15 goals is still absolutely fine and three games to go so possibly increase that number as well.


"We spoke about it. He needs time to adapt. He had that at Benfica as well, but there wasn't the language issue, or less of a language issue than there was here. It's clear that we will try to help him and he can help us even more than he has done already."
