We know that Nunez is capable of doing superhuman and ridiculous things – sometimes within seconds of each other. Just look at last week’s Europa League match against Toulouse; Nunez did everything well, got the opening goal. then hit the post. This means that Nunez is known as a somewhat “chaotic” player, with inconsistency often evident over a few minutes rather than an entire match. It was simply a stunning goal from Nunez and Jamie Carragher made Nunez a joke by tweeting just two words about Nunez – ‘chaos captain’.
This nickname has been around for a while and Liverpool fans probably wouldn’t have it. in any other way. This inconsistency we mentioned is visible through this lens. The ball was passed to Nunez, who had a poor first touch and the ball flew away from him. Bournemouth fans jeered Nunez after that throw-in, but they were quickly silenced when the Uruguayan brought the ball forward and fired into the net.
That a player can create that touch and then score a wonderful goal is unbelievable, but that’s exactly the type of player Nunez is at the moment. It often seems like Nunez doesn’t know what he’s going to do next, so good luck to any defenders trying to guess.
