Although the Reds encountered over the 90 minutes of the match certain complications that must be improved for the return leg, the German coach has identified a new strength in his attacking sector that can be used in all competitions, seeing in Darwin Nunez a better performance coming from the substitutes' bench than being a starter, being perhaps his best performance as a revulsive and as a playmaker.

It is important to point out that Nunez after this match was able to reach 10 assists so far this season, speaking these numbers of a good work away from the main area of the goal, being this last sample of his game against Fulham a revelation that should be used by the Reds from now on, being his incursion by any of the ends and now its implementation as a revulsive his main weapons with which to face the rest of the campaign.

Without any doubt, this EFL Cup clash against Fulham has been one of the most learning experiences for Jürgen Klopp in recent weeks, discovering through the multiple absentees the true potential of his youth players and those who were lost on the substitutes' bench, with Conor Bradley and Darwin Nunez being the best in these first 90 minutes played at home.

Darwin does not lose his motivation to be a reference point for the team

After failing to be the team's goal scorer and after not being a completely determining factor in the starting lineup, everything seems to indicate that Nunez has been able to understand that his best version comes to the fore when he comes off the bench, and his interventions against the Cottagers were crucial to be in the lead and with one foot in the grand final to be played in February.
