Darwin Núñez is much better than Erling Haaland and here's why

The restructuring of Liverpool FC's attack after the departure of Sadio Mané (Bayern Munich), Divock Origi (AC Milan) and even Takumi Minamino (AS Monaco), opened the window for the summer arrival at Anfield of players who rejuvenated the team such as Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez, the latter being the one who has received the most criticism for his constant comparisons with Norwegian Erling Haaland.

The 23-year-old Uruguayan striker arrived on Merseyside as the most expensive signing in the history of the Red's; 75 million plus 25 million in variables and six seasons will unite the Uruguayan Peñarol youth player with the British Isle giants. And let's not forget how he introduced himself, scoring the last goal in Liverpool's victory over Manchester City in the FA Community Shield final, which meant the first official title of the season.

From that game at Wembley Stadium, the forced comparison began with his positional partner, the youthful Erling Haaland, who at 22 years of age leads the Premier League scoring charts with 17 goals, 14 goals ahead of Darwin, who has missed three consecutive league games due to suspension. Since then, the striker has been getting more and more minutes in Klopp's squad.

These criticisms and comparisons led Andy Robertson to speak out in favour of Nunez. "The only reason they are getting compared is because they play the same position and they moved in the same window. Really it's not fair on anyone," said Robbo, who also highlighted the language issue that has been a determining factor in the relationship between the South American and the German manager.

The comparison is unfair

In addition, the Scottish defender spoke for the rest of the squad, saying that they are very happy to have a player of Nunez's quality at Anfield. "Really it's not fair on anyone - if it was vice versa, it wouldn't be fair on Haaland either. It's two incredible players. We're delighted to have Darwin here. He's obviously still young which everyone forgets. He's still adapting, but he's getting there," Andrew said.
