Darwin Nunez is not quite the same as the Merseyside resident he has replaced. In the recent summer, Liverpool permitted Senegalese forwards Sadio Mané to leave Anfield after six years, and he now plays for Bayern Munich, He had been a genuine threat for the Reds since at least 2016, taking up a wide position and routinely drifting inside to score. 

He had scored 90 Premier League goals for Liverpool by the time he relocated to the Bundesliga from England, Although Nez doesn't exactly suit Mané's mould, he has been named as the substitute, Although they are both swift, strong, focused on their goals, and determined, they sustain different tactical profiles.

Nunez is a somewhat unique player in that regard; despite sharing many of the same admirable traits as players like Mané, Mohamed Salah, and Diogo Jota, he just comes off as different on the pitch.
Nez has so far performed at a fairly good level as a wide forwards under Jürgen Klopp, outscoring many of his colleagues 

While playing an unusual position on the flanks rather than through the middle, because Luis Daz sustained an injury in October that kept him out of action until just recently, he has been used on the wing like Mané during the past few months out of necessity, Earlier this month, the Colombian returned to Liverpool training but encountered a difficult setback.

It is acceptable to assert

His position on the left side of Klopp's attack has been vacant since October, and it appears like it will remain so until March, Nunez will likely be fielded on the flanks to fill in for him, while Roberto Firmino will probably be used through the center, It is acceptable to assert that Erling Haaland of Manchester City is the player who most closely resembles the Uruguayan given what the latter delivers, due to their height, the pair is imposing, but they are also both swift enough to pose a threat from behind defenses.
