Should Liverpool ditch Darwin Nunez? He's loved by fans and can torment opponents on his day, but the struggling forward risks becoming a seismic flop like Paul Pogba

LEWIS STEELE AND PETE JENSON: Will Liverpool fans ever see the real Darwin Nunez on a consistent basis? On his day, he is an unstoppable force who can torment the best defenders in the world. But those days can be few and far between. Rival fans have poked fun at him ever since his arrival in England, while even his own so-called supporters have abused him in recent weeks after a sub-par run of form and several high-profile misses. His last goal came on April 4 and that was after Sheffield United goalkeeper Ivo Grbic went to clear the ball away but struck it straight at Nunez's back-side. It bounced in. His recent scoring rate stands at two in his last 13 games, with him often consigned to a seat on the bench now.
