Darwin Nunez has been the name on the lips of most Liverpool fans since our 2-2 draw with Aston Villa was confirmed but not for all the right reasons.
After missing a golden chance to put the Reds back in the lead, many criticised our No.9 – including Robbie Fowler – but now he’s hit back.
Taking to his X account, the 25-year-old posted (translated): ‘I wasn’t the best three weeks ago, and I’m not the worst now. If I fall, I get up. You’ll never see me give up.
‘I’m going to give it my all until the last day I’m here in Liverpool. Resilience! 💪🏼’
The image posted alongside this was one after his late goals against Brentford, when the Uruguayan was the hero and the toast of all our fans.
Darwin Nunez is determined to fight back and prove himself
Arne Slot revealed how down our club record signing felt after the match and it seems clear that he has taken the evening to mull it over and come back with a fighting spirit.
That’s exactly what we all want to see as the perfect reaction and let’s hope it leads to improved performances on the pitch and the chance to be a hero in the coming games against Manchester City and Newcastle.
We should protect and back our players when they’re down and then reap the rewards once they start firing again, with this being a testing moment for the former Benfica man.
His Anfield story may come to an end when this season finishes but if Darwin is going to give his all, we should also ensure that us as fans do the same.

This is wrong on so many levels. I mean who exactly is he responding to? Instead of bellyaching, work on your finishing, your composure, finishing with both feet. Leave social media to the trolls and keyboard warriors. Klopp even told him, that he needed to get off social media. Strikes me hasn’t and most likely won’t learn. Sadly he comes across as a player with a very low football IQ
That’s the spirit, Darwin. Don’t worry, we have your back!!
