Liverpool player singled out for 'careless and sloppy' performance in Atalanta defeat

Rousing The Kop

Nicol expressed his frustration with the forward's lack of clinical finishing overnight, which he believed was 'sloppy'.

“Nunez had a chance in the first half and I was annoyed with the way he went about it,” says the pundit. 

"He was trying to just dink it over the goalkeeper, but it looked so nonchalant, careless and sloppy. 

"That really annoyed me the way he tried to do it," finished the former Liverpool defender.

Honestly I am fed up with Darwin cause if he takes his chances we won't be having some very bad results!!!!

David Umar

David 100% hunni. Nunez can't do right for a lot of people. Would I like his finishing to be more clinical sometimes ... yes, of course I would ... but last night was not down to him. The whole team literally forgot that they were professional footballers 🫣🤔🫣

Nickle is talking bull shit it was a coletive team failure not one individual

Tristan Matthews

I saw so I know better than him some guy watches on a TV screen. lTypicaal as soon as goes wrong out cone the knives and pick out one player instead of all of them coletivly we were not good enough

We are all feeling quite annoyed, have to agree that sometimes he takes the wrong option in the way he goes about finishing the chances, & it has cost us a fair bit this season. We support him because he plays for us & tries his best but he needs some advice at the moment to fix things (probably a past great like Suarez could help)

Yes we would have cus our defending has been dog shit. Can't remember the last time we kept a clean sheet.  We have had 3 clean sheets in the last 15 games which is fucking disgusting and even the games when we did have a clean sheet it was because the other team couldn't finish the easy chances they had. Even Sheffield United could and should have been 2-0 up, Plus how many games have we been gone behind and conceding first cus it seems it's happening on a weekly basis now.  Yes Darwin is very frustrating but still young and will get better but without Darwin goals this season we wouldn't have been in a title race. Newcastle away and Forrest away springs to mind and countless others where if he wasn't on the pitch then we would have lost the game. 

All our strikers r very wasteful and need a good hard look at them self's cus they can do better but our main area that is letting us down and will fuck up our season is our defending and that needs to change ASAP 👍

It’s ridiculous to come up with more excuses for Nunez after two years now given his low low results especially for the 80+mil he cost

How bad, and yes we were bad does not detract from the fact Atalanta did a job on us big time they harried and man marked all over the pitch.
I don't personally think they are a great side even with results against Ajax and PSG what I will say is they are very well organised and drilled unit.
We gave them the space and they exploited it sometimes tat space was as wide as the Mersey tunnel,we chased the ball like school kids and when we had it we couldn't hold on to it.

I'm going to say the "C" word....CHANCES how often we hear that after games this season every player on the park in red had a goal scoring chance and could not convert and that is why we lost last night.
Could easily ended 3-3 or more chances where there for both teams.


looking for an excuse 🤔 let's say the 

solar eclipse affected us more than them.😂😂 if it was only that simple we would be OK for next 60 odd years.

Why be critical of 1 player when the  whole team was off.  I’m guessing he didn’t listen to klopp then and even when subs came on we still conceded.  If Nunez had gone for power and blasted it over he would of been accused of not taking time or lack of composure. I admit  I wish he would score more but imagine if he didn’t get into those positions there might be no chance to score

Bang on Mike💥💥💥... great player.... shite paundit

Good morning My Lovely... Nicol a sausage??? lmfao... I personally could think of other things I'd call him.
It was an extremely poor performance all round hunni.
Have a fantastic day Mike xxx 🫶❣️🫶🤗🥰🤗

I watch him on you tube a lot on the the supreme architect youtube channel. He's like an old biddy, he is always being negative about us, even when we play well. He is obnoxious. He needs to get a hobby....i suggest knitting would be a great past time for him. 🤷‍♀️☹️

Mad Mike McFinnegan

I was being generous at mugging him off sue 🤣🤣. He is a crap pundit anyway. His sparring partner Craig Burley is not much better 😡

I havent seen him for a while Mike but with previous screening channels I used to & i took a dislike to his constant negativity towards us...

Lolololol. I just thought u were being polite...🤣😂🤣
He is definitely a crap pundit... there again a lot of the ex Liverpool players are. It's as if they don't want to be seen as being bias towards us, so instead they slate us. Twats... xxx 🫣🤔🙈🙊😵

The punditry game is money for old rope, for ex players. It's an easy ride to critiscize performances of teams & players. Give me a job doing it. Infact give anyone a job doing it, even monkeys 🐒🐒🐒🐒

I know.... we get Jim Beglin over here.... he is almost as bad as Steve Nicol....

All these pundits are outspoken gobshites. Like any of them could do a better job of managing a top team. It's  easy money. They all jump on this gravy train. I wonder why none of them never became managers.....oh one did....nutkin neville....and look at how he faired 🦧🤣🤣🤣

Every time we have a stinker, it is always the same old story. Apportion blame to individuals, rather than the whole team as a collective. Nicol is notoriously over critical of us, at the best of times. None of them were at it last night Mr nicol, you sausage.

well said my friend my feelings completely klopp does it alot trying to be clever

Philip Waterton

true i was allso surprised 🤦🏽‍♂️

Elizabeth Damon

Klopp has to juggle and rest the players when he seems fit to… most of the time he gets it right… so are you being clever by bringing this up… coz you obviously knew what the outcome would be

John Harrison

You don’t think if Nunez would missed that sitter earlier on would’ve changed the outcome?

the starting line up yesterday revealed clearly klopp underestimated Atlanta.Afterall,the coach is to blame for the loss
