Ian Wright has suggested that he would never substitute Darwin Nunez for Liverpool because of the threat he offers in behind.
The Liverpool No. 9 has been in fine form since the start of the year and has 12 goal involvements in his last 13 games.
Nunez didn’t find the net in the 1-1 draw with Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday and was taken off for Cody Gakpo after 76 minutes. However, prior to that, he had scored in each of his previous four outings.
Analysing the striker’s impact up top on Sky Sports, Premier League great Wright claimed the ability to keep making runs in behind makes the Uruguayan a threat worth keeping on the pitch.
Wright said: “I’d never take him off, especially at Anfield. I would just tighten him up in those situations. I’d let him watch those videos and say ‘look at this’.
