To play devil’s advocate, Carroll was also unstoppable in one game against us…

Yeah, just checked out his highlights against us to check if I was misremembering, and no, he was an absolute pest, and completely rattled all our defenders over the two legs. He seemed to have Konate panicking in a way nobody else did all season. Most of his work comes from the flanks rather than through the middle, and the comparisons with people like Carroll and Benteke are frankly risible. His ability to get the shot away is really excellent, and he should really have had a peno against us, and might have bagged more than the two he got. The way he took those goals that were called for offside just looks predatory.
Did he ever look like he had the range of attributes of Nunez? It isn't about just having a good game against us, but what is it that the player has in the locker? Carroll, we knew, was there to be on the end of balls into the box, and mainly aerially, pretty much. Nunez appears to be a totally different kind of player, a complete modern forward, operating from both flanks, and scoring a wide variety of goals. There is absolutely no comparison to be made other than they both had good games against us.
FFS
Yeah… but he might be on a flight from Uruguay… if @Red rose has that covered… then thoughts and prayers and who’s that guy at RB that might be good?
So he was. But in a completely different style / manner and displaying completely different attributes.
Watch the first minute of that YouTube goal compilation and take a look at the second goal. Then find, in Andy Carroll’s whole career, a similar goal.
Imagine a predator horse with a mouth full of sharp teeth. The stuff of nightmares!
explains paedo horse I suppose…
I was gonna say Zlatan too but the only stereotype he fits is his height.
Zlatan is a lot more of a baller plus he’s got bags of swag.
Im toying with the idea of a raw Torres instead. He’s got shades of Torres in the way he runs on the shoulders of the defense. Like Torres’ debut goal against Chelsea.
Lmao
Ok I went and watched his goals reel. He's nothing like Carroll. Both feet, good with the ball in tight areas under pressure. Still not a typical klopp signing, but I suppose you could get really broad with what klopp wants and boil it down to is he really fucking fast and can he score loads of goals? Seems the answer is yes.
He can carry the ball and is direct , something really only Diaz did last season, with mane and Salah often being too high up the pitch or central to do so.
Any side losing Mane should be weakened , he's world class , I'm not entirely convinced we will be weakened overall , which is a bit of a mad concept

Is that where he's from?
No. It’s because he’s tall, big and has long hair. We haven’t had those for awhile now. Also it’s clear that many have barely just come out of recovery from the trauma of pre-Klopp years, so you can empathise with those who have been triggered by someone like Nunez.
The name. And the long hair. Brings back lots of traumatic memories for some.

That picture was when Uruguay played the USA in Arizona.
Lazar never scored 34 goals
I agree. But the stupidest thing about it is that if Carroll had had pace and a good attitude, he'd have been a brilliant striker anyway.
I was sceptical about Nunez before we played them, but I just thought he was brilliant, and I've wanted him ever since. He was a constant problem for our defence with his presence and pace in behind, and looked like a brilliant finisher.
No player is perfect, really. Mane always had a shit touch himself. So did someone like Drogba. But when you've got a powerful target man of a striker, who's also fast, and scores loads of goals, and is only 22, then you're definitely looking at an unusually well-rounded player. A bit of a poor touch is the least you might expect as a trade off for all those qualities.
Yeh it’s from May..
Someone else getting excited on twitter ..LOL
Easy – the most impressive characteristic that Darwin has is his speed and his physicality.
Couple that with his resilience and a never-quit attitude and you have a player with an extremely high work rate.
He will give his all for his team – which should work well with Klopp’s ethos.
