Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp’s ‘natural ability’ hailed by pundit after ‘massive’ Darwin Nunez reveal
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp’s plan for Darwin Nunez will be revealed in the first two weeks of the Premier League season.
That is the view of former Spurs and England number one Paul Robinson, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about how Klopp adopts different approaches with each of his signings.
Nunez has struggled to make an impact in his first two pre-season appearances for the Reds.
Speaking to club media, as quoted by Anfield Watch (9 July), Jurgen Klopp revealed he was “massively impressed” by the striker when Benfica and Liverpool met in the Champions League last season.
The striker moved to Anfield in an £85million deal on 14 June.
Robinson believes Nunez’s role will become clear from Liverpool’s opening Premier League fixtures against Fulham and Crystal Palace.
“You will see very early on what the manager’s plans are for him,” he told Football Insider
“Klopp has got a natural ability of seeing a player’s character and seeing what he is capable of and ready for.
“Some players he gives time to and some players he breaks into the side gently.
“The likes of [Luis] Diaz and [Virgil] an Dijk have come straight into the side. I cannot think of a January signing having more of an impact than Van Dijk. Both of those players looked like they had been at Liverpool for two or three seasons.
“Klopp has the ability to do that. We will see in the first two games of the season as to what Klopp’s plans are for Nunez.”
