Klopp backs under-fire Darwin Nunez despite goal drought and missed chances

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has firmly backed striker Darwin Nunez despite the Uruguayan’s struggles in front of goal this season. 

The 24-year-old has only netted 11 goals in 34 Premier League appearances this term while missing 27 big chances, with only Erling Haaland missing more.

Nunez’s conversion rate sits at an appalling 10%, with the former Benfica man coming under criticism in recent weeks. He has failed to find the back of the net in Liverpool’s past seven games in all competitions.
