Liverpool hero Aldridge: Why Nunez so similar to Suarez

Liverpool hero John Aldridge admits he's a fan of Darwin Nunez.

Aldridge was impressed by Nunez for victory over Burnley on Saturday.

He wrote for the Liverpool Echo: "You always want your best players fit, of course, and I hope Saturday at Brentford is pencilled in for Mo's (Salah) return but I can't fault the lads up top in his absence.

"I thought (Luis) Diaz's header was the pick of the bunch but it was Nunez, who was excellent again, who most caught the eye, The way the crowd sings his name all game speaks for itself.

"He is a bag of tricks and is very much like Luis Suarez at times in the way he refuses to ever give up. He is fearless, puts in a real shift and throws his head in where it hurts, as evidenced by the goal. He was a real handful all day for Burnley.

"OK, he might lack composure at times but let me tell you something, you'd rather have him in your team than against you. He will be vital against Brentford on Saturday, no doubt."
