Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen feels Darwin Nunez still has much to learn, despite his clever goal in victory at Brentford.
Nunez clipped the ball beyond Bees goalkeeper Mark Flekken in the 4-1 win.
And Owen posted on X: That finish from Darwin Nunez yesterday was insane. I can't stop watching it. And I can't begin to explain how difficult a skill that is.
Moving at pace, the ball running away from you, being inside the box with no room for error. Incredible.
BUT, it is also further proof that if he is to get closer to becoming the great player many people think he can be, he has to adapt his way of thinking. I mean, to even consider that finish is madness.
It's a 1 in 10, 2 in 10 finish at best. Learning to slot, dink or go round the GK is a far more productive way to score and will increase his chances to 4 or 5 in 10, thus massively increasing his end return.
I'm really not trying to rain on his parade as that goal was pure class. But I'd rather see it when Liverpool are 3-0 up, not at 0-0."
