Darwin Nunez is off to a flying start for Liverpool this season and assistant boss Pep Lijnders believes there is more to come
Pep Lijnders believes Darwin Nunez has been transformed at Liverpool by his match-winning brace at Newcastle last month.
The Uruguay international struck twice inside the final 10 minutes to steal the points for Liverpool against all odds and Nunez is now contributing to a goal or an assist every 52 minutes this term. Lijnders says he is delighted for the £64m striker and believes his new-found confidence, gained from that intervention at St James' Park, has been the difference.
"Away at Newcastle, it would change any players' life if you can change a game the way he changed the game. We played there for a long time with 10 men and how he made two goals from nothing. It has given him confidence. The Ireland international had been tipped to leave Anfield in search of regular game-time elsewhere but Lijnders was delighted to see Alisson Becker's deputy stay put, describing him as a "world-class" talent.
"We're just really happy that he is with us because you want each position with two top ones and that's young and old, but top players who can play in any kind of game. And whatever happens, we can put Caoimh in and the game will not change a lot.
