Tony Cascarino has suggested that Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is “not ready” to play for Jurgen Klopp’s side at the moment.
Nunez signed for Liverpool during the summer transfer window, with Jurgen Klopp looking for a long-term solution to his attack.
Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino were instrumental in Liverpool’s brief spell of success in both Europe and the Premier League, but eventually, Liverpool will have to find a way to play without the attacking trio.
Mane has now moved on and Firmino is in the final year of his contract, but the pundit Cascarino has suggested that Nunez is not the answer for Liverpool at the moment.
“He is not ready enough to be in the Liverpool team,” Cascarino told talkSPORT.

Liverpool are going through an extremely difficult time at the moment and have lost their last two games against Leeds and Nottingham Forest, two teams in the bottom half of the Premier League.
Nunez has struggled on occasion for Liverpool, but the Uruguayan is still young and certainly has a bright future ahead of him.
“I’m not saying he doesn’t have a future at Liverpool, he does. I just think there are certain players in the Liverpool team, and senior professionals, who are not playing well,” Cascarino added.
Nunez is not the only reason Liverpool are struggling, as it is difficult to look at their current squad and suggest that any of their players are playing at the level they have previously shown.
