Yorke Yanks Nunez into Flop FlambĂ© …
In the world of football roasting, Dwight Yorke just turned up the heat, labeling Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez as his grade-A “flop of the season.” The Uruguayan has been kicking about the pitch with a mixed bag of tricks, scoring six goals and assisting as many in 37 appearances – certainly not a recipe for goal-seeker success. Critics have been splitting hairs over Nunez’s strike rate more than they argue over ketchup on chips.
Dwight “The Knife” Yorke showed no sign of mustard running from his judgment as he declared Darwin a disappointment over at casinobeats.com. “I was expecting the apple of the Premier League pie to be Nunez,” said Yorke, who sounded surprisingly calm for a man who watches footballers for a living. He reckons Liverpool and their boss, Arne Slot, are guilty of not playing to Nunez’s strengths – sort of like asking a cat to guard a flurry of mice.
Despite Yorke’s frying, Liverpool boss Arne Slot was rather chipper, appreciating Nunez’s cameo against PSG midweek where he assisted Harvey Elliott’s last-minute zinger, adding a bit more spice to the match. It seems Nunez may still have a role to play in Liverpool’s great soap opera – if only he could crack the code and set those stats sizzling!
