The Battle of Words: Warnock vs. Nunez…
Darwin Nunez is back to rocking the boat at Liverpool, making some fans cheer louder than a toddler with a drum kit. But Stephen Warnock, ex-Red and current critic extraordinaire, isn’t joining the party. His latest slam-dunk of disapproval? Nunez’s tackle against Southampton, which Warnock, with the grace of a mildly annoyed goose, labeled as “cowardly.”
Nunez’s antics haven’t tanked his popularity, though. His recent performances are smoother than Jota’s attempts at stealing the spotlight. With assists and crucial goals against PSG and Southampton, he’s Liverpool’s new action hero. Sure, his challenge might have earned him a yellow card, but Gallagher (the ref, not the watermelon-smashing comedian) admits it was no more intense than a field mouse on sleeping pills.
While Warnock swings his verbal baseball bat with glee on Sky Sports’s “Ref Watch,” most folks see Nunez’s tackle as a classic display of frustration any player would agree with. Nunez and Liverpool fans are tuning Warnock out faster than a cat ignoring a new toy. Go on, Darwin – keep giving them something to talk about as Liverpool readies to wrangle PSG!
