Liverpool boss reveals reasons for not using Nunez in Brighton win

  • Arne Slot reveals he wants to rest Darwin Nunez
  • Coach Ran has adjusted tactics to use Curtis Jones and Dominik Soboszlai as forwards.
  • The “Reds” have a tough schedule ahead of them.

Arne Slot, the new coach of Liverpool, a giant club in the English Premier League.

Revealed that the reason for not sending the center forward, Darwin Nunez, to the field in the Carabao Cup game, which they won 3-2 at Brighton ยูฟ่าเบท https://ufabet999.app last Wednesday, was because they wanted to rest the players and other players could replace them with different tactics. 

“If you play two central midfielders up front without a No 9, you can be a little bit worried because it’s about making runs in between the lines and those two Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai  like to play in central midfield as well. They like to link up there and form a triangle,” the 46-year-old Dutch coach said.

“But I think what they do really well is try to combine being a central midfielder and an attacking player at the same time, but also making runs and defending deep, which gives Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo space and being a threat on the wings.”

“Generally I like what I saw in the game today. I like to use a number nine but if they are not ready I will not take the risk. And of course in the next games we have Darwin who is ready to play but I don’t think it is good for him to start today after playing three games in a row and we have to look at the upcoming fixtures.”

For the next game, Liverpool will play in the league by opening their home at Anfield to welcome Brighton on November 2 at 10:00 p.m.
