I can't accept Nunez's work-rate - Slot

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has criticized Darwin Nunez’s recent work-rate, stating he "can't accept" the striker’s effort in his last two games.

Nunez was a substitute in the matches against Wolves and Aston Villa, where he missed an open goal. However, he did not feature in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Manchester City.

Slot defended Nunez after his miss against Villa but was unhappy with his overall effort, saying he expects players to fight for the team regardless of missed chances.

The manager emphasized that fans love Nunez for his hard work and expects him to return to that standard.

Despite his struggles, Slot praised Nunez’s "incredible" performance in training on Monday, suggesting a potential return to form ahead of Liverpool’s game against Newcastle.
