Liverpool tied Aston Villa 2-2 in the 29th round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL) at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, at 4:30 a.m. on the 20th (Korea time). Liverpool is on the verge of narrowing the gap with second-place Arsenal due to the draw.
The act of blaming a team's results on a specific player may actually be unfair in soccer, a team sport. However, if a player's repeated mistakes continue, fans will eventually have no choice but to hate him. That's Núñez in Liverpool.
Liverpool led with Mohamed Salah's score in the 29th minute of the first half, but eight minutes later, they allowed Yuri Tillemance to equalize. Just before the end of the first half, Ollie Watkins even allowed a come-from-behind goal, falling into a crisis. Liverpool did not collapse easily. In the 15th minute of the second half, Trent Alexander Arnold scored in a counterattack, and the game was back to square one.
It was Liverpool, which was starting to get in the mood, and there was a decisive opportunity to take the lead again. In the 24th minute of the second half, Liverpool created a decisive scoring opportunity with a quick conversion. Conor Bradley poked a perfect pass to Dominic Sobosler. Sobosler saw the goalkeeper come out of a one-on-one opportunity and pushed it to Núñez, who penetrated from the side.

Núñez's performance continued to be disappointing. In the 29th minute of the second half, Núñez also intercepted the ball from Villa's defense with sincere pressure. The blusher was so long that Emiliano Martinez ran out and hit it out in what could be a perfect one-on-one opportunity.

Núñez has been extremely sluggish this season. He had 18 goals and 13 assists in 54 games last season, so he would have been loved by fans if he upped his record further this season. However, he has only scored six goals and five assists in 35 games this season. It is a serious slump that is not like a player brought in by Liverpool's highest transfer fee ever.
In this winter's transfer window, Liverpool decided to trust Núñez once more and turned down the offer even though Al-Nasr wanted her, and Liverpool may already be regretting that decision.
