After a 2-2 draw with Aston Villa, Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed concern regarding Darwin Nunez's mental response to his missed goal-scoring opportunity. Despite Nunez's past contributions, such as scoring important goals against Brentford, Slot suggested that the forward let the miss affect his performance negatively. He highlighted the need for Nunez to adopt a more resilient mentality, similar to that of midfielder Wataru Endo, who consistently puts in effort regardless of circumstances. Slot's remarks underscore the team's struggle with missed chances in the title race.
"In the game against Villa, I would prefer him to score, but the word 'chance' says it all - it's a 'chance'. It's not 100% sure that the ball goes in."
"What was a bit harder for me to accept was his behaviour after that chance. I think it got too much in his head and he wasn't the usual Darwin that works his *** off."
