Darwin Nunez credits Marcelo Bielsa

Nunez was again named on the bench for the third successive match this season. But he has certainly given Jurgen Klopp food for thought with his performance as a second-half substitute.

The 24-year-old came on in the 77th minute and equalised just four minutes later. The turnaround was complete in the third minute of stoppage time with another expert finish as Liverpool held out for a famous win.

But Nunez has now revealed how recent conversations with his new international boss have helped. Bielsa was appointed Uruguay manager in May, 15 months after being sacked by Leeds.

Nunez says the experienced boss has given him advice on aspects of his game that need improving. He told Sport 890: "Bielsa showed me some things that seem positive to improve. I hope to meet him next week and do my best for the team."

He added: "Some things he thinks are better. Like, when the opposing team is behind, not to run in front of the second centre-back: to run behind so that he loses the mark. It was a very good chat with him. It's a new stage with the national team and I hope it goes well."

Nunez admits he has been frustrated by his lack of game time at Liverpool. However, he believes he has channelled his anger in the right way.

Arsenal: William Saliba already two step ahead of Mavropanos

Everyone can’t wait to see what William Saliba can be at Arsenal and, on the bright side, he’s already ahead of Konstantinos Mavropanos. Arsenal ‘s defense is going to look so damn good next season it’s gonna be mental. I know I gush about it a lot, but Mikel Arteta has worked literal magic in turning David Luiz and Shkodran Mustafi into a defense that doesn’t give up a crapton of goals per match. In fact, they give up less than a goal a game. Combined. Two of the biggest defensive “clowns” out there. United in sturdiness. Next season, we’ll be starting with fresh faces and the same defensive philosophy that Arteta has already used to rejuvenate a dead defense. Namely, William Saliba, who has joined the club from Saint-Etienne and is looking to get his footing in the starting XI. Saliba can be what Arsenal wanted Mavropanos to be Saliba isn’t the first young defender ticketed for big things, however. It was just a few years back that Konstantinos Mavropanos made ...

News: Declan Rice to Arsenal

@gunnerblog on Rice: “It’s no longer between Edu & Karren Brady, it’s now a conversation between accountants effectively, people who are trying to make the numbers stack up for both sides, so this enormous transaction can take place. It is complex, but there is no reason to panic. If anything, the people involved in making this deal are a little bit more relaxed now because everyone is on the same page.” [YouTube] “West Ham can use the guarantee of future money from Arsenal to borrow against, to improve their cash flow in the short-term, but with interest rates high, that may not be favourable for them to do. Arsenal, meanwhile, they’re in a position where they can borrow direct from someone very close to them - they have borrowed, up until this point, quite a substantial amount of money, into the hundreds of millions, from KSE - effectively Stan Kroenke & his business.” “They can continue to do that & I suspect in order to get a deal the size of Dec...
