'Not at the required level, never has been': Jose Enrique slams Liverpool duo

Former Liverpool player Jose Enrique has slammed Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo for their inability to finish chances better.

"Darwin Nunez is simply not at the required level and he never has been,” said Enrique.

“He is a good player, I like him a lot and the fans love him, but he isn’t at the level of some of Liverpool’s best forwards from the past. He is a good player but he is not a Liverpool number nine.”

“He could play for a lot of top teams in Europe, but he is not good enough for those that are challenging for trophies. Their old front three was one of the world’s best and now this current team only really has two goalscorers – Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota.”

“Cody Gakpo is not a goalscorer and he won’t get you 20 goals every season like Sadio Mane and Salah did. Roberto Firmino wasn’t a player to score that many goals, but he gave you so much more outside of that. Darwin Nunez gets a lot of chances but misses them too frequently.”
