Liverpool assistant manager Pep Ljinders has praised striker Darwin Nunez.

The Uruguayan forward found himself back in the spotlight after a 0-0 draw against Manchester United.

Nunez missed chances that could have resulted in the Reds claiming all three points.

Speaking to reporters, Ljinders stated: "Darwin is full of desire. If we only judged players on goal, that would be so unfair. It's always the collective

These things happen. There is a good connection between Mo and Darwin, for example. I feel he is having a much better season than last year. The way he defends for the team, chases back, counter press. We can play with him as a reference.

We played with a false nine for a long time but he is learning. I like him a lot and he is full of fire and that is what our stadium likes. If you create a lot, the goals will come naturally. Sometimes, you just have to be a little bit lucky."
