Darwin Nunez posts almost identical scoring stats to Mane and Suarez after 23 games -- what it means

Transfermarkt

 games. After arriving for big money last summer, 

, but Nunez has missed more chances (15 in the league alone) than he's managed to convert. 

Nevertheless, Nunez isn't doing too badly compared to 

 after their first 23 games. These are two strikers considered iconic at Liverpool for their goalscoring. But both Mane and Suarez managed just nine goals in their first 23 Liverpool games. 

This stat shows that Nunez will eventually come good at Liverpool with time if he stays fit and keeps getting those chances. 

Suarez ended his Liverpool career with 89 goals in just 133 games while Mane tallied 120 goals in 269 games spanning six years. Nunez can certainly do better. 

'It is a combination of a few things': Liverpool fans say if there's anything wrong with Darwin Nunez

's struggles in front of the goal have become one of the main topics at 

 website, Nunez has missed 15 big chances, more than any other player in the league. As for the goals, the Uruguayan only has five of them to his name.

So, when we asked you what could be wrong with the Reds' summer signings, there was no shortage of strong takes. Here are some of them.

liverpoolfan1612940948858365594: "Trying too hard. He needs to be more relaxed and confident in his ability. I'm sure he will come good. He is a menace to defenders. Keep it up."

Nenebi: "He's too much in a hurry to score.. With his pace and dash runs he can be a good finisher if he calms down in front of goal."

David Gerrard: "I'll just repeat - he's too nervous. His psychology is wrong. He's a good player for a bench, but not for the start!"

Welsh Red: "It is a combination of a few things. He's not getting the service from wide players as he should. 

 is a goal scorer, and his eye is also on goal, which will limit the service from the right. 

 are injured, so that limits the service from the left. For the majority of Nunez's chances, he has had to do a lot of leg work. He doesn't get tap-ins like some forwards I could mention. He is also trying a bit too hard. If he sets himself before taking the shot, his numbers will increase. I do believe that when his link up with Salah improves, and with 

, or Diaz and Jota on the left, providing him with good service, goals will come. To be honest, his goal tally isn't that bad."

Absalom Ndlovu: "There is nothing wrong with Nunez in my opinion. There is something wrong with the team. No mobility and creativity in the midfield. He hardly gets clean balls. Once the team starts playing well, the goals will come. That’s how I see it."

Kahuju William: "Nothing wrong with Darwin, he's just having self pressure. He's a good lad and once he learns that goals are not the only contribution to the team but rather helping the team win he will deliver. Goals droughts are normal and once they end people will be praising him here."

noel gill: "Too many stupid questions asked about him! Will come good no doubt, just have to live the tough times with him for now, next season I predict 40+ goals"

'All the indications are clear': Romano reveals what Liverpool feel about Nunez struggles

 and fully support him despite his struggles in front of goals, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

"It’s not been the easiest start at Liverpool for Darwin Nunez, but all the indications I get from both Liverpool and the player’s side are clear: they are convinced it’s just a matter of time,” Romano wrote in his column for CaughtOffside.

 is supporting him. No one has doubts into the club or on player side. I think they will keep protecting Nunez."

Nunez has already scored nine goals in 22 games for Liverpool since joining the Reds last summer. However, his goals have not made as many headlines as his misses, with rival fans making him a figure of ridicule.

Still, his record is not bad at all, and his value to the team is not limited to goals anyway. So, there's no reason to believe that Liverpool are giving up on the Uruguayan any time soon.

Im telling you now, once we sort 2 quality midfielder players (another quality CB would be great), you will see how much more Nunez will do. With these new additions it will stop us having to worry about other teams as much and give the likes of Salah and Nunez far more freedom in their own game.

Tyrone1972

Yes, he has the potential. I hope he starts taking those chances sooner than later. The better for us.

Clement Prince

need someone like Doak on right to supply him as Salah can't, it's time for young players to be bedded  in Salah been a great servant but time to make a profit on him to get good midfielder in £400 thau a week not seen much far all that wage this season

Phillip Zeise

I love watching Nunez he is lightning quick exciting and when he gets the ball  he is dynamic it is frustrating when he misses chances but i think he will become a great goalscorer and one of the greats .
