"I'm not at all worried about Darwin Núñez. General opinion is of zero interest to me. That will always be the case. We all know that for many people it's something of a game to point out certain situations where a player is not doing well. I couldn't be more relaxed about it. I am totally convinced of his potential," said the Liverpool manager.

Klopp wanted to send a message to his fans to trust their new striker and not to think about how much his transfer cost: "The fans should know that new players need time. All Liverpool fans should forget how much we paid for his signing.”

Klopp’s responsibility

Furthermore, the German coach does not hide the fact that his job is to bring out all the good in Darwin: "We are doing everything we can to bring out the things we saw from him at Benfica. And he concluded: "It's my responsibility to help Darwin show his full potential".

It is true that the defeat against United by four goals was not Darwin's best game, neither was the rest of the 'Reds' players, but the Uruguayan striker is called to be one of the Anfield team's references this season.
