Arne Slot believes that Darwin Nunez allowed his bright beauty to influence him at 2-2 with Aston Villa and said that his team was “lost a lot of opportunities” this season.
The RDS team failed to seize this opportunity to expand its progress in the Premier League to 10 points in the lottery at Villa Park, but it could have been completely different if Uruguay had seized a golden opportunity shortly after his arrival in Dugo Jota in the second half.
After Dominic Szobozlai fueled it with a lot of goal, Nunez was unable to keep his shot when Liverpool dropped more points in the title race.

But instead of criticizing the 25 -year -old for that opportunity, the hole was more interested in the negative impact that the attacker allowed on the rest of his alternative.
Before the decisive match on Sunday against Manchester City, Liverpool coach said: “I can accept every Miss, especially from a player who scored two very important goals against Brentard.
“In the match against Villa, I prefer to score, but the word” opportunity “says everything – it’s a chance. It is not 100 % certain that the ball enters.
But what was more difficult for me to accept it was his behavior after this opportunity. And through “behavior”, I mean, I think he got a lot in his head and Darwin was not the usual that works on *** and makes sure that he helps the team.
“I think he was very disappointed after he lost this opportunity.”
The opening: Be more like Endo
The hole referred to the position of midfielder Wattaro Endo, where Nunez should somewhere to try to simulate the foregoing.
“I always think it is better to have a watru Endo,” the Dutch director added. “What I mean is for the entire season that only continues, and continues to continue, and whenever we need it, it is ready.
“This is difficult because there are not many players who can do this. So it is not a chance for me, this is more than 20 minutes after that I want to talk to him more than he lost a chance.”
The opening: “We have missed a lot of opportunities”
Arsenal plays earlier on Saturday against West Ham and strengthens pressure by bridging the gap to five points before Liverpool’s flight to Al Ittihad.
“Unfortunately, many times this season, we missed opportunities. What I mean by this is that I do not think we stole many points. I always return to Chelsea when the tie may be a more just result.
“But for every other game, I think we got what we deserve, or we deserve more – this is more for me than Arsenal on Saturday and we are Sunday.”
On Sunday night, the city of opponents was working on Wednesday night as a 3-1 defeat on Real Madrid, where they left the Champions League with a total loss of 6-3.
This was the latest poor results in a disappointing season for City, who is lying 17 points behind Liverpool in fourth place in the Premier League, but the opening knows that his team will remain in a major challenge in the Federation.
The 46 -year -old added: “What I always expect from the city since Pep [Guardiola] Is there a great soccer team that can play well. They may have had one or two months since the seven or eight years that were now there, and perhaps it was not the best – partially due to injuries as well.
“They have fallen three or four players and I can see them already returning if I look at the result against Newcastle. What you expect is what everyone expects if you go to the union if you are playing against the city.
“You also have to suffer and work hard to keep them away from your goal because it is very good in its possession. But they face a strong team that has not lost in 22 games now.”

Team News: Jaco was evaluated before City, Bradley and Gomez outside
“We will see” when he was asked about the physical fitness of Cody Jacob after the Dutch striker missed last Sunday to wolves and a draw in Villa, adding that he would be a “close invitation”, whether he will participate in the federation.
Liverpool coach also said that he is not expected to make the right -back Connor Bradley to make the city or mid -week game with Newcastle.
His colleague Joe Gomez has just performed surgery in the knee strings, but the hole does not rule out the possibility of returning the English man before the end of the season.
