Liverpool could easily have taken three points against Aston Villa on Wednesday evening but had to settle for a draw.
The Reds have been stumbling a little in the Premier League title race, and now sit eight clear of Arsenal who have a game in hand.
In isolation, the point at Villa Park is not a bad one, with Unai Emery’s side one of the best in the Premier League.
However, owing to some big missed chances across the game, Liverpool supporters came away with a feeling of an opportunity squandered.
There were a few contenders, but the worst of these misses quite clearly belonged to Darwin Nunez.

There was no place to hide for Nunez against Villa.
The 25-year-old simply had to score.
Of course, there’s no guarantee that Liverpool would have won the game had he put the ball in the net, but they’d have had a brilliant chance to do so.

Amongst the criticism, there was still plenty of sympathy for the No.9.
Jamie O’Hara has come out in defence of Nunez and there was definitely an argument that Dominik Szoboszlai should have had a shot instead of taken on the pass.
Either way, it’s clear what Nunez thinks about it.
Taking to X on Thursday, the Uruguayan sent a defiant message.

“I wasn’t the best three weeks ago, and I’m not the worst now,” says Nunez.
“If I fall, I get up.
I’m going to give it my all until the last day I’m here in Liverpool.
