Arne Slot has admitted Liverpool have struggled to utilise Darwin Núñez’s strengths this season because of problems they encounter against deep-lying defences.

The Uruguay international, Liverpool’s record signing at £85m, has scored four goals and started only 14 of Slot’s 31 matches.

“If you look back at the goals he scored for us, I remember the one against [Aston] Villa when he went around the goalkeeper on a fast break, that is his main strength – he has other qualities as well – but we are still working on getting him in the best possible positions against a low block.

I see it, referees unfortunately don’t.

“For us, in general, it’s more difficult to score against a team like Forest because every time we had a chance they had six, seven, eight, nine or 10 players standing in the 18-yard box.

Darwin will score his goals.

He already did and he will again.”

A collection of Liverpool supporter groups, meanwhile, have urged the club not to “kill the Kop” by alienating fans through rising ticket prices.

Liverpool are to meet fans on Monday to discuss next season’s ticket prices having been criticised for a lack of consultation over last year’s 2% increase.
