Liverpool’s title chase experienced a lot of harrowing shocks and disappointments. Within April, they suffered several detrimental losses of points consecutively. So far their chances of winning the league are heavily dependent on a miracle.
Amidst the Liverpool fanbase, some players have been scapegoated due to the poor April performance. The majority of the blame has spanned around the club’s point men and forwards. From Salah, Nunez, Diaz, down to Gapko.
However, Darwin Nunez has been taking all the heat lately, despite his 18 goals and 13 assists this season.
Although Liverpool has had a lot of crucial games that depended on Nunez being clinical. Moreover, he didn’t score. This has even caused a lot of speculation over his future.
Lately, the Uruguayan striker has made a shocking move over his Instagram page. He deleted all his posts and great moments relating to Liverpool.

The Liverpool striker has made a shocking bold move. He decided to clear all his Liverpool-based posts on Instagram. His reasons for such have so far been unknown. But rumor has it that the Uruguayan striker had been receiving threats and curses from the Liverpool fans.
Others speculated that it might be about the uncertainty of his future in the club. There has been another rumor that the club might be looking for another striker.
However, a major factor to look out for is, his move must have been made to clear the noise over his head.
The Uruguayan has had a pretty decent season. His performances have been interesting. So far before April his presence in the team has enhanced Liverpool’s goal-scoring prowess.
Although he has managed to score 11 league goals and provided eight assists. Moreover, his presence brings a lot of possibilities to the team. But somehow he fell off during the April crisis. This has made the Liverpool fanbase scapegoat him.
Darwin Nunez Impact Before April Meltdown

Nunez started the season as a sub. His impact was quickly felt after he helped the club salvage a late winner. He scored two goals to give Liverpool 3 points against a difficult Newcastle side.
After the performance, he resumed back into the starting lineup in most games. However, he started facing the demon of ill luck. Nunez was a threat to the opponent’s defense. But when he is in the face of the goal, he most times hits his shot at the bar instead of the goal. Nonetheless, he also had some poor misses.
As his season continued he found his feet more in creating chances. This allowed him to help more clinical players like Salah and Jota.
In all the struggles, he was able to still score phenomenal goals for the club. Alongside this were also his crucial late-minute winners for the club. But April came and everything turned against him.

Darwin Nunez’s performance in April

Nunez’s poor performance started when he missed some clear-cut chances against Atalanta. Liverpool saw a lot of early chances to get hold of the game, but they squandered it. When it was time for Atalanta to see theirs, they took and punished the Reds horribly.
It continued in their loss against Crystal Palace, and Everton. Nunez also saw ample chances to give Liverpool a chance in the game. Somehow he failed to convert.
This has put the Uruguayan in a position to be scapegoated concerning their title race slip-up. Nevertheless, in the true sense, the whole team was generally poor. And also lacked a bit of luck.
More tasks ahead for them
Despite their titles hopes are being heavily incapacitated. Liverpool will still be looking to improve and show off a strong display in their remaining 2 games.
They did well by overcoming Tottenham Hotspur in a 4-2. However, they still have Aston Villa at the Villa Park next and Wolves on the last day.
They’ll be secretly praying for a miracle and hope they win their games too.
