On Monday night, as Uruguay fell 2-0 to a Bruno Fernandes-inspired Portugal, Nunez appeared as languid and disoriented as his 35-year-old strike partner Edinson Cavani; numerous promising attacks collapsing after yet another trampoline touch from a player who, on this evidence, would be hard-pressed to trap a proverbial sandbag.

“He has had two terrible games, really terrible games,” sighs Brady, a 1979 FA Cup winner with Arsenal, via the Scottish Sun.
“I watched him play for Liverpool. He looks like a lad that’s shot of confidence. I don’t know whether (Manchester City’s Erling) Haaland having the season he’s having has put so much pressure on the lad.
“He cost an awful lot of money. He looks like he can’t control the ball. You’ve got to be able to get the ball under control but it is coming off him. He’s been very poor.”JAMB portal
Nunez, in his defense, improved by leaps and bounds during his final few weeks at Liverpool before the World Cup break, with a flurry of goals and much-better performances from Jurgen Klopp’s £64 million star buy.
And, don’t forget, Nunez was playing in Spain’s second division just two years ago. Yes, he still has a long way to go. Rougher edges than a rusted chainshaw.JAMB Result
Nunez, though, still has a lot of time on his side at the age of 23 and in his debut season at the highest level. If the Qatar World Cup arrived too late for Cavani and Luis Suarez, it may have arrived too soon for Nunez.
