“Bro misses way too many chances”— Fans DRAG Erling Haaland in conversation with Darwin Nunez as Liverpool star has ‘better’ stats than him

No striker in Europe can rival Erling Haaland when it comes to goal-scoring prowess, except maybe Darwin Nunez! Yes, Liverpool’s Uruguayan striker boasts ‘better’ stats than his Norwegian rival when it comes to hitting the target. A surprising statistic posted on social media shows that Nunez has a far better record when it comes to ‘big chances missed’.

Erling Haaland had a night to forget against Chelsea on Saturday. The #9 failed to find the net from seven attempts, resulting in him having the lowest rating of all players in the starting line-up. The player also missed 3 big chances, while also failing to hit the target from five different attempts. His uncharacteristically poor showing forced rival fans to bring up the comparison, which paints Haaland in ‘not so generous’ light.

While Nunez has missed 28 big chances, Haaland has failed to convert on 35 occasions. That being said, a statistic that the #9 is near unparalleled is in terms of bagging goals.

His ability to convert chances is just as good as his inability to convert them. His 21 goals and 6 assists in 25 games speaks for itself when it comes to being one of the best #9’s in football.

Fans react to Darwin Nunez having better stats than ‘the best striker in the league’

Darwin Nunez was mercilessly trolled when Liverpool fans compared him to the Norwegian striker last season. The tables have turned this time around as Haaland surpassed his competitor in terms of big chances missed. Rival fans did not let the opportunity slip as football Twitter made Erling Haaland their next target. A fan simply announced that the stat proves Nunez is better than Haaland.

The Man City striker was ‘poor’ according to his high standards against Chelsea and failed to hit the target. Many even blamed him for Man City dropping points and not climbing to the top of the table. A fan summed up both players’ games, saying Nunez scored a banger while Haaland failed to convert a tap-in. Some fans remained unconvinced of the comparison, stating how the best players are bound to have the highest number of chances missed.

A simple conversion of both the strikers’ goals proved a Manchester City fan’s point. Nunez has 9 goals in the Premier League in comparison to Haaland’s 16 and what adds to the stat is that the former has played 5 more games. Nunez scored his 9th against Brentford in a 4-1 demolition of Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium. Liverpool are top of the table while City fell down a spot to third.
