Darwin Nunez is a bizarre and chaotic player, though with proper coaching, he could become a very good player. I could understand why Liverpool splash in chunks of cash to get him, that is to add a dynamism to their game due to the way he plays, a tireless combative forward with great pace and strength. He's a bit uncultured type of forward, missed tons of chances due to erratic shooting accuracy. That's why a proper coaching is crucial to his development, he could become either a total flop or a truly devastating and dangerous player.
Now for the stats, his attacking instinct is great especially for his age, 85 seems to be a fair value for him, he constantly get into dangerous positions, the problem is he's so often miss control the pass or taking wrong decision. Again with proper coaching this aspect could be boosted by a couple of points or even further which is scary. Technically he's like average at best, could even gave him whites in dribbling, passing, and shooting, but his dribbling is not as bad as other aspects, because I've seen him showing accurate ball carrying ability but again, nothing really special.
The special aspect about him is obviously his physicality, like 2nd only behind Haaland for U-23 players. He's a complete package physically, great strength, energy, stamina, and speed, a real threat for any defenders. Though on paper he looks like a proper No. 9, he's at his best when attacking through counter attacks and transition. Somehow he's not efficient enough when deployed as a sole No.9 or a lone striker. He tends to play better in a 2 striker system that gives him a bit of freedom to move from left side of the pitch to a more central position. His raw talent is easy to notice by everyone, yet to reach his true potential he has to work a lot on the training ground.
