New footage shows how Darwin Nunez came to lose his head and headbutt Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen.

I saw Andersen on the floor and Darwin walking away. Andersen wanted that, he got it but he (Núñez) made a mistake. Then I saw it – yes it is a red card. Of course I will talk about it with Darwin but not yet.” On the other hand Anderson has played a blinder. Steep learning curve for the young lad.

Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal Palace on Monday Night Football at Anfield; Darwin Nunez was sent off for a headbutt on Joachim Andersen; ...

"Sometimes you need a moment of brilliance and when you have players like Luis on the pitch, he can create something out of nothing. The rest of the lads in that dressing room will pick him up as it's a good dressing room." The issue wasn't tonight, the problem is how long it will be until he is back in the team as he'll likely only be on the bench after the suspension to get up to speed so it could be five or six weeks until we see him back in the Liverpool starting XI." "I will talk to him, it makes no sense when I talk too much about it in public. We have to get around him and rally. Wilfried Zaha's first-half goal had given Palace the lead against the run of play and when Nunez reacted foolishly to a push from Joachim Andersen.

“It’s something we need and he provided that bit of special action and he can be so much better. That’s something we have to learn from, keep going, but we want to win and we’ll look for that in the next game. But that’s the outside world and we concentrate on what we can influence and that’s our performance. Liverpool have failed to win their opening two matches of a Premier League campaign for the first time since 2012-13 and already trail Manchester City by four points. “He has to control himself, definitely,” said the Liverpool defender. “Obviously he was disappointed and also probably with himself.

Nunez's home debut was marred by a red card following a headbutt to Palace defender Joachim Anderson. Darwin Nunez was sent off after headbutting Crystal Palace ...

'He's going to be a great player, we saw that last week. 'There's a sense of frustration,' Higginbotham added on Liverpool's start to the season. 'All of a sudden he goes off the pitch, Liverpool go back to what Liverpool were previously and how we've seen them over the last few seasons. 'The game turned on its head after that and Liverpool looked the most likely and if you go back during the game, it's as though Liverpool were trying too hard to play to Nunez's strengths,' he said. Nunez missed a glorious chance to equalize with his scuffed strike hitting the post on the cusp of half-time. 'He's been what I call old pro'ed, an old pro has been talking to him, prodding and pushing him and he's reacted in a way that the old pro wanted him to do.

Jürgen Klopp said: 'There was provocation but it was the wrong reaction,' and the Liverpool manager will lose the forward for three games.

It was like we had a witch in the building, honestly. But it was the best possible reaction, a wonderful goal, and from that moment it was a special game. “It will be two weeks … more, I think [for Matip]. We will see,” said Klopp. “The week was crazy. “It is not common with 10 against 11 that you put a team under as much pressure as we did. Of course I will talk about it with Darwin but not yet.” That was us at home with a special atmosphere, unfortunately without a goal.

Darwin Núñez getting into the whole pub-car-park-infused carry-on (The Guardian)

Virgil van Dijk has promised to “always back” his teammate, with the caveat that “he knows it should not happen again and hopefully it will be that way”, while ...

While we don’t know exactly what’s gone on, and he’s got lots more tests to have, for a few seconds he did die on the pitch.” Do we really need to know that this is only the third time ever that Manchester City have started a match at 5.30pm in a temperature of more than 25 degrees? But as things stand, Núñez will be kept out of public sight, set to work on building his strength while missing home games against Bournemouth and Newcastle, as well as next Monday’s crisis-baton derby at Manchester United. That showdown remains an appointment to view despite Núñez’s absence; after all, nobody likes to see big clubs thrashing about at the bottom of the table, but etc. We’re saying it’s fine to enjoy Nunez’s Begbiesque tendencies, and consume the pantomime fun in a relaxed state of High Amusement, but then The Fiver doesn’t have any kids, we neither think of them nor care. Whether this sort of pub-car-park-infused carry-on will be embraced by the more milquetoast members of the newly popular Nobody Likes To See It But They Do movement, who recently coalesced around the lingering handshake between Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte, a brouhaha straight out of the quainter playground playbook, remains to be seen. Wilfried Zaha and Luis Díaz both scored delightful goals at Anfield on Monday night, but that wasn’t the half of it for fans of aesthetic purity.

Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez has lamented his 'ugly attitude' after being sent off for headbutting Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen.

Van Dijk added: “He’s got the backing from us and he knows it should not happen again and hopefully it will be that way. It will be a learning curve for him and hopefully it will never happen again.” Nunez and Andersen had been involved in a tense battle throughout the game, with the Dane keen to put the Uruguayan off his game. "It’s not the reaction you want to see. We will use it (suspension) for physical work - not as punishment - but making him even stronger and that’s what we’ll try.” It makes no sense for me to talk about it in public, you see it.
