ARNE SLOT has zero tolerance for the behaviour Darwin Nunez showed against Aston Villa.
The striker missed an open goal that would have won Liverpool the match at Villa Park.

Dominik Szoboszlai got in behind the defence and rolled the ball over to Nunez with the keeper beaten, yet the Urugyuan somehow blazed over from a matter of yards.
Slot accepted the miss as a part of football but he was not happy to see Nunez drop his head, suggesting the striker was not his usual hardworking self the moment he missed the chance.
The Liverpool boss said: “I can accept every miss… players can miss chances, that I can accept, but what is harder for me to accept is his behaviour after that chance.
“It got too much in his head where he was not the usual Darwin that works his a*** off and makes sure he helps the team.
“I think he was too disappointed after missing that chance and maybe that is why he was just short a fraction afterwards.”
Slot pointed out Nunez has scored key goals this season, including against Villa in the home fixture, not to mention a double against Brentford to win the Reds three points late on.
Nunez spoke out his latest miss and vowed to stay resilient.
He wrote on social media: “I wasn’t the best three weeks ago, and I’m not the worst now. If I fall, I get up. You’ll never see me give up.
