Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has revealed he has deleted all his Liverpool photos from social media after being hit with “negative” comments.

The former Benfica man ended his second season at Anfield with 11 goals and eight assists in 36 Premier League appearances.

Nunez lost his place in the Liverpool squad towards the end of the season and appeared to let his frustrations get the better of him after Liverpool’s 4-2 win over Tottenham earlier this month.

However, Nunez has now revealed that he removed the photos after receiving negative comments about his performances, with the Uruguay international being hit by criticism, but vowed to ignore them in the future.

“From the moment you start playing until you retire, there will always be someone who will criticize you,” he told Por la jersey, via ESPN Uruguay.

“Before, I used to watch them a lot and it affected me.

“Whoever says that those negative comments don’t affect his mind, those negative comments that are directed at you will always affect you.

“I tell myself everything, but I ignore those comments because they are of no use to me.

“I never look at negative comments on social media, at least now I don’t look at anything, not even the good stuff.

The 24-year-old will be heading into his third season with the Reds and could really have a strong campaign next season.
