Trent Alexander-Arnold has backed Darwin Nunez to open his Liverpool account sooner rather than later and believes goals will come like 'London buses' for the striker.
Nunez has come in for some criticism from rival fans after his short displays against Manchester United and Crystal Palace. The striker completed his move from Benfica in June for an initial fee of £64 million that could rise to £85 million.
Alexander-Arnold believes Nunez needs time to adapt to Liverpool's style of play and his new teammates before the Reds fans see the best of the Uruguayan forward.

Speaking after Liverpool's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Friday, Alexander-Arnold said: "He's still kind of learning how we play, we're learning how he plays and soon enough we'll get that connection.
"I'm sure we'll be able to supply him with the ball to score goals. You can see he's itching for that first goal, but I'm sure once it comes it will be like London buses. We'll back him.
"Obviously out there, playing with him, you know to start that number nine movement that he's got, the runs that he makes, where he wants the ball. It's just about finding that connection and soon enough it'll all be good for us."
