He's also still young enough that he can improve. Will he ever be as clinical as a Fowler or a Sturridge? Probably not. Am I bothered about that? No - not if he is scoring and assisting plenty and facilitating play - which he is.
He is really good now. He is showing signs of further improvement. He has time on his side.
Just enjoy him. Sturridge, for comparison, got 67 goals in 160 appearances for us - somewhere between 1-in-2 and 1-in-3. Incredible finisher, but without wishing to denegrate him in any way he was injured a Hell of a lot and I think when we look back after Darwin's career with us that he is likely to have had a better injury record and probably done more of the off-the-ball stuff to facilitate other players - though we can't make that judgement either way just now.
You'll be bothered when salah goes are main goalscorer, by far so far this season.
It'll be even more frustrating when he misses simple chances.
The solution you either find.... another salah somehow who scores alot like he does..... or we get a clinical striker if Nunez doesn't end up being that :/
