Nunez, though, contrived to waste that one too.Liverpool fans were frustrated by his wastefulness and vented it out on Twitter, with one deeming the striker's performance 'unacceptable'. A Chelsea fan took the opportunity to draw parallels between Nunez and Werner, calling the Reds striker 'worse' than the former Chelsea hitman.Here are some of the best Twitter reactions to Nunez's hat-trick of misses:SJ@316simsimNunez has missed from the same angle 3 times. In fact he has not even hit the target while without any immediate pressure behind him. Why are we lying to ourselves about this guy?25155Nunez has missed from the same angle 3 times.
