Darwin Nunez posts a cryptic single-word statement following Liverpool’s latest defeat.

Liverpool’s recent struggles have invited plenty of criticism, but a familiar figure has unexpectedly joined the conversation.

Darwin Nunez shared the word “Resiliencia” on X, paired with a photo of him celebrating for Uruguay with his fingers to his ears. The 26-year-old used the same gesture and message during his time at Anfield, usually when he wanted to block out outside noise.

This latest post came just hours after Liverpool’s losing streak continued with defeat to PSV, making the timing impossible to overlook.

The former Benfica striker has consistently used that word to show defiance.

During last season’s Champions League campaign, he wrote: “They are not all, they are some. Thank you Reds for your support, we are all still together!” before adding “Resiliencia”, reaffirming his determination to respond to critics.

Earlier in his Liverpool career, he replied to mocking clips with the same one-word message – a clear sign of his belief that strength and perseverance would bring results.

Those moments highlight how Nunez dealt with criticism while wearing the No.9 shirt.

A message that feels directed at Liverpool

Given the timing, it’s hard not to interpret his post as a show of support for his former teammates.

Liverpool are in their worst run of form since the 1950s, with nine losses in twelve matches in all competitions.

The squad needs every bit of encouragement to move past this period, and the ex-Liverpool forward’s message felt like a subtle rallying call to the current dressing room.

Why Nunez’s post hits home

Arne Slot, now in his second season, may have won the Premier League months ago, but the team has struggled to rediscover last year’s rhythm.

With departures, tragic events, and significant changes within the squad, confidence and composure have understandably become issues.

This is what makes Nunez’s message resonate.

He was often criticised for his raw edges or inconsistency, but his determination and fighting spirit were never in doubt—qualities Liverpool could use right now.

Intentional or not, his one-word post arrives at a time when resilience is exactly what the club needs.
