Darwin Nunez 'tried TOO hard' on his Liverpool home debut, insists NBC pundit Robbie Earle... while Danny Higginbotham claims game 'turned' after $102m striker's 'stupid' red card as Reds went back to last season's style of play

Liverpool's sluggish start to the season continued Monday with a 1-1 draw at home to Crystal Palace with $102million summer signing Darwin Nunez enduring an Anfield debut to forget.

That tie now means the Reds have picked up just two points from two games after a 2-2 result at Fulham on the opening weekend.

Nunez's home debut was marred by a red card following a headbutt to Palace defender Joachim Anderson.
