Liverpool fans have ridiculed American Jack Doherty after his response to criticism from Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez.
Despite a productive second season on Merseyside, the Uruguayan’s future at Liverpool has been thrown into doubt in recent weeks.
Nunez was spotted not clapping during Jurgen Klopp’s guard of honor in the club’s final league match. Reports suggest that new boss Arne Slot is planning to bring in a new striker in his first summer.
However, despite questions about where he will play his club football, Nunez has been at his clinical best in front of goal at international level of late.
The 24-year-old scored a hat-trick in Uruguay’s Copa America warm-up match against Mexico as the tournament kicks off in the United States later this month.

Last week, images emerged of the striker encountering controversial streamer Doherty on the street.
The former Benfica star took photos with fans while Doherty was ‘IRL streaming’, a form of online content where creators broadcast their daily lives to an audience online.
Despite not seeming to know who Nunez is, Doherty tries to do the same when he notices fans clamoring to take a photo with him, but is rebuffed by the Uruguayan as he continues to walk down the street.
In response to the incident, Doherty shared a video on social media in which he responded to a fan’s comment claiming that Nunez makes more money than him.
“So this is about the whole Darwin Nunez situation.” Doherty said.
‘I actually don’t agree with this comment. Okay, so if you look up Darwin Nunez’s net worth on Google, it will say $3 million.
Doherty claimed that a Google search proves he has a higher net worth than the 24-year-old
‘If you look up my net worth on Google, it says $60 million. But yeah, he humiliated me quite a bit, I think my life is over, man, I don’t know what to do anymore.’
At the end of his sarcastic response, Doherty panned the camera around to show off a luxurious balcony view of the water.
However, despite his attempts to fire back, Liverpool fans insisted Doherty was ‘upset’ by the response.
One fan wrote: ‘Can’t believe Darwin Nunez upset @dohertyjackk’
Another added: “Bro hurt his feelings. Darwin didn’t even acknowledge him, he probably didn’t see him.’
Another fan agreed: “The fact that you still think about him makes him bigger than you. Merseyside forever YWNWA’
A fourth fan joked: ‘The fact he’s using Google’s top searches to do this is why I’m worried about this generation. Basing someone’s wealth on that is wild’
But fans were quick to make fun of Doherty, claiming the 20-year-old was ‘upset’ by the incident
At just 20 years old, Doherty had amassed more than 14 million subscribers on YouTube by sharing vlogs about his life, often featuring other viral celebrities and recent appearances from rapper Lil Pump and the Island Boys.
In an April video, Doherty claimed to have purchased a home in Los Angeles, California for $10 million.
