Celta Vigo strikers must do better - Nunez

Celta Vigo winger Antonio Nunez has had a dig at the club's strikers after a string of disappointing results.

"The team isn't playing badly, it is just we cannot score and so as a result we are not inning," said former Liverpool midfielder Nunez.
"Goals tend to come in runs and at the moment we have gone three matches without a goal but we are hoping that on Sunday we will start a good run again.
"For me, this is the only problem as before we were not playing as well as we are now but the difference was that we were clinical in front of goal. Now though it is the reverse and the opposition are not superior to us but are taking their chances.
"With our aim still being to qualify for the Champions League, the next game is going to be vital for us. We have to win the match in front of our own fans in order to keep alive this hope.
"We will all go out with the same desire as ever looking to win."
On a personal level, Nunez is looking to fight his way back into the starting line-up.
He began the season as a regular after his summer move from the European champions but now has found himself more often than not on the bench.
"I hope to start games but this is down to the coach," he added. "I have no reason to complain and all I can do is to keep working and wait for my opportunity."
