Graham recalled Klopp's decision, stating that the manager's success at the club made it understandable that he moved away from data-driven decisions in favor of his own preferences. Graham also mentioned a previous instance where Klopp was persuaded to sign Mohamed Salah instead of Julian Brandt in 2017.
When asked about the 2022 signing of Nunez, Graham explained that both Nunez and Isak were top young centre-forwards in Europe. However, Klopp preferred Nunez, who turned out to be one of the best young strikers in Europe.
Graham acknowledged that it would be unfair to criticize Klopp for his choice, given that he had previously been persuaded by the data analyst and his colleagues to sign different players. The signing of Nunez was still considered a successful move for the club.
