So fucking ready for a whole season of this.
No-one cares about Liverpool versus Manchester City because it’s HAALAND V NUNEZ TIMELiverpool versus Man City is still not the greatest rivalry in Premier League history. It’s not even the biggest feud involving the two teamsIt was in early April when Jamie Carragher prised open a can of something unappetising, unimaginative and barely edible.
Carragher laid out his argument perfectly reasonably. He suggested this was ‘the first time the two best teams in England are the two best teams in the world, led by the two greatest coaches of their generation,’ postured that ‘the parallels run out of steam when applied to European competition’ and described Arsenal’s battles with Manchester United in the late 1990s and early 2000s – generally accepted as peak Barclays – as ‘a domestic squabble’.
: it laid bare precisely how clear these two teams are of the chasing pack; it allowed Jurgen Klopp to complete his set of trophies in England; and it provided the foundations for the sort of utter f**king tedium which promises to transcend these two teams, these two managers and all but two of these players.
Nunez had the upper hand even before he came on. By half-time the Haaland fail compilation videos had been painstakingly rushed out for maximum engagement. All but those in City blue revelled in one particular statistic: that he had the fewest touches of the ball in the first half. Pep Guardiola, of course, had signed this goal machine for his intricate build-up play and variety and volume of passing.
