Jurgen Klopp betrayed a hint of jealousy towards Manchester City when discussing Darwin Nunez before the Rangers game. It has not gone to plan.
“It’s not like everything is clicking and we put in one player and he finishes our situations off,” he said. “That’s not our situation at the moment, as much as I wish it would be.”
It was not the decisive factor: the Reds sought mainly to address their midfield issues and the double pivot of Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara offered greater stability than before, without the porousness which has come to undermine their opening months of the season. The captain was particularly impressive in a slightly modified role.
Haaland’s imperious finishing is such that he finds the corners with either foot and from seemingly any angle. If Nunez even aimed one of his attempts off-centre instead of favouring power, he would have had his goal.started to make absolute sense as half-time beckoned.
