It was Darwin Núñez who won the battle against Erling Haaland in the Community Shield and the Liverpool signing showed he will give Jürgen Klopp something ...
Even Haaland on the other side is not a natural in the air, despite his physical presence. One of Núñez's most unique strengths in this Liverpool side is his aerial threat. If there were any doubts still, even after his four-goal haul against RB Leipzig, that Núñez was going to be a success at Liverpool, those will have been quashed in that half-hour cameo.

But the key to success is to build on it. Van Dijk added: “Obviously he is a totally different player to Sadio, for example. He came on at a time when City were a little bit more fatigued, I think, and caused difficulties for them, scoring and getting the handball. Netherlands centre-back van Dijk has no doubt that Nunez can be a huge hit in English football - but insists he must just ignore the price tag on his head. Though, judging by Haaland’s movement, his pace and desire, he has got all of the attributes to take the Premier League by storm. He scored, won a penalty and his movement plus mobility for a 6ft 2in target man was so eye-catching that it is no wonder the Liverpool love him already.

Klopp also touched upon the impact players made from the bench in general, "Probably one of the highlights of the game, as good as we were, was the impact from the bench - [it] was really exceptional.

Bobby obviously mastered it and I think he’s one of the best ones in that position to do it. The positional element of Liverpool’s high-speed football can be underestimated; they can wreak chaos in a planned fashion. That the Brazilian started against City was perhaps in part due to his status as the disruptor in chief. “But we have moved on, we got him in, different player, different qualities, and we can use those in a positive way.

"He has to just keep working and keep learning. "He has to not look at, for example, what all you guys (in the media) say about him after a game. "For Darwin to learn from Bobby, but also bring his own qualities into the game with runs in behind, mixing it up, it's good. That's something strikers have to learn," said the Netherlands captain.
