As Jürgen Klopp’s risk demonstrates a clear plan A, Liverpool has a weapon more effective than Erling Haaland.

As evidenced by Jürgen Klopp’s ‘risk’ to start him against West Ham, Liverpool has a forward who is more productive than even the formidable Erling Haaland.

Since entering the Premier League, Erling Haaland has established the standard for goal scoring. But Liverpool and Jürgen Klopp have been working on a strong weapon of their own to counter Pep Guardiola’s concoction.

And throughout the course of this season, especially in the most recent week against LASK and West Ham United, that antidote has been effectively unleashed, time and time again.

Darwin Nunez has always been compared to Haaland from the moment he was signed.
These comparisons were inevitable given that both players joined England’s top two teams in the same summer.

However, it’s fair to say that only Haaland lived up to the expectations in the first season.
Nunez significantly underperformed compared to expectations based on his own standards.

However, it’s fair to say that only Haaland lived up to the hype in the first season.
Nunez significantly lagged behind what was expected of him by his own standards.

Thankfully, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and sometimes it takes time to integrate a forward—even one as productive as Nunez—especially in a system as exacting as Klopp’s gegenpressing one at Anfield.

It’s a good thing that Rome wasn’t built in a day because it can sometimes take time to integrate a forward, even one as productive as Nez, especially in a system as exacting as Klopp’s gegenpressing one at Anfield.

In a club, Nez often starts off slowly before exploding suddenly.
His first season at Benfica saw him score just 14 goals, but his second saw him light up the world.

Now, based on what he has demonstrated so far this season, it appears that history may be about to repeat itself.

Nez gave the impression that he was on a mission the moment he arrived in preseason.
In the preseason, he had a lot of goals and appeared to be a completely different, terrifying prospect.

Nunez has now continued in that form during the regular season.
The Uruguayan has already shown his clutchness numerous times this season, including with a crucial brace to turn the game around against Newcastle, a goal and an assist against Aston Villa, and a goal and another assist midweek against LASK.

But Klopp could have easily benched him against West Ham.
Starting him back-to-back in two games so soon after picking up an ailment during the international break was undoubtedly a risk.

But it turned out to be a risk worth taking.

The Uruguayan gave Liverpool yet another pivotal moment with his goal to give his team the lead. Nunez’s goal served as a significant catalyst for the game.

Nunez is more prolific than Haaland himself, who has so far “only” contributed a goal every 87 minutes on average at the club level.

Nunez is only three goals behind Haaland despite having played 463 more minutes than the Norwegian and having contributed to six goals overall.

In a Liverpool jersey, it has taken him some time to get going, but once Nunez finds his golden clutch, he has already shown at Benfica that he is impossible to stop.
Liverpool will be hoping that Anfield will follow this trend.

According to Paul Merson, Liverpool look much better without the £35 million player.

Considering how well the Reds played against Wolves, Paul Merson has suggested that Liverpool is a better team when Alexis Mac Allister isn’t on the field.

The pundit told Sportskeeda that Liverpool played much better at Molineux after Mac Allister was substituted, and the Anfield team went on to win 3-1 after trailing 1-0 in the first half.

The Argentine international, who was signed this summer for £35 million, has had a rocky start to life at Liverpool. Mac Allister has yet to find his feet at his new team.

Despite a lack of performances, many supporters remain optimistic that the midfielder will succeed because Mac Allister is a player who has already demonstrated his talent in the Premier League.

Merson’s remarks may nonetheless imply that Liverpool would be better off without the 24-year-old given the results, which were quite glaring in light of what transpired on Saturday.

According to the analyst, Liverpool improved dramatically after the break against Wolves after replacing Alexis MacAllister with Luis Diaz.

Liverpool ought to disregard Merson’s remark regarding Mac Allister.

Since Mac Allister moved from Brighton and Hove Albion to Liverpool, it will take some time for the midfielder to adjust to his new team completely.

The South American is undoubtedly a talented player who, like other Liverpool legends in recent years, has the potential to reach elite status once he gels with Jurgen Klopp’s system.

Even though his Liverpool career hasn’t started off well, Mac Allister is aware that he still hasn’t reached his full potential and that his future performances at Anfield could be explosive
