Man City players are on fire, they are in their best forms nowadays. It is not surprising if we see they won with big scores again, and it becomes something usual to know Haaland scores again.
Man City is simply unstoppable in EPL, they seem to have no strong opponents. If Man City continues their current good performance, no doubt they will win EPL title this season. Anyway, Haaland only scored 1 goal in the latest match, I think it is not a big deal if they couldn't make a hattrick again.
Manchester City must give Haaland time to relax. Personal record for him is not a biggest objective of the club. Like yesterday match, if he can not score in the first half, Pep should substitute him by another player after City already scored 2 goals. Maybe Pep wanted to help Haaland to beat the record of scoring goals in 8 consecutive matches of Kun Aguero. So if Haaland achieves it in the next match day, Pep should do something, give his best striker some minutes to refresh his body. He and the club need Haaland for bigger objectives.
I agree with you that Darwin Nunez was paid too much. Liverpool fell short of expectations. After Mane's departure, Nunez has not been able to fill this void with certainty. Salah and Mane were a great match, I see a decrease in Salah's performance when Mane is gone. Manchester City are coming in undefeated. I'm sure Haaland will be top scorer this year, but I'm not sure how many goals he will score. I think he will easily pass 30 goals. I really wonder what the upper limit will be.
Nunez and Mane have different styles and he can not replace Mane in a same system with same tactic. I don't know but maybe Klopp wanted to adjust tactic and system for Liverpool with Nunez. I guessed he knew about the fact that opponents will always figure out way to beat a long time used tactic. It happened many times even with tiki-taka, with Barcelona and Spain.
About price of Nunez, I agree that it is simply too expensive. He only had a good season and received that offer from Liverpool. Maybe the departure of Mane forced Klopp and Liverpool to buy him.
About Erling Haaland, Pep Guardiola knows what best to do, did you watch that game against Copenhagen during mid-week Champions League game at home ( Etihad ) ? Immediately he scored the second goal and half time whistle blown, he was substituted immediately as he was rested for this game. He should score as much as he wants too, set his own personal record's, so others will thrive to break that record in years ahead. Erling Haaland will score 40+league goals if he continues this way, I'm very certain of what I say.
And about Darwin Nunez, Liverpool are still playing most balls to Salah rather than Nunez, I took my time to watch Nunez during training session for Liverpool and indeed he is a complete player and also very composed.
Klopp knows what to do, same way he let Mane go he should do so to Mo Salah soon else he'll get Fvcked with the striker going vexed on the bench bout lack of game time. They should start doing what Manchester City is doing, all ball's should go to Nunez and he'll start scoring goals.
