City and Liverpool knew they had to switch things up and both weirdly enough went for almost opposite evolutions in pure strikers. But while City can attract proven players, Liverpool still, because of style, identity and money, can only go for potentials.
Remember how Nunez started playing at Liverpool, he scored in every match until Haaland was just adapting.Sadly, I do remember. Nunez made his debut in the Community Shield, where we just blasted City out of the sky (as the underdog too, so it was a great start to my betting season). But yeah, sent himself off, coinciding with our injuries, and then our mojo got shaken. City's definitely had the easier going, and Haaland fit the system really well. They've got actual suppliers, we've got defenders expecting to feed crosses to Nunez haha.
I think the only difference between both players that surrounds them, Haaland had a decent amount of chances in the Community Shield too, but I guess the pressure were just enormous, while Nunez seem to have slotted right perfectly into the team, the only struggle now is on the overall the team performance not individually player, Nunez would also be doing perfectly right in the current City lineup with a supply line like De Bruyne and the kind of form Cancelo is currently on right now, It's no doubt Haaland is a deadly striker with great strength and positioning instinct, but I'd give much credit to his supply line as well, which is what Nunez tends to be lacking at the moment, but it's just a matter of time, I suppose.
These two are unique in their own style but also good for aerial challenges. The way Haaland fits right in, is same way Aguero was, with the runs and speed and strength. He is more of a complete striker compared to Nunez. Nunez's role for Liverpool is meant to sync with Sala and Firmino, just as Mane then, who offered a solid sync with Sala and the team. One other thing will be to look at how fast they can rebound from injuries while maintaining form. The season still has more games for these players to show their worth, though I like the Klopp side, they still have more incompetency to work on. I however, see Manchester city doing better with an already complete squad.

so they always score goals, their problem has been scoring important goals in crucial games in the latter stages of the CL, and also missing quite a lot of opportunities in important games that they ought to have put to bed, like againts Real Madrid in the first leg of the CL Semi Final last season.
