The man on a mission: Darwin Nunez to decide Manchester City vs Liverpool clash


Finally, the real Darwin Nunez is standing up. He is smashing the screamers from distance, tight angles and nearly impossible shooting angles. Nunez is a man on fire, his confidence is so high that he tries audacious tricks and shooting drills to the amazement of the fans who all know soon one of those shots will rattle the net. 

The penultimate clash between Liverpool and Manchester City will be decided by a small margin and the victor will likely end the season as Premier League Champions. 

No disrespect to Arsenal and their determination to be champions but over the years, the Gunners have shown a high level of inconsistency for others to predict with ease that they will crumble when the intensity heightens.  

Is good though that Arsenal are fighting hard to compete. This makes the Premier League much more interesting to watch. Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal are all vying to be champions and that's good for the English game. 

While Arsenal hopefuls and the rest of the world watches Sunday clash -Darwin Nunez- will be optimistic of smashing another pile driver and if not, provide the needed support for Luis Diaz, Gakpo or Mohamed Salah to finish. 

It won't be easy beating Manchester City's well grilled winning team but teamwork, the support of the fans and the manager's tactical setup and his incredible will to win will provide the atmosphere needed to beat Manchester City. All that is required is for the team to kill off the game once the chance presents itself.  

No doubt Nunez has missed lots of big opportunities, but he is improving, proving that he can become of the best strikers in the world and hopefully, the Kops will see the best of him Sunday. 

The Uruguay international will certainly know if he can get himself in the score sheet it will extend City's losing streak at Anfield to 35 games. City has won just twice in 34 matches and the last win was during the Covid-19 pandemic behind closed door.

This time though it will be different. The fans and players are all aiming to give Jurgen Klopp a memorable game and victory against City. And with Mohammed Salah, Szbolosai, Endo and Darwin all fit and fresh for the game, City will certainly feel the heat.

A Better Nigeria: What the Government must do to end food crises

What is wrong with Nigeria and its people? A sane question most people have asked for decades but little have figured out the problems. Those who have the amicable solution and well placed in positions to truly effect change are either been rigged out, threatened or even killed.   Tragic you would say, but there's more to the complex web of Nigeria's challenges and food crises is one of them which the incumbent president must deal with immediately.  Before taking over the mantle of leadership, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a series of promises and swiftly took action by removing fuel subsidy in his first day in office. Taking that action was bold and cold because no alternative was given.  The effect was an immediate increase in fuel which resulted in an increase in the cost of transportation of both perishable and imperishable goods. Businesses which where reliant on generators for power packed up while well established businesses were forced to retrench workers or pa...

4 Reasons Why Kylian Mbappe must join Liverpool rather than Real Madrid

For most players, Real Madrid and Barcelona are dream clubs to play for but they're also a lot of negatives that must be taken into account before making the move.  A typical example is Eden Hazard who is arguably the greatest player in Chelsea history and one of the best players in Premier League history. It was a very bad decision to switch from Chelsea to Real Madrid and the player has clearly admitted. Hazard retired at the age of 32.  Kylian Mbappe is without doubt a super player but, he needs to understand that Liverpool offers him a better chance to reach his full potential than Real Madrid and here are the reasons why: A. The Premier League is more competitive than La Liga and Liverpool is the best place for him - Apart from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, most people don't even bother watching other Spanish teams in the La Liga except their competing in the Champions League, Europa League or the Conference League. Kylian Mbappe needs to join Liverpool a te...

One trick pony: How Manchester City star Erling Haaland can be stopped

When it comes to consistency of goals scored, no other striker delivers like Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland. The Norwegian's an extraordinary player, a poacher of goals that should be the model for future strikers.  The Norwegian star is currently the quickest player in Premier League history to score 50 league goals, shattering Andrew Cole's previous record by 17 games after scoring the opening goal in Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Liverpool.  His conversion rate is bone chilling and definitely worrisome for opposition coaches who always seems confused on what must be done to stop Haaland. Stopping the 23-year-old is hard but possible.  Fact; Haaland do not score goals outside the 18-yard box. Since joining Manchester City from Borrusia Dortmund, Haaland has only managed to shoot 10 times outside the box and scored just once.  Why? He is an instinctive goal poacher whose short burst opens up space for him to shoot accurately to goal. His biggest strength...
