Both Liverpool and Man City signed new number nines this summer in Darwin Núñez and Erling Haaland, but one may be a more 'fixed' striker than the other.

But that may not be 100 per cent accurate. Is this not exactly the kind of scenario that was feared when Manchester City signed him? But surely an eight-touch performance will generate some underlying anxieties. When his Liverpool team-mates learn more about him, they can truly take advantage of these movements. Still, the numbers are striking. But that may not prove to be an issue for Liverpool, because Núñez has already shown a willingness to make runs away from the central, high-percentage shooting zones.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland continues to look the part at his new club despite some external fixation on how many touches he has in a match.

Don’t expect anybody at City to care how many touches Haaland has while he is contributing as much as he is to the team. “If he doesn't score they will say it but he set up the first goal, he had a couple of chances and he was there. The forward’s scarcity of touches was highlighted as an area that needed work in the Community Shield defeat to Liverpool, only to be forgotten when he scored two at West Ham.

"But it is coming, it is a question of timing, in my career many times we play teams like that and we always find a solution to break it. "In this type of defences you have to play with a striker or maybe two because you have to attack left-right, right-centre right-left inside and behind when the space is minimal.
