It was a big call to play without a recognised number nine against Man City.

It’s a funny game.

The goalie did well and the two centre-halves were magnificent, and the rest did their job accordingly.

Nunez has to prove he's good enough

If I was one of the strikers, and I’ve said it before, when you pull on that red shirt and play for Liverpool, you have to run through a brick wall.

It wasn’t really a surprise he was left unused against Man City.

He didn’t work to the levels you’ve got to do to play for Liverpool, so you’ve sown a seed of doubt in the manager’s mind.

If you’re not scoring goals, you’re not worthy of the number nine shirt.

If he does that, the goals will follow.

He needs to get it back and prove himself, and prove that he is good enough to be Liverpool’s number nine
