I think the absence of Nunez in the Big Match match against Manchester United does not make Liverpool look weak, Liverpool still has other great players who are able to make Manchester United troops overwhelmed by the onslaught of Moh Salah and his friends. This match is a place to find victory for both teams, Liverpool, who won draws in the last two matches, really want to get full points in the third match. While Manchester United fortunes were worse than Liverpool, the defeat against a small team has drawn criticism for the team performance earlier in the season. Ten Hag desperately need a win in their third game of the season, but this time Ten Hag task is very tough because the team they face is stronger than Brighton and Brentford.
The absence of Nunez will definitely be felt, I think Firminho will have to come in to replace Nunez. Liverpool have a stronger attack that can penetrate United's shaky defense. Harry Maguire and Martinez will have to work so much and be on their heals through out the 90mins of the game. I hope Manchester United can get a point from the game to boost their confidence for the next round of the competition.
