It's how Nunez started, so I wouldn't want to put all my eggs on him. That said, I was never sure we needed Isak... I just feel like losing Diaz and Jota was an unexpected blow and we need to plug it. Gakpo's cool, but hey who knows, Chiesa comes good? Haha.

After you said that I wanted to check out Nunez's first ever Premier League match. You are right. He also started the same way. 1 goal and 1 assist. Grin

Yes, Chiesa's goal was quite unexpected. He was even among the players to be sent from the team.

Prior to that, Nunez also showed up Haaland in the Charity Shield... so, yeah. Early games tell us almost nothing. They're almost as useless as pre-season friendlies in terms of judging player abilities throughout. That does mean Kerkez and Wirtz shouldn't be judged too harshly.

P.S. Igebotz Palmer and Wirtz battle still nil-nil Wink

I am a United supporter....but then again they made me lose a bigger stake just a few weeks ago.
But they should get their first WIN against Fulham....or maybe not... Cheesy

I can never find it in my heart to bet against the team I support. Not even going as far as a draw. The worst I do for Liverpool is to bet on them to qualify during a cup contest (so, in a sense, a possible draw, but eventually winning on penalties or extra time). Fulham makes the most sensible bet here, though, it's just value. Same as Spurs at almost 8/1 (vs City but they are a sort of bogey team for the Sky Blues).
