Any offside stats? Nunez must be running away with it...
He lives offside.
Lazily offside though cos when he is actually focused and making run in the box he isn't offside often.
When the ball is up the other end he seems to just totally switch off and is often offside
He runs about a fair bit closing down and into the channels so maybe he just takes his time getting back to have a breather?
Meh.
When your sides defending and you are 3 yards offside when a clearance comes up its really just lazy.
Stand on half way ffs.
He has shown he's not another cisse. I swear that lad never heard of the offside rule he was caught that many times, nunez can run the line well enough when he wants but he just has a lot of these bad habits. A lot of polishing required
Nunez js pretty good at timing his actual runs to be fair to him. Think sometimes he’s just not being played in early enough though. Was couple times in arsenal game where he was making the run but diaz held onto ball and by time he then went to release it nunez was off.
Hopefully things like that will develop as season goes on. Diaz does like to hold onto ball so it’s whether klopp wants to coach him to release quicker, or keep doing that and other forwards needs to adapt to it
Statistics for Man City game.
Just to show the difference in "level" delivered in intensity.
It should also be noted the team ran 118.5km which is as high as anything we have achieved in the last 3 seasons

Tackles made - they had most of the ball
Possession won- they had the ball in our defensive 3rd a lot so of course this goes up.
Same for ball recoveries.
We just plain worked harder imo and hit them on the break with our most lethal weapon, mo salah on the break up against one guy.
West sham will be a totally different ball game cos they will not ever leave mo salah up against one man.
Think stats on their own are a bit misleading. We will have run more, made more tackles etc because city had the majority of the ball so you will run more and tackle more than other games where we have 70% possession for example.
But, agree we just seemed to put more effort in and was almost like players knew that had a point to prove. I think they knew that against city anything less than 100% and would get hammered.
Generally agree with that but MITO said over the last three seasons meaning it's higher than other games against Man City too
