For all the talk of this being a new-look Liverpool, there's a familiar feeling about where they find themselves just now
Having extended an unbeaten run that dates back to early April in Sunday's 3-1 win over West Ham United, the Reds moved up to second in the Premier League, back on to the coattails of Manchester City once more.
Since the start of the 2018/19 campaign City and Liverpool have collected 905 points from a possible 1,176 available, with the current champions amassing 465 to the Reds' 440. It's a remarkable return, particularly given the next closest is Arsenal's gathering of 354.READ MORE: What Jurgen Klopp did at full time shows Liverpool could be about to shock Premier League
And while the obvious area for praise was Darwin Nunez's wonderfully-executed volley to make it 2-1 against the Hammers, Klopp instead chose to highlight the more subtle aspects of his No.9's display. Liverpool's pressing-from-the-front is a tactic made famous - in the modern era, at least - by Roberto Firmino, who carried out his manager's strategic instructions to the letter during much of his glittering eight-year stay, but Nunez has been a work-in-progress on that front.
His assist for Mohamed Salah on Thursday night at LASK was further evidence of that as he robbed a defender of possession high up the pitch before playing in the Egyptian. His burgeoning partnership with Salah is one that should excite supporters. All six of Nunez's Liverpool assists have been for Salah.
