MOTD2 pundit Danny Murphy explains the importance of Darwin Nunez and Virgil van Dijk in Liverpool's draw with Manchester City - and their title bid.
I know from my own experiences as a Liverpool player that, when you are losing at Anfield then equalise straight after half-time, it does more than give you momentum - it can change the whole feel of a game.
I really do believe his display was as good as any I've seen from him since he joined Liverpool in the summer of 2022, which is a strange thing to say about a striker who didn't score. Ibrahima Konate's injury this week meant the whole right side of Liverpool's defence was very young, with Jarell Quansah next to Conor Bradley. Jurgen Klopp again showed his faith in the kids by playing them, and they both did really well in what was arguably the biggest game of their careers.
At the heart of it all, though, is Van Dijk. Some of his passing against City was phenomenal, as always, but on top of that, his last-ditch defending was outstanding. Van Dijk has been terrific all season, of course, but this particular game showed the importance of his presence. Jeremy Doku hit the post after Kelleher had denied Phil Foden at a really crucial time and, for all the opportunities Liverpool created, they could still have been beaten.
