If Nunez was strong enough to take himself and play in his full potential, he could certainly have a positive impact on Liverpool and may have given them three points.
This is now putting more pressure on the Merseyside giants to win Man City this weekend, which will surely be difficult, even if the side of the Pep Guardiola was not the best possible for much of this season.
Is Liverpool still the Premier League’s favorite title?
Liverpool’s lead is still quite decent, but Arsenal has recently improved and this now looks more like a title match than about a month ago.
If Mikel Arteta’s side goes in the kind of course, they continued in the second half of the last season, when they took the final city of Champions until the last day of the season, then Liverpool should be very careful.
Villa Away was never likely to be easy, but Arsenal won there earlier at the time and have other hard long off -road games.
The rest of Liverpool lights are a little more difficult, at least on paper, so Nunez will need to do much better with great chances like this in the future.
