106 Former Liverpool player Danny Murphy has now been celebrating an all round display he absolutely loved yesterday evening.
Jurgen Klopp went into the game with a squad depleted by injuries yet again.
And whilst they are all excellent talents themselves, neither Caoimhin Kelleher, Jarrel Quansah or Conor Bradley would be starting in Liverpool’s strongest team right now.
Klopp watched his team excel even without three of his five most trusted members of the back line.
And even if the German has been forced to trust his young players to an extent, the situation has certainly catapulted the future of a number of talents.
The names mentioned and the likes of Bobby Clark and Jayden Danns now seem ready to thrive under any new manager, even if there’s a strong squad ahead of them.
That all being said, it’s one of Liverpool’s more senior players who amazed Danny Murphy yesterday.
Murphy was analysing the game on the BBC’s Match of the Day 2 and couldn’t help but notice just how complete Darwin Nunez’s performance was.

Nunez is primarily known as a goal-scorer, a player who is not afraid to miss, but Murphy loved so much more of his game yesterday.
The pundit saw a player willing to run, link up with his teammates and also lead the line.
Speaking about Nunez’s chance which Stefan Ortega saved well, Murphy said: “That goal would have been the icing on the cake for him because his performance for Liverpool today was, leading the line against a really good City side, was phenomenal in every aspect.
“I know he didn’t score, but his link up, his work rate, his running off the ball, he led the line superbly.
“There were lots of great performances, don’t get me wrong, but I wanted to mention him because people talk about his goal-scoring all the time, his all round game today was superb.”
And in truth, it really is hard to argue with Murphy’s summary of Nunez’s performance for Liverpool yesterday.
The striker is almost unrecognisable from last season, a player who is now ready to shoulder a ton of responsibility.
And if Klopp is to win the league in his final season then Nunez will still play a huge part.
All that being said, both Ian Rush and Luis Diaz were amazed by another Liverpool performance yesterday.
