I can see how that could turn into a dominant narrative this season, though I think it's more big-picture than that. It's also a slightly new-look rivalry, with the arrivals of Darwin Núñez and Erling Haaland certain to alter both teams' style of play. Regardless of the personnel involved, Jürgen Klopp will be looking for certain things from his team. All kidding aside, the answer is probably somewhere in between.

Debuting superstar striker Erling Haaland is upstaged by Darwin Núñez during Manchester City's defeat to Liverpool in the Community Shield.

And the Premier League is a brutal kind of theatre. It seems a facile observation, it is also true: the big advantage of not playing with a striker has been that extra man, the extra angles, the extra passing option. City’s starting formation was a fluid 4-1-4-1, with only Rodri and Haaland keeping to a distinct part of the pitch ahead of the defence. It is easy to become blasé, to forget that City play a type of football that is unlike anything else, a pressure wave where the movements repeat and multiply, the parts revolve and elide. For much of the second half at the King Power Stadium, Haaland skulked and mooched in the centre circle. Haaland looked limb-weary by the end of this clammy high-summer Community Shield final, a curtain-raiser for a stage that has scarcely been cleared of tables and men in brown coats.

He's going to give us different things in the sense of a pure No.9, a pure striker. Haaland has been working on scoring a variety of different goals and that was the perfect moment to show that off. Haaland had cleverly broken free of Liverpool’s back four and appeared all set to nod home his first competitive goal since leaving Borussia Dortmund for the club he has followed since childhood. Haaland instead threw a left leg at the cross, the opportunity passed up. One stood out above the rest earlier in the piece, a cross from the left-hand side begging to be dealt with. He powered Andrew Robertson off the ball to force Adrian into a smart save when it felt the Liverpool left back was in very little danger. That sort of directness would see Kevin De Bruyne thriving in behind and it was threatened in brief spells. He came and linked play when City managed to get him involved – but that was not nearly enough, particularly before half-time. Premier League defences will find that out to their cost in the coming months. ‘It is good for him to see the reality in a new country and a new league but he was there.

It probably does none of us much good to peer too hard into the deeper meaning of the purchase of fruit‑flavoured confectionary, but there were warning signs on the pitch on Saturday as well. Haaland is a different case, but then he was always going to be. Or was a mischievous point being made to those at City who look to control every aspect of their squad’s lives? There has been a complete change of the profile of City’s attack and, after its first outing in a semi‑competitive environment, perhaps the politest thing that can be said is that there is a process of adaptation still required on both sides.
