Klopp throw shades at Mourinho, calls him 'the best manager in the world' ahead of the Liverpool and Man United showdown

- Jurgen Klopp plays mind games with his opposite number Jose Mourinho

- The Liverpool boss says the Manchester United manager is the best in the world

- Both teams will square off at Anfield in a Premier League blockbuster on Sunday

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has called under fire Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho “the most successful manager in the world” as both manager's sides prepare for a showdown at Anfield.

Mourinho has earlier taken a slight dig at the German manager about his failure to win trophies since becoming boss at the Merseyside club.

But the ex-Dortmund gaffer showed his class when he said: “Manchester United never ever show a lack of ambition. Mourinho is the most successful manager in the world and that’s how it is.

“I’m aware of the criticism but we switch off because there’s a lot of quality, speed and technique and they have pretty much everything.”

The Reds have remain unbeaten after 16 games this season while United are 16 points off the pace as they occupy sixth place.

But the former Chelsea boss who has won three trophies since joining the Old Trafford outfit hopes to end Liverpool's unbeaten streak.

Mourinho said: “It depends on the way you approach it. I think trophies matter, yeah. I think it matters, especially when you have the potential to fight for trophies.

“And especially when you clearly say that the objective is to win the trophy. I think sometimes just to say is not very intelligent.

“But when you have the potential, you have nothing to hide, you know from day one that your potential and your desire has a relation with the potential.”

Klopp's men are closely followed by Manchester City at the top of the table yet they have made no secret of their title ambitions this campaign.

Mourinho said: “To say we want to win - everyone can say that - but another thing is to say in a conscious way in relation to the potential you have.

“I don’t read much but I think Jurgen told already they want to win the Premier League, is their objective.”

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
