Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has made it clear that it will be hard for his wards to retain their Premier League title if they should suffer a defeat against Liverpool in their next tie.

The Etihad landlords have not been finding it rosy this season in the Premier League losing three games and they are occupying second position with seven points behind leaders Liverpool.

On Sunday, December 30, Manchester City defeated Southampton, and Guardiola said that the title race would have been over if his wards had not beaten their last opponents.

“In the position of Liverpool, we drop points, it’s over. It’s finished. It would be almost impossible. Of course I think they’re going to drop points, but not too many.

''If we want to be there as far as possible until the end, we have to win games.

"The problem in the other team is fantastic. Maybe the best team in Europe or the world right now and in top form. You have to accept it.

“When Liverpool is seven points in front it’s because they don’t lose a game, they don’t concede, they start in incredible form, top players, all together four or five years with Jurgen Klopp,'' Guardiola explained according to Telegraph.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are still unbeaten this season and they are topping the Premier League table with 54 points after 20 games played this season.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Premier League defending champions Manchester City returned to winning ways for the first time since December 15 following their 3-1 win over Southampton at Saint Mary's Stadium.

A goal each from David Silva and Sergio Aguero, including an own goal from James Ward Prowse handed the champions maximum points in the meeting.

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 We have called the first phase that of the pioneers.

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
