Liverpool gaffer Jurgen Klopp has named Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson as the player who has surprised him this season in their campaign in all competitions.

The Reds are currently topping the Premier League standings and have not lost any game this season as they are also in the knock out stage of the Champions League.

After Liverpool's Champions League defeat against Real Madrid in Kiev, the Reds signed Alisson making him the most expensive shot-stopper in the world.

Alisson settled in quickly at Anfield, and has done an incredible job of shoring up the Reds' defense alongside the talented back four.

"Well, maybe that Alisson is such a good football player.

"It was always very clear that he was a very influential player with the ball, but that he's this good I didn't see it, honestly - maybe because of a different style Roma played.

"That was a little bit of a surprise, and a very nice surprise,'' Klopp explained to ESPN Brasil when asked about the player who has surprised him.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported Liverpool gaffer Jurgen Klopp made it clear that his players are not thinking about their gap on the Premier League standings ahead of Thursday's clash against Manchester City.

The 51-year-old German football coach stressed that his wards are ready for the tough Premier League clash against the reigning champions of England.

Klopp and his men are currently leading Manchester City with seven points, and a win for them in three days' time will give them great hope of winning the Premier League title.

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.

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
