“Ole was very blunt about Liverpool with his players and clearly believes they do not have enough to beat City to the title.

“He thinks they are very one dimensional, lacking creativity. He certainly has faith that his team are a better outfit,” a Manchester United source was quoted as saying by The Sun.

Interestingly, Sunday's 0-0 result at against United Old Trafford saw Liverpool return to the top of the Premier League log, but many are still unconvinced about their quality to beat Manchester City to the Premier League title.

At the moment, Liverpool are still at the summit of the log, one point ahead of Pep Guardiola’s City with 11 games to the end of the campaign.

On the other hand, Klopp was also not impressed with his team’s performance on Sunday, with TV images capturing him yelling “F*****g hell, what a s*** game” to Solskjaer as they exchanged pleasantries at the blast of the referee’s final whistle.

During the encounter, despite enjoying 65 per cent ball possession, Liverpool could only account for one shot on target which did not was definitely poor by the Reds standard.

But the spate of injuries that saw man United lose the trio of Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard while Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino suffering an ankle injury after 30 minutes also contributed in the overall quality of the game.

However, Solskjaer has managed to keep a decent record since taking over the reins of power at Old Trafford, winning eight Premier League games from 10.

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
