Fact or fiction: Is Liverpool becoming dependent on Sadio Mane?

Image
Sadio Mane is the world's best left back, debatable, but a vast majority of Liverpool fans will agree that he is outstanding and a leader in front of the pack. 

He fights for the team; puts his body on the line to get maximum points and wouldn't mind picking a fight with his teammates, opposition and even the coaching staff. Mane is born winner and his display proves it. 

Former Tottenham and Manchester Untied forward Garth Crooks feels Liverpool are relying heavily on the Senegalese international. 

Why, he has scored nine goals and providing three assists in 14 appearances and he was the reason they defeated Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. Both games would've ended draws had Mane not gone down in the box. 

Mane just knows Liverpool won't win it if he doesn't put his body on the line and he those. 

"Two seasons ago it was Mohamed Salah who was carrying Liverpool", Crooks told BBC Sports. 

"Last season it was Virgil van Dijk who had a massive influence on the success of the team. This season it's Sadio Mane who is carrying Liverpool on his shoulders. His speed, power and strength have been a feature of Liverpool's play this season and without the Senegal international, life at the top would be considerably less comfortable. 

"It was Mane who caused mayhem in Tottenham's ranks the entire match and the reason they lost. With a little help from Serge Aurier, of course". 

Mane is very important to Liverpool's set up but he is not Liverpool's most dominant player. The Jurgen Klopp's team is more reliant on Virgil van Dijk {best defender in the world}, Roberto Firmino {he links up attack and create chances for Mane, Salah and everyone}or Alexander Arnold {his set pieces, free-kicks, cross field pass and crosses are just exceptional}. 

Put this way, Sadio Mane very, very important to Liverpool but, the present team is so strong that it doesn't have to rely on a single player like in the past to create chances or score goals before they win games. 

With or without Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino or Mohamed Salah in the starting line up this present Liverpool squad can boast of having at least 6 world class players.

Injury blow: Pep Guardiola confirms Ederson will miss Liverpool clash

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Ederson will miss the trip to Anfield due to any injury..  He will be replaced by Claudio Bravo who he says is a good keeper and a two times Copa America winner with Chile.  Asked during his press conference if Ederson will be fit for the clash, Guardiola said: "He is not able to play tomorrow.  "On Sunday he cannot play. We have another top keeper. We won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup thanks to Claudio. He is an exceptional goalkeeper".  Asked if Manchester City are not vulnerable without Ederson deputizing in-between the sticks, Klopp replied angrily.  "Why should i not be confident about my players and my team? Why do you like ask me this questions? "I see him every day in training. We won't lose from Claudio. You have to respect him. He won the Copa America, respect that guy, he's an incredible goalkeeper". 

Maurizio Sarri wins the mentality battle: Cristiano Ronaldo is back to his best for Juventus

Muarizio Sarri wanted a statement from Cristiano Ronaldo now he has. Ronaldo has fired Portugal to brink of Euro 2020 qualification after scoring a hat-trick {his 56th career hat-tick} in Portugal's 6-0 win over Lithuania.  The 34-year-old has now scored 98 International goals in 163 games and looks likely to reach a century when Portugal take on Luxembourg on Sunday.  Sarri thought for moment he could be the coach to close the book on Ronaldo, the man who will finally tell Cristiano Ronaldo; 'You're just not good enough and have to sit on the bench or leave'.  But how wrong was he, Ronaldo posses a giant mentality and hates to be told he is not good enough to play or last the entire match.. Against Lithuania, it sparked him back to live and give him another reason to keep fighting and proving to each and everyone who doubted him that he is the best player in the world. Put it this way, Ronaldo's rebirth is good news not just to Portugal but to Juventus and Ma...
