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". 

Why an injury to Roberto Firmino could end Liverpool's Premier League title chase

Jurgen Klopp once said Roberto Firmino is the world best striker and he wasn't wrong with that statement. Firmino might not be so prolific, he has something rarely seen in modern strikers.  He presses the opposition relentlessly, link up play intelligently and creates goalscorer chances for others. His on and off ball movement is exceptionally good. His daft touches, feints and close control are so good its reminiscent of Brazil legend Ronaldo Dilma.  What makes him really good his tenacious running and carve a goal-scoring opportunities for his strike partners- Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.  Do you know out of 50 goals Sadio Mane have scored for Liverpool, Firmino have assisted or have a hand in 32 of those goals. And out of the 76 goals Mohamed Salah has scored for Liverpool,  Firmino has assisted 35 of those goals.  Without him, Liverpool would've struggled to win all eight matches this season. Cause frankly, they don't have any other striker that c...
