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.

Marco Materazzi is right! Barcelona is no longer a team but a one man club

Take out Lionel Messi from Barcelona and you will be marveled how low the club have fallen. The Bluagrana giants no longer have the spine that won they trophies and made them the most dominant club in the world. Right now, everything depends on Messi and how fit he is. He is expected to be back against Inter Milan and once again lead Barcelona to victory. Leo is the world best player, some might agree with that statement others might disagree but ever since he burst into the world scene 15 years ago, he has always been and continues to be the best. Most Barcelona coach have been tempted to let Messi do everything but the smart one's realized over time that Messi is not the team but just an integral part of it. They understood they have to promote talented players from their academy {Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez, Sergio Busquet, Gerard Pique and so on..} or sign superstars like {Ivan Rakitic, Jordi Alba, Ter- Stegan, Luis Suarez and others} to help Messi and Barcelona wi...

Revealed: The only reason Sadio Mane will ditch Liverpool for PSG

PSG are reportedly monitory Liverpool's sensational attacker Sadio Mane who they feel possess the world class ability to replace Neymar.  Neymar will certainly rejoin Barcelona, it is just a matter of time and PSG don't want to be on the losing side and have already began holding talks with Sadio's agent. Signing Mane won't be easy, he is currently playing for the best club in the world; have lots of friends at Anfield who are mostly Africans and have lifted the biggest trophy in European football- The Champions League.  You can say he is very relaxed at Liverpool and loves the type of football they currently play.  The 27-year-old Senegalese international was once asked about leaving Liverpool, he replied:  "Why would i want to leave Liverpool?  "The way they play i can't see any team beating them and i really don't want to be facing them with another team".  Mane is right with that assertion, Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool is very h...
