Sadio Mane is a superhero and 5 things we learnt as Liverpool beat Aston Villa 2-1

Image
What a comeback! Liverpool have beaten Aston Villa 2-1 to maintain their unbeaten start to the season. 

The game was good to watch as both side created chances and had attempts on goal. Aston Villa found the back of the net from a set piece scored by Mahmoud Hassan who found the back of the net with a good strike. 

65 minutes and Aston Villa still had the ascendancy which forced Jurgen Klopp to take off Mohamed Salah, Gini Wijnaldum and later Adam Lallana for Oxlade Chamberlian, Divock Origi and Naby Keita. 

All three changes might Liverpool had to go for the kill and boy! did they.. In the 87th minute, a sublime cross from Sadio Mane found Andrew Robertson who powered in the equalizer and later, Mane finished the rest with a fantastic header.. 

Liverpool win and now have six points lead over Manchester City who they play next at Anfield. 
Image Here are the five things we learnt

1. Sadio Mane is a super hero but he has to stop going down easily- 

What a display from Sadio Mane.. He was brilliant today and his assist and goal just goes to prove how important he has become for Liverpool. 

Mohamed Salah and Van Dijk might be the two players everybody talks about but Mane is certainly Liverpool's best game changer. He never stops running, fighting and scoring goals. 
Image
2. Andrew Robertson needs to add more goals to his game- 

Robertson is arguably the best left back in the world. . He posses everything a modern day left back needs to have.. He is fast, strong, technically good,  can cross, link up play and above all, he scores goals. 

He now needs to add more goals to his game to compete with legends of the games. 

3. Oxlade Chamberlian needs to start against Manchester City and not the predictable Jordan Henderson- 

Klopp has to start James Milner, Fabinho and Oxlade Chamberlian against Manchester City.. Why? Milner and Fabinho covers more grounds than any more other player in the team while Chamberlian is a goal threat.. 

Chamberlian is more like Steven Gerrard, always dribbling, running at defenders and once their's space to shoot, he will shoot from any distance. He is completely different from Jordan Henderson who is very predictable and often go for the safe passes and rarely shoots. 
Image 4. Dejan Lovren and Alexander Arnold needs to improve defensively- 

Both players have to improve defensively if Liverpool are to end their 30-year wait to lift the Premier League title. 

Aston Villa might now have the attackers to punish mistakes but players make but against a better team like Manchester City, those two have to be cautious of their passes or clearances. 

5. Aston Villa is a good team and they will remain in the Premier League- 

No disrespect to the other teams that lost to Liverpool, Aston Villa was just better than them. They weren't scared of Liverpool, they really believed they could beat Liverpool. 

They didn't plan to draw, nope! they wanted to win which frankly is incredible. If they can play any other team like they played Liverpool, i bet you they will finish in the Europa League places.

Liverpool 2-1 Crystal: Firmino is no average striker and 5 things we learnt

Another game, another victory, Liverpool have finally discovered how to grind out results even when playing way below average.  Palace were good to watch, they stopped Liverpool's swashbuckling football in the first 15 minutes of play and put them to the sword by scoring the first goal only for VAR {Video Assistant Referee} to choke it off.  The first half might have ended in stalemate but the second half saw Liverpool take the initiative through Sadio Mane whose snap shot evaded everyone and found the back of the net.  Wilfred Zaha did restore parity to keep Palace fans believing but in the dying minute, Firmino scored the winning goal to put Liverpool 2-1 up and eight points clear of Leicester City.  Here are the five things we learnt:  1. Van DIjk is a monster, he is a world class defender-  Where will Liverpool be without Van Dijk? Porbably in 7th place or most likely 10th. He won every aerial ball, tussled with Jordan Ayew and came out on ...

Redknapp: Pep Guardiola is not 'playing mind games, he is afraid of SADIO MANE'

Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has bruised aside the assertion that Pep Guardiola was playing mind games or attempting to have dig at Sadio Mane.  Guardiola is afraid of Sadio Mane knowing he is Liverpool's most dangerous player. The Senegalese international is the star man at Anfield, he has scored 10 goals with 6 assists in just 15 games this season..  He has contributed to 7 wins this season by either scoring the winning goal or having a hand in scoring the winner. Redknapp feels Pep Guardiola is very worried about Mane and the danger he will pose when City visit Anfield in the weekend.  "Hearing Pep Guardiola mention Sadio Mane and diving was surprising", Redknapp told Daily Mail. "It is unusual to hear a manager say that about a rival player, but i don't think it was Guardiola trying to wind up Mane ahead of this Sunday's showdown at Anfield. It wasn't an attempt at mind games, or a deliberate dig. I believe Guardiola genuinely f...

But a defeat will be catastrophic, Jurgen Klopp and his team will be under immerse pressure from the press who will instantly judge their credibility.  Benitez don't want to see that happen but warns Liverpool against complacency.  "Liverpool are six points clear at the top of the Premier League and they are favourities to win the title. It has been a long time coming", Benitez told Sky Sports.  "Jurgen Klopp's side have the intensity, they have the quality, they can play counter-attack or they can sustain their attacking. They have a lot of very good players and they're extremely com...

The Reds are unstoppable and 5 things we learnt in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Chelsea

Consistency, defensive solidity, rhythm, intensity and loads of goals pretty much sums of Liverpool at moment.  The Reds defeated Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to a sensational free-kick from Alexander Arnold before a brilliant header from Firmino. Chelsea did pull back a goal through N'Golo Kante before they're inability to finish off chances might Liverpool where going ot make it 15 consecutive wins in a spin and their 7 away victory in the Premier League. Here are the five things we learned: 1. Liverpool can't keep clean sheets- Liverpool's 3-0 win over Burnley is the only clean sheet they've managed to keep all season which frankly needs to improve. Jurgen Klopp might now care at the moment but he knows if he is to win the Champions League he has to keep clean sheets at home and score away 2. Chelsea must ditch zonal marking and focus on man to man marking- The ease in which Roberto Firmino scored Liverpool's first goal of the night ...

Manchester City keeper Ederson sustains injury against Atalanta and could miss Liverpool clash

Ederson have picked a muscular problem during Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Atalanta.  Pep Guardiola has now confirmed that initial diagnosis aren't that serious but with Liverpool looming in the horizon, he decided to substitute him for the shaky Claudio Bravo.  "I don't know right now", Guardiola told the press when asked about Ederson's injury.  "It was not big but to avoid risk. He didn't feel comfortable in the last minutes and that's why we decided to make a substitution".  Guardiola will be hoping now Ederson gets fit enough to play against Liverpool having watched Bravo concede a goal in just four minutes of introduction before receiving a red card for mistimed tackle.

Pep Guardiola reacts to Manchester United vs Liverpool 1-1 draw

Pep Guardiola has revealed he had more things to worry about than watching Manchester United battle with Liverpool at Old Trafford.  Guardiola didn't watch the game cause he felt like many other manager that Liverpool was just superior to United if they were to play their best team {with Mohamed Salah} in it.  It did end 1-1 and Guardiola will be happy to know his team are now 6 points adrift of Liverpool.  Asked what he thought about the clash between Liverpool and Manchester United, Guardiola replied:  "I didn't watch it", Guardiola said during his press conference.

Yesterday i was engaged in personal issues".  Focusing on Gasperini and Atalanta, he said:  "What i said about Sarri i could say about Gasperini, i was lucky enough to meet him before.  "Having seen what Atalanta did last year and what they're doing this season is incredible.

Scholes: Liverpool have done something Manchester United have never done

Manchester United legend Paul Scoles has lavished praises on Liverpool who is said have already wrapped up the Premier League title.  Scholes can't see anybody catching Liverpool this season who are 13 points off Leicester City and 14 points off reigning champions Manchester City.  The scary part of Liverpool's is that they could move 16 points clear of second place Leicester City if they beat West Ham in their outstanding match.  "I don't think we'd {Manchester United} ever won it by Christmas", Scholes told Premier League Productions.  "This team- look it's game over, there's nobody {who is going to catch them}. I think the question now is how many points they going to win it by, i think they're so good.  "City have a team if any team could get anywhere near them but i don't expect that to happen. I just think Liverpool are too good. I think the biggest fight we've got now this season is probably the relegation fight ...

10 years without a trophy! Its time Harry Kane ditch Tottenham Hotspur

Last season was memorable, Tottenham Hotspur were very close to lifting their first ever Champions League trophy. If they had won it, Spurs would've been the dream club of every elite player.  Superstars all over the world would've joined at the opportunity to play for them while the likes of Christian Eriksen, Vertonghen, Ross and others won't hesitate to extend their contract. But the defeat to Liverpool was sour and the bitter taste have lingered on till this very day.  Spurs have dropped to a level of mediocrity never seen before and questions are beginning to be asked about the manager's commitment to the club's course as well as players.  The top players are running down their contract with the view of moving else where there's a realistic chance of winning trophies.  That idea of leaving has gobsmacked Harry Kane who now knows he might never win a single trophy with Spurs despite having Mauricio Pochettino as his manager.  Why? Tott...

Can Manchester United really get a point or a win against Liverpool at Old Trafford?

How do you beat Liverpool? A question Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his coaching staff will have to find a solution in just two weeks time.  That solution to beating Liverpool will save Solskjaer job, reinvigorate his team and off course, make the blue half of Manchester love him.. He might even get a congratulatory call from Pep Guardiola.  But achieving that fate will hard. Liverpool are unbeaten in 8 games and are in a run of 17 consecutive wins. If they beat United at Old Trafford they will equal Manchester City's 18 match winning streak.  Liverpool's away form is terrifying, they've won their last eight away matches, scoring 15 goals while conceding just 4 goals. In over 48 matches, only Manchester City have succeeded in beating them and that was last season.  Put this way, Liverpool don't lose Premier League matches, the best you can get from them is a draw but even that draw is very hard to get.  United though will see the return of Aaron Wan- Bissa...
