Yeah he's decent, like another poster said he's benefiting from your system.
We Need To Talk About Mane
- Thread starter KingMinger22
- Start date
My system? You think I'm Klopp?
Dear god he’s overrated.
He caught you red-handed, Jurgen.
You know what i meant.
Still remember how people claimed he wasn't good enough for us. So annoying he went to the Scouse. Such a good player.
Absolute class finish.
He is the one I wished we bought from Southampton. Like many wingers he can be inconsistent but I love his style and he is a big game player.
Hands down, that goal is class technique, class decision making and class finishing.
Enough of this, please Bayern, send the feckers out

Better than Salah
My throat has still not recovered from the amount of crap Redcafe shoved down it that Coutinho was our best player. Despite Mane being better than him every season.
i always laugh at clowns who claimed he was 'not good enough' for United
world class. very underrated.
Cafe thought he wasn't good enough for united? Really? He was exactly what we needed.
Yes. But when has that ever stopped the cafe?
How many goals is he on at the moment? He’s banging them in lately and it’s ruined my fantasy team. But the second I take out Salah he’ll stop scoring.
C’mon Real/PSG/Bayern/anyone... do the right thing!
Ps. Fairly certain that most caf members rated Mane at Southampton and thought we were daft not to go for him

He's the Thomas Muller of Liverpool, looks like he has a crap touch most of the time but somehow still manages to score goals and contribute a good amount offensively. I haven't rated him very highly before but no doubt he's been a great player this season for them.
I remember there being outrage that we were linked with Mane after it became apparent that we weren't signing Pedro.
Manes technique is excellent and he's a top dribbler. Nothing like muller
The number of times he breaks away from the last line of defence is incredible.
I disagree with that, he's dribbling is very inconsistent and many times I've seen him miss a chance because of poor technique. If you are trying to say Muller's technique is poor, while Mane's is excellent, then I can point to a number of great goals he's scored where he's shown off his technique (2010 vs Roma, 2014 vs USA). I think Mane's best strength, like Muller, is to be in the right place in the right time to create chances offensively. He's intelligent in how to move into space and execute.

even saw some comparisons with montero and bolasie
I am saying they are stylistically nothing alike.
Mane's strong suit is his individual ability. He's the most likely to pull a rabbit out of a hat from nowhere when the team isn't playing well,because of his dribbling.
He's mercurial sure, and can go through periods where his touch is off but there aren't many wingers out there with comparable ball control.
Next you'll be saying Suarez is like muller too, because he has an inconsistent touch.
Damn, I voted Nay.here it is

His goals have compensated for Salah's dip in form. Didn't see that coming, fair play to him.
Most importantly though, why the feck is the first letter of every word in the thread name capitalised?
I would never say Suarez is even close to Muller, Suarez is one of the most technically accomplished players of this decade.
Mane is far more like Suarez in style than he is muller.
Nothing like Suarez though.

Well, as I said earlier, we can agree to disagree on this. I've always felt Mane to be one of the most frustrating players to watch in the Liverpool team because of how he can move from extremely poor to amazing in quick time. An example being the goal he scored lately, his first touch was absolutely horrendous but then had the presence of mind to backheel the ball in
He's the perfect Klopp player, pure hustle and bustle with moments of quality. He wanted him at Dortmund as well when Mane was at Salzburg.
Suarez was obviously a much better player and had more to his game as well.
In terms of style, Mane has more similarities to Suarez than he does muller, in the sense that he's an excellent dribbler who goes through periods of having an erratic touch, but whose individual ability is nonetheless one of his strongest assets.
Ok, Mane has been in great goal-scoring form recently and deserves praise.
If played up top he could be a better dribbling version of Eto'o.
I rate Mane and I wanted us to sign him, but Eto'o was different class.
Not saying he wasn't, just saying the type of player Mane could be if used differently.
Would you play him as a lone striker, or a second striker then? Not saying it wouldn't work, I'm very fond of the player but I'm not sure I see the comparison completely.
As a striker, a 9. We've seen Klopp experiment with Salah there I think it would work better with Mane instead. He's better with his back to goal, he's as explosive and pretty good in terms of creating space for a shot.
Eto'o had a similar shape and athletic prowess. Fantastic movement and great finishing. I mean, in that system they run they have an attacking mid basically playing as a false 9. It's far from what you'd think of conventionally.
Last time Firmino was out, it was mane in the centre with salah and origi wide of him. Worked alright.
The thing about mane is he has the talent to be as good as he wants to be. He always puts in the shift, but if he figures out how to turn it on more regularly and flat track bully those who should be flat track bullied he's player of the year material

Yeah, I can see that. Only problem is he can be quite erratic when he is out of form which might count against him in that position. But I agree he would be a better option to Salah in that position.
