AMR Sadio Mane
Mane appears to have firmly put himself as the leader to start on opening day for Liverpool at Arsenal. He just offers something different than Adam Lallana with his pace, directness and superior finishing ability.
Against sides like Barcelona and Arsenal, Liverpool will be out of possession much more than they’ll be on the ball. A player like Mane will strike fear into the other team for when they lose possession, he’ll be in hyperspeed sprinting forward.
Mane has landed well at Liverpool this preseason which is nothing more than a bonus. If the season starts and has a dire run of form, no one will remember he looked good in preseason. But hopefully it serves as a launching pad for his form going into games that actually matter.
