Been absolutely incredible these past few weeks. Also is it me or does he come back deeper into midfield more these days or has it always been that way? I was re-watching that first half against Man City at Anfield and it's sublime seeing the confusion and bedlam amongst the City folks as one moment it's Mane occupying the hole, then the next it's Firmino and then AOO or even Milner steps forward to have a shot there. And for what it's worth, that 10 minute period between Chamberlain's goal and Mane's (20-30 minutes) in that match is probably the most consistently brilliant 10 minutes I have ever seen us, or any other team for that matter, play. Spread out to the left, spread out to the right, Bobby coming backwards, Bobby going forward, Lovren and VVD heading it forward and picking up their own headers, Hendo and Milner sandwiching every shirt in blue, Robbo and TAA cutting it out and then pinging it forward, Ox harrassing, Salah shining. Perfection.
