Dont want to labour on this for too long but I'm glad Mane levelled with him for golden boot. The lad takes too much stock by it. At times hes making poor and selfish choices to get himself the glory.
Never really took much importance by the award and much prefer to see the success of the team taking precedent over individual landmarks.
I'm not against the award but I want to see it won like he did last season within the context of our play and not manufactured through selfish play.
Mane has been just behind VVD for our best player in my opinion and I'm glad he gets the recognition too.
Good point mate.
There were times in the match today where Salah was just going for the Golden Boot. When he tried to force his football like that, it more often than not fails. He is such a naturally brilliant footballer, that he just needs to let go of the tension and pressure, and play his game.
There were also times in the match today when people were calling for Salah to get another goal to get the Golden Boot.
Don't recall seeing the same clamour for Mane, or from Mane. But he has earned it - and it is nice that they both share the acclaim this season. Mane has been brilliant. Well deserved for Salah and Mane. What a statement again - after Salah being such a standout player last season!
