It was a typical Mané brainf*ck. He's that way. The same with his football skills: once in a while he just screws up but the package overall is still top of the worlds. So no biggie for me. But those sissies from FA might ban him, no doubt, 'cause they are passionate to serve a soul-less family-all-are-happy product. Not for me, I am fine even with things Souness did at Anfield when Bukarest was there, if you know what I mean. We will see...if worst case then Shaq is more than capable to jump in.
Mane is an enigma. Many matches, he's the best athlete on the pitch but his soccer sense lacks. Some days it's as if he doesn't understand offside rules. Others, he hangs on to the ball far too long refusing to give it up to a teammate. But when he's right, Mane can be special.
Suarez was an enigma his first year at LFC also. The man could not put his shots on net, he was perpetually offside.
And the next year he clicked
I'm hoping Mane pulls it all together because he could be special.
He delayed his contract extension compared to his front line mates......maybe hoping to display individual talent over team play. Since his contract announcement, I believe he's been more team oriented.
All good!
