I thought he was really average tonight, a few decent touches aside. When you see the work rate from the rest of the team he seems to be playing at half speed. Also gave the ball away alot unnecessarily.

Same could be said for Salah though. Hopefully, like Salah, Mane starts to at least start getting 1 in 3 good opportunities in the back of the net.
Can’t bench him. Look at the opportunities on the counter and behind defenses we carve out with him running in behind at the same time as Salah. We need him.
You're right, but it's also correct that if it were Bayern or Barca, he would have stronger competition and would be benched any time he's going through a barren spell. There are very few attacking players who are consistently producing goals and assists; Salah might be the only one in this team.
Indeed you are correct. A young fresh charging Ajax or an aging Bayern, hmmm.
I feel far more secure (and we look it) with our current A team 'Back 5' ... but I still bit all my carefully maintained nails off !
I am not really sure why you'd expect him to. In Europe at least he knows how to get the job done, as three CL semis, inc. 2 finals, suggests.
It really could have been either/or as Keita has better ball control and retention whilst Shaq has more energy and pace. Keita does have better defensive stats though so I suppose it makes sense.
I got 'fucking king' ?
Beards are an instant turn off for some women. You just got lucky.
Or just some coaching on how and where. Just hit the target son. When you see players missing the target as much as he does it reminds me of v. Nistelrooy, he scored so many goals because if you watched him most of the time he just hit it hard on target. He didn't curl it, or often place it ... just slammed it.

Liverpool 1 Napoli 0: The Match Ratings
by Ben Johnson | Dec 12, 2018 | 4 comments
Alisson: 9
What can you say about this fucker? I’m fairly sure he is the best keeper I have seen play for Liverpool. Seriously. Pepe Reina was good and that — first few seasons, till his hands disappeared like a Back To The Future photo — but this fella is unreal. His passing, his starting position, his movement, his footwork, the save at the end, everything about him. Untouchable. The best there ever was.
Trent: 8
Fucking hell. Forgot him. The editor has just had to text me there and ask me for some kind of explanation for me literally ignoring him. Er, was sound weren’t he? You try thinking of something new to say every week. He is one of our best players and is probably going to be up there with Gerrard by the time he finishes. Will that do?
Virgil: 8
Was indignantly slaughtering the referee for the absolute tackle there first half, looking at it back mind you, it was possibly a foul, and possibly a great tackle that somehow bent their lad’s leg in half. If he was a normal human centre half you would worry about him getting sent off, but then, he is Virg, and he danced his way through the rest of the game.
Joel: 8
Thought he was excellent again, in fairness. I didn’t think he had it in him. And maybe he doesn’t, but he’s absolutely doing a belter impression of a good centre half at the minute.
Andy Robbo: 8
Imagine him chasing you through the woods. You flicked him the Vs and he clocked you, lashed the handbrake on, opened the door and was on you like a wolf. Reckon, with a minute headstart, you would last four minutes before he caught you. Gutted, you’re literally left you spluttering on your own blood, before he lashes mud on your head, and empties your pockets, walks back to his car muttering something about cheeky English cunts, and then lashes on ABBA’s greatest hits.
Henderson: 7
Thought he was shite there first 20 minutes but the crowd were fucking worse. Slaughtering him for not playing the ball forward, even when it wasn’t on. That said, he looked like a man whose hips had been locked together when he was trying to turn. Much better second half. On the front foot, not as exposed, linking and starting attacks.
Gini: 8
Kept the ball for about eight minutes of the five added on at the end of the game. Could have carried him around for a month on me shoulders when he just kept rolling them. Another performance to add to the catalogue of evidence that suggests that he plays better against better teams.
Milner: 8
Always available for the ball, always willing to take it, keep his shape, legged them all over the gaff. A James Milner-type performance, really.
Mo Salah: 9
Didn’t see his goal there, so mark it yourself. Was discussing Henderson’s ability, or lack thereof, to pass the ball forward with the fella behind me. Amazing what happens when you keep the ball, isn’t it? Looks well stronger than last season, doesn’t he? Looking forward to him getting Sergio Ramos in a million dollar dream and lashing a 20p price in his grid when he lays him out.
Sadio: 7
Probably could have scored six, didn’t fancy it as it wouldn’t have been decisive. Saving himself for Sunday, you know.
Firmino: 7
Back upfront, part of a pack who were relentless on the break. Not quite hitting his stride but there or thereabouts.
SUBS
Brought a load of lads on. Degsi went right back and everyone’s undies disappeared down their throats. All worked out though didn’t it, lad?

Somehow it feels wrong to point out that Allison save was from an offside so it would not count anyway...
I dunno I fully trust Brazilians on the matter here
Matip looks great until he comes up against a tricky quick attacker like Hazard who makes it look like his feet are receiving movement orders down the wire from HQ.
Did the linesman raise his flag?
He came up against Mertens and did well.
That's basically a bootleg Hazard.
Matip is a bootleg vVD
Brilliant.
No. I saw it again. The offside is the situation after. Amazing stuff.
It was a conservative estimate. He should be back before that.
