Coping with Salah's Absence

Liverpool pair Mane and Salah adding to their value at the AFCON
No further proof is required to show that Liverpool has two of the best African players and maybe two of the best in the world right now in Sadio Mane and Mohammed Salah. It was surely cries of joy, a bit of frustration and immense pride for the Kopites and the team from the red side of Merseyside, as their two superstars led their respective national teams to the finals of the African Nations Cup.

How Will Liverpool Cope With The Upcoming AFCON?
The Premier League title race looks set to be another unrelenting one for the teams involved. Following Manchester United’s recent run of results, it looks likely to be a battle between Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea to win the Premier League title this season.
However, the Reds are likely to face a huge challenge over the winter period, as they will be forced to play Premier League fixtures without some of their biggest stars, as they will be playing for …

Nice free kick from Salah. Strikes it really well for his second goal of …
Sadio Mane’s Struggles Continue At Liverpool
This time last year, Sadio Mane looked a potentially better signing for Barcelona than Philippe Coutinho. That’s how good he was.
The Senegalese’s departure for the Africa Cup of Nations in January was a fatal blow to Liverpool’s season, and their title bid fizzled out completely without their destroyer-in-chief around.
Come the end of the campaign, Mane had deservedly scooped Liverpool’s Player of the Year award, following a wonderful start to his time at Anfield.
The 25-year-old started 2017/18 in …
What are Liverpool's transfer requirements this summer?
There is a multitude of content available in relation to transfer rumours and deals this summer, whether they be prospective, completed or just idly speculated upon; but for the purposes of this article, I want you to forget potential target names and forget price tags. I know that is a difficult thing to do with your favourite team, especially given that football is such an emotive sport and the passion and personal investment involved in being a supporter. We all …
One Year of Sadio Mané
It's been a year since Sadio Mané joined Liverpool, and in that time he has defied and surpassed all expectations.
In his first season, the 25 year old scored 13 league goals and provided 5 assists in 26 games; we can only speculate how impressive his statistics would have been if not for Mané getting injured near the end of the season, and being called up to the Senegal national team for the African Cup of Nations.
His signing was …
Second-Season Masterclass From Magic Mane?
Some players take a while to adjust at a club of Liverpool’s stature, with the enormous pressure on them every minute of every day something they cannot cope with.
For Sadio Mane, however, his Reds career could barely have got off to a better start.
Having arrived in relatively low-key circumstances last summer, with the 25-year-old labelled as “just another Southampton player”, some exciting pre-season performances gradually saw him gain admirers.
Then, on his official Liverpool debut, Mane decided to …
Mahrez On The Move: Should Liverpool Be On Alert?
Signing for a fee of £400,000 in 2014 from Le Havre, Riyad Mahrez played a key part in Leicester’s unexpected Premier League title win in 2015/16. The 26-year-old scored a total of 15 goals in the top flight that season, with another 10 goals and seven assists to his name this season. A campaign with two very different fortunes saw The Foxes finish 12th in the league but get further than any other English team in reaching the Champions League …
Tale of Liverpool's Season: Doubters to Believers
Jürgen Klopp had one true ambition this season. Turning doubters into believers.
An impressive pre-season, capped off with a 4-0 demolition of Barcelona at a sold-out Wembley Stadium had expectations running high already. But it was the 4-3 victory over Arsenal in the very first game of the season that really got people talking.
Sadio Mané was the replacement for Raheem Sterling that Liverpool FC had so desperately needed. Roberto Firmino was well and truly into his groove, Gini Wijnaldum's …
