Sadio Mané

Barnes for 2 seasons was simply the best player I've ever seen. He danced and glided on pitches like veg patches and people trying to kick him on the pitch and abuse him off it. Legend.

Danced like veg patches?

3 seasons surely? 87-88, 88-89, 89-90?

89-90 he started drifting more across the forward line in a more free role than being mostly down the left. Joke that David Platt beat him to the PFA Award that year.

[Rafa Justice]

Barnes was a better player before his injury. Although its been a while. Mane can blow hot and cold. I seem to remember Barnes being more consistant... but even then few games were on the telly

Less games on TV for sure but from 88-89 every Division 1 match had cameras and every goal was shown on TV. Before then the majority of matches had no cameras iirc. For example, the LFC video of 87-88, The Mighty Reds, had goals from less than half of the games. Match of the Day in those days had only two matches and nothing else.

Yes 3 seasons, my mistake.

That bloody achilles injury playing for England against Finland I think. ****ed him. Held a grudge against the national team ever since.

Was that the one with the 5-0 FOrest game in full? Used to watch that VHS over and over again!!

Rightly so

Yes

[BigChief]

Let's not forget Mane. Like Salah he also scored two goals tonight. Unlike Salah, Mane was woeful otherwise.

[SB]

He certainly was. It doesn’t suit him playing central as he’s not got the vision for that position.

Or the ball control. Has his touch always been this bad? I swear it's getting worse.

It’s like his mind is in 4th gear but his feet are still in first

[Fredo]

What the **** you both talking about? Sadio was excellent tonight.
