Garth Crooks makes claim about Liverpool's Sadio Mane

Former Tottenham player and BBC pundit Garth Crooks claims that Liverpool are being "carried" by Sadio Mane. Mane has been a key part to Jurgen Klopp's side over the years. During this season the Senegalese has scored 9 games in 14 appearances so far. And Crooks thinks that Mane is "carrying Liverpool on his shoulders". Crooks told BBC Sport: "Two seasons ago it was Mo Salah who was carrying Liverpool. Last season it was Virgil van Dijk who had a massive influence on the success of the team. "This season it's Sadio Mane who is carrying Liverpool on his shoulders. His speed, power and strength have been a feature of Liverpool's play this season and without the Senegal international, life at the top would be considerably less comfortable. "It was Mane who caused mayhem in Tottenham's ranks the entire match and the reason they lost. With a little help from Serge Aurier, of course."  via LiverpoolEcho
