What a pass to Robbo.

Was a thing of beauty. Having an excellent season, unlucky not to have a few more goals to his name too

What a pass to Robbo.

Funny thing is, he over hit every through ball on Saturday apart from that one.

Here's hoping for another Goodison goal this week.

Aye, motm performance.

When Mane and Robbo are on fire, it's over for the opponents. They make that left side a living hell for the opponents.

Agreed... Understand and agree with the raving about Salah and Trent on the right side, but Sadio and Robbo seem to do everything a bit quicker, it's as though the one knows what the other will do three or four seconds before it transpires.

Another great game from Mane. He will explode with goals soon.

If he keeps creating chances like that then we're all happy, was a pity Godfrey made that great last ditch block, don't think Sadio did anything wrong there.

He had a great game, absolutely destroying Everton who couldn't just live with his movement.

Thought he was really good today. Just looked like he could beat their full-back and do that left foot dinked cross whenever he wanted. Pressing on point as usual as well. Nightmare to play against even when he's not at his absolute best.

Oh, and he finds Robertson/Tsimikas on those over/underlaps everytime. Really underrated passer.

blamski · « **Reply #11529 on:** December 11, 2021, 07:32:01 pm »

Its hard to believe he hasn't scored for a while, because everything else he's doing is just immense. Pure menace down the left hand side. Maybe he could cut out the back heels to nobody though

He is effective at the moment - a solid 6/ 7 out of 10 most weeks - but for me he is still below the world class level he was 2 seasons ago when his first touch seemed a lot more assured and he would skin defenders more frequently than what he currently does.

RedForeverTT · « **Reply #11531 on:** December 12, 2021, 09:45:49 am »

He was affected by a lack of consistent partnership, notably the Gini situation.

He had his best season in 17/18 and 18/19 when Gini and Robertson was playing triangles with him but last season when Fab was asked to become a defender, Henderson and Gini was also shuffled around and Mane ended up with some times Curtis Jones, Keita or Thiago.

While Salah has a constant group on his right side with Trent and Henderson, Mane had to do with a injury prone Keita and for last couple of matches Thiago that plays deeper and more centrally. This is very different to Gini and how Mane likes it.

Until Curtis comes back to help him out on the left, he might never rediscover his old form again.

I don't know about "making do" with Naby, I thought they dovetailed really well. If Naby can get a consistent run then I think Sadio will really benefit from having him and Robbo alongside him.

He enjoyed his walk around the pitch in front of the Kop yesterday following his substitution! Big smile on his face

They do if only Naby could stay fit to form a consistent partnership. Mane has been sold short this and last season.

Really enjoying the interplay between Trent, Hendo and Salah this season. Like a rotating triangle. Would like to see Mane, Robbo and Thiago do that more. Wonder if it's limited by Robbo being pretty stuck to a left foot?

Thought the interplay between Mane and Robbo has been poor this year but it was really good on Saturday. Hopefully they can push on now.

It hasn't been that poor but poorer than the seasons that Gini has been here. Thiago just isn't that kind of player that runs toward the left channel to support Robertson and Mane.

Curtis would have been the better option to play to Mane's strength. Hope he starts tonight.

KirkVanHouten · « **Reply #11539 on:** December 17, 2021, 02:05:30 am »

He's the perfect example of why players go down when they feel contact. He plays as fairly and honestly as any player I've seen and he gets absolutely no reward for it. For our second goal, he's fouled from behind by their last man, it's a possible penalty and red card. If he swan dives there he guarantees it and yet he plays on and gets the shot off as he's falling. Yet I watch him get consistently fouled and manhandled every game and he gets fuck all from refs.

The massive grin on him when Mo scored.

His work rate last night was very impressive. He just never stopped. High tempo and high class.

BarryCrocker · « **Reply #11543 on:** December 17, 2021, 06:07:31 am »

How he got a header on the free-kick from TAA in the 2nd half I don't know. Threw himself at everything (except the ground) and hassled for everything.

royhendo · « **Reply #11544 on:** December 17, 2021, 08:35:20 am »

He's so good at staying on his feet (same as Mo) isn't he?

He got his shot away after being fouled for Mo’s goal but what would have happened had the ball rebounded somewhere else? Would it have been brought back for the foul?

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #11546 on:** December 17, 2021, 11:20:03 am »

I was saying that last night, even though we got the advantage, Dean should still have gone back and retrospectively booked (sent off possibly) their fella.

totally. I read a few moans here and there and i was just scratching my head. It was his cross for Jotas goal, then the athletic skill involved to STAY on his feet and somehow get a shot away was just unreal and led directly to mo's goal, and his incredible running was dragging people about all night. Hes been a fox in a henhouse for some time now, really playing well.

Judging my Mike Dean's overall performance last night I think you have to say "yes." We're quick to criticise refs for fucking up, but Mike Dean got every big call right last night - with the possible exception of the two-handed shove on Oxlade-Chamberlain.

I loved Sadio's determination to get his shot in.

He finished the game poorly which will change how you perceive his performance. Plus his assists arent documented as assists so easier to forget. Majority of the game he was electric. I enjoyed his through balls to the underlapping Robbo, seems a more common occurrence than a few years ago.

Rubbish performance. Should be dropped for the next game. Couldn't even hit the target when through on goal.

Players miss good chances. The bigger issue is how little we did for the entirety of the 2nd half aside from that chance.

I have no issue with our players missing chances. For example, Salah probably won't score every pen but his "finish" on that one-on-one was embarrassing. At least work the goalie.

7 games without a goal or assist in the league.

Gives the ball away so cheaply at times.
