His willingness to run in behind the defence is going to cause a lot of problems for teams.  I knew he was fast but there was a few times last night that i thought he wasn't going to get to the ball but he got there with ease. He is deceptively quick over the first 10/15 yards. 

Just posted the same sort of thing in the Tranmere thread. The sort of players we've had in the past with the ability to inflict that sort of damage on the opposition are some of our finest ever - Keegan, Rushie and Suarez. Defenders despise players like that. They just struggle to cope with them. I'm delighted we've now got another. With players like that there's always the possibility of something happening even in a tight game that can suddenly change the entire complexion of a game. That chase with the goalie for the through ball from Lovren [lovely outside foot pass btw]. Mane never had a cat in hell's chance of getting to it first. The fact he actually did had me leaping out of my seat. Not in the context of this particular game but the thought that we'll be seeing him do the same sort of thing over the next five years or so in games that matter.

Can't really take anything from a pre season friendly, though it's obvious that he's rapid.

If he can replace the threat that Sterling provided with his pace, whilst not having the shot power of an 8 year old, then I'll be happy.

Markovic should not even be a liverpool player ffs. Mane however is rapid. I genuinely think he might be the current best player at the club. It's debatable but after watching how he tore big teams apart at Southampton I personally believe he will be more of an asset than sturridge.

That's pretty harsh on Markovic, seeing as he's a 20 year old winger / attacking midfielder, who was given one season as a wing-back. Personally hope he stays as back up this year. Deserves at least a year and would've got games last year that is certain.

He's going to make us a huge threat on the counter attack, and Leicester showed last season that is hugely important. Having him and Origi playing away from home will be nice to watch.

I remember he broke God's record for fastest hat-trick too, not bad to have on the CV.

What Mane will give us is some much needed pace. We have somehow become a very slow team and it is so important in football to have outlets, particularly when the game is stretched. I am a believer that pace can be a very overrated characteristic but you do need some of it. A little burst can get you away from players or in defences - the likes of Lallana, Coutinho and Firmino don't really have this. Of course, pace must be backed up by technique. There have been plenty of headless chickens with pace down the years. Thankfully Mane seems to have ability as well. The fee was insane but that is how inflated the market has become. I'm confident Klopp will get the best out of Mane.

'Best player' not 'Player of the Season'. If I had a choice of which of the two players I would want fit for every game I know which of the two I would pick. That said, Klopp may reduce Sturridge to a bench role because he wants a striker to press from the front.

It's a cut between sturridge and mane but Coutinho is definitely not the best player in this team. I guess it's down to personal opinions but when we pull up statistics from last season mane edges Coutinho.

I also really don't see the quality in markovic just like Ibe. My personal opinion once again.

That would be great, but you don't challenge for the title on your results against the top eight, you do it by being consistent against the smaller sides. Beat everyone in the bottom twelve, home and away, and you'll be on 72 points. That would get you in the top four even if you lost every single match v the top eight.

Good to see Klopp trying out Mane on the left and Markovic on the right. Wonder if he will test Coutinho in the middle. The Brazilian could really excel in a central position to pull the strings with fast/intelligent  players running ahead of him such as Mane, Markovic and Origi/Sturridge.

I really like what I saw when Mane played more on the left in previous teams. I think he is better on that side.

Whether Markovic gets ahead of Milner/Lallana on the right will depend on how he settles back in and adjusts to the pressing & quick transition game. If Klopp keeps him which is likely as Ibe might go, then maybe further into the season he'll get that opportunity.

From watching him at Southampton and in pre-season I see him as a similar player to Sterling with more strength and better finishing.  Which shouldn't be a negative. Sterling at Liverpool certainly looked like one of the best players in his age group. If he can provide what Sterling did plus a few extra goals I will be happy.
