MOST Liverpool fans will already feel they know a lot about Sadio Mane from his time at Southampton, whereas Joël Matip — previously of Schalke — may be slightly less familiar. JOSH SEXTON spoke to African football expert Mansour Loum to get the...
SADIO Mane is a Liverpool player then. Rumour has it that he was vetoed by Brendan Rodgers two years ago after his statistics were put through the committee’s algorithm and the results came out favourably. We’ll never know if this is true or not but it could be that...
