Liverpool are in great form with a number of players playing well, but despite that Garth Crooks believes that Sadio Mane is carrying the side, an argument several fans have rejected.
The BBC pundit praised the Senegal international for his contribution against Tottenham on Sunday, stating that he caused problems for the visitors and has now taken over the mantle from Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk as the Reds’ most important player.

For some supporters it is a rather bewildering assertion, as they believe each one of their players is making a valuable contribution, with the fact they have won nine out of ten league games evidence of that.
In addition, they have seven players nominated for the Ballon d’Or this year, including Mane, whilst Salah has scored only one less than his attacking teammate, so it is understandable that fans oppose Crooks’ claim.
Many of the Anfield faithful want the whole team to receive the recognition they believe is deserved, with some claiming Mane is only so effective because of his teammates, as the following reactions show.
