Sadio Mane: Our top form is still to come

Liverpool still have more gears to move through in the decisive months of the season, insists Sadio Mane.
The Reds are well placed ahead of the resumption of their campaign at home to Leicester City on Wednesday night, with a four-point lead at the top of the Premier League and a Champions League last-16 tie against Bayern Munich to look forward to.

Looking at our local weather forecast for Wednesday our game could possibly be postponed because of snow.

 

We will see i suppose. It'd have to be a wee bit worse than a drop.

 

Snow much more likely on Thursday, lad

 

Supposed to be heavy snow, it's not the stadium that dictates it, it's the pavements on the approaches to the ground.

 

I remember the last one... was it 2 or 3 years ago? that was certainly only due to surrounding area as the pitch was perfect and stadium ready.

what game was that?

TBH we will see.... I have a sneaking suspicion its not going to be all that this week.

 

I hope you're right, it was a weather warning I got this morning on my phone.

 

was this the last one?

I'm sure last year no game of ours was postponed? I beleive they forced everton and newkie to play us last year and no mention of life threatening ice.

I recall this one as it was for the soft southern nancys.

 

VVD a doubt apparently. Be a huge blow if he misses out with the lack of defenders for atm
