    Not Prem so purely nostalgia reasons;

    Italia 90 for me the best World Cup ever and a 38 year old Roger Milla...

    Yes, it’s Mane.

    Scousers still don’t realise how good he is. He’s the complete package. World class.

    Funny, that. My son’s description of his ability to change pace and direction without warning - “He’s like a house fly”.

    1 Champions League so far. Unlikely that he’ll ever reach 4 PL titles, but I certainly wouldn’t bet against at least one more CL winners medal, which would put him in front of Drogba (who was a wonderful striker) on one score.

    I have as much reason as you really, to resent Mane and Liverpool. They’re a joy to watch though.

    Mane’s top drawer mate, but he’s not yet the best African player the PL has seen.

    He scored one of the best goals I’ve ever witnessed at Goodison.

    He was a tremendous player.

    Mane is brilliant, better than Salah.

    But when I read the thread title I immediately thought Essien. That guy was a ****ing monster of a player.

    Edit: also Yaya Toure when he wasn’t sulking. Essien didn’t sulk so still Essien.
