I said last year when he was below par that I thought he might have long covid symptoms. I've had them for two years now - they're persistent. Although Mané is obviously much fitter than I it might just have taken the edge off him.
He's got 4 assists in his last 5 games so I think he's doing ok lol. His goal scoring may not be as high as it was but his creative side is really blossoming. Have to bear in mind that the amount of football he has played this year, including a gruelling AFCON.
I've been all over England and Wales and all over Europe but never Scotland. We had an aunt (not real Aunt, just a woman who helped out my Mum when she was a refugee) who lived a few miles from the border, North of Newcastle. Always used to ask my Mum if we could cross over and see Scotland when up there as a kid (not that I'm sure there's much difference just crossing the border, but as a child it was significant) but she never would.
I love the scenery on the West - like Wales only bigger. Dodgy weather and midges you can't dodge, but otherwise...
Extending 2 years, who knows maybe he will extend again in 2 years time. At least 4 years from now is enough time for him to refresh the squad further.
