Sad for him though just as he is coming into form (also crossed my mind as well
).
Is it bad that I kind of hope Mane has tweaked something, will miss a bit of time, and not be fit enough to go to AFCON? Is that bad?
You could tell he had loads of ability, but he was making some poor decisions. He also looked out-of-sorts and maybe in need of an attitude adjustment. The criticism he was taking was perhaps a little overboard, but mostly valid.
Although I remember saying that I wasn't sure Long was an improvement over Mane, and some people took great offense to that. Surprised we did not see Long come in today, though.
I enjoyed that, bit concerned that we may get hemmed in a bit in the second half, although I'm sure that Long will make an appearance at some point. Gardos looks alright.
Mané's goal was absolutely sublime, but Mertesacker got the faintest of touches, certainly enough for the dubious idiots panel to take it away from Sadio.
And did you see the way Reed took the ball off Sanchez? Left. For. Dead.

Hanging on a bit at the end there, but good value for the lead I think. Going to be a nervy second half methinks, but hopefully we can bang one in to make life a little easier!
