    Mane has been a fantastic player, but the comparison isn't that like for like.  Playing left wing in a 442 in the 90s/00s etc (and then in a midfield 3 later) was very different to playing left of a 3 up top like Mane.  Especially when Liverpool have deliberately played for Mane and Salah to get forward more than Firmino.

    As evidenced by the assists pet game for Giggs v the goals per game for Mane:

    Middlesbrough played every game in every competition they entered in 1996/97, given they reached both Cup finals, but still got relegated because of a game that they originally didn't play.

    Think we should go for him if we can't get Dyche? 
    No thanks, we need an experienced up and coming manager who’s been promoted from League 1 several times before.

    11 countries get at least one club qualifying direct into next season's UEFA Champions League group stage. One of those places was reserved for Russia, which is the 8th ranked country, but which has just been kicked out. So the countries below them all shuffle up one, and a place in the group stage goes to the 12th ranked country. Which happens to be Ukraine.
