Sadio Mane says Liverpool are nowhere near to reaching their full potential.
Sadio Mane has told World Soccer that Liverpool can and will get even better this season.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are big favourites to end a 29-year wait for the Premier League title come May, with the Reds four points clear of second-placed Manchester City.
It’s widely believed that this is the strongest Liverpool team for many years, but the Anfield outfit have been stuttering in recent weeks.
They scraped past Crystal Palace and Brighton in their last two Premier League games, winning by a one-goal margin, after suffering back-to-back defeats by Wolves and City.
Losing the title would be devastating for Liverpool fans, but Mane claims that the team hasn’t even hit top gear as of yet.
“The results have been there but we know we could have done more with some of our performances,” he told World Soccer.
“We are very competitive but know there is even more to come, for sure. In many ways, the team is stronger and we have produced some very mature performances.
“Hopefully we will hit our top form when it matters most.”
It’s an exciting claim by the Senegal winger. If Liverpool aren’t operating at 100%, which Mane suggests, then how good can they really be?
Klopp’s side have only conceded 13 times in 23 Premier League games, scoring 54, and if this is a team that can get even better then Pep Guardiola will be worried – very worried.
