​Liverpool legend Carragher: Mane more important than Coutinho

Published on: 22 August 2017

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes Sadio Mane has emerged as a more vital player than Philippe Coutinho in Jurgen Klopp's side.

Carragher points out that Mane has been a revelation since he has joined the Reds and his ability to score from the wide has made him invaluable in Klopp's system.

"I'd make an argument for that, especially with the way Jurgen Klopp likes to play. I think he's massively important," he said on Sky Sports.

"You see the goals that he's got and his goals record for a wide player is phenomenal since he's come to the club.

"All the other players on the list are top strikers in the Premier League. For Mane to be there, it shows his impact.

"If you compare him to Coutinho, who is a fantastic player which is why Barcelona want him, but if he carries on the way he is going, the top clubs around Europe will be looking at him because he has been a revelation since he came in."
