The Senegalese forward has hit 14 goals in the current campaign, but standards have dipped across the board at Anfield
Sadio Mane says the 2020-21 campaign has been "the worst season of my career", with the Liverpool forward unable to explain individual and collective struggles at Anfield.
On the back of bringing a 30-year wait for title glory to a close, the defending Premier League champions have endured a humbling fall from grace this term.
Key men, including Mane, have seen standards dip, while injury issues have done little to aid the efforts of Jurgen Klopp and a team still scratching around for a top-four finish.
