Good move because if they do have a weakness it is their tendency to fall back on the "long ball" tactic. If he moves to a more creative role then they will have Keita as a dribbling attacker and the Ox as the more direct, forceful midfielder as well as Henderson, who can pick out a pass. And with expert crossers of the ball like Trent-Arnold, Milner and Robertson, they should have plenty of variety when going forward. There are a few rumours about Mane moving on. That would be a pity because his goals wouldn't be easily replaced.
