Is it time we finally got to see Salah play on the biggest stage?

#3 Sadio Mane

Senegal Portraits - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
The heart of Senegal's attacking force

Another Senegalese on the list, but Mane is hard to ignore even if you are a third generation Everton fan. His electric pace is his biggest strength, and he can simply run past defenders he doesn't like dealing with.

Unlike Liverpool where he is "one of the star forwards", Senegal depends heavily on Mane to be their goal-scorer. He has over 14 goals for the national side and is also their creative player when playing against teams that stay behind the ball.

Against Poland, Mane will have to deal with Glik and Piszczek, two of Poland's best. Once again, the pace will be Mane's most effective tool, and if one of Senegal's other players can connect with him inside the box as he draws the defenders away, Poland will start to feel the hurt.
