| 0:00.0 | I suppose a lot of comparisons are made to what Sadio Mane was when Liverpool signed him from Southampton. |
| 0:06.5 | Obviously, similar age range, Semenyo's 25 or turned 26 sooner rather than later. |
| 0:12.1 | Sadio Mane was 24. |
| 0:13.7 | Both of them had different journeys, different paths up, found themselves in the Premier League for, I was going to say a lower club, I mean, Borma for flying, |
| 0:21.5 | but a relatively different expectations, South Coast Premier League club, let's put it that way. And then Lippe will push the button on Sadi Omani spend. I know 30 million nowadays, doesn't seem a lot, but, you know, it was even like 10 years ago. That was a pretty significant fee that Liverpool spends on Saddam Hussein. |
| 0:37.4 | Is there a comparison to be made with the deal that Lipoor did for Sadio back in 2014 rather |
| 0:43.7 | and what they might have to do to go and get Antoine Semenio if they decided to do that? |
| 0:50.3 | Yeah, yeah. |
| 0:51.6 | So when we were linked with Semenio, I think quite a few people tried to correlate his journey, not journey, but his time is born, but to Sadio Manet's time at Southampton when he was coming out. |
| 1:05.4 | Yeah, Manet had two seasons at Southampton and some of the numbers are quite quite comparable to say the least |
| 1:13.0 | although the open source data they have is from the 2015-16 season but the understat has the |
| 1:19.5 | data from the 2014-15 season at the time when Manet joined Southampton so I managed to grab some |
| 1:24.7 | of the numbers and do some of the crunching so in the the two seasons at Southampton, Mane had non-penalty gold contributions of 0.57 per 90. |
| 1:35.2 | Sabineo, since the start of last season till today in the Premier League, |
| 1:39.5 | as having a gold contribution non-penality of 0.6.3 per 90. |
| 1:44.0 | So it's quite similar. |
| 1:46.0 | When it comes to short attempts per 90, they're quite similar. |
| 1:50.0 | 2.74 to Manate, 2.872, 7 per 90. |
| 1:55.0 | The percentage of shots from inside the box, |
| 1:57.0 | which is quite a key metric to have, |
| 1:59.0 | because forwards who are taking the majority of the shots from inside the box, which is quite a key metric to have because forwards who are taking a majority of |
| 2:03.2 | the shots from inside the box quite generally have, I would say, 5% to 10% better chance of |
