Sadio Mane

[Grinch]

His whole game is off the boil, furst touch is dreadful. Im glad he didn't try and control that bicycle kick.

[The Golden Eel]

I thought he had a decent game tonight tbh but I'm still concerned about his attitude. I know there's some sort of vibe on here where you're seemingly not allowed to slag him off, but I think he acted like a bit of a prick again tonight when he was subbed. 

[Jay86]

What’s he playing at? He looks selfish and sulking recently, his reaction to being subbed after playing shocking was almost laughable, that’s a few times now he’s shown a bit of disrespect in public. He really needs taking down a peg or two.

[Hades]

The red card at city derailed him. He was on fire before that. I think he's trying to adapt his game to temper his aggression but he's also struggling to adapt to being second fiddle to Salah. There's a different set of skills when you have to make more off the ball runs to draw away defenders.

[3 Stacks]

He's playing like he was when he was getting disinterested at Southampton. Making virtually all wrong decisions and only barely getting by on the fact that he's still a load to handle due to his physical gifts. 

 

The difference is that he was allowed to have periods like that at Southampton. He shouldn't be given the same privilege at Liverpool.

There's something about Mane.

 

 

Something not quite right.

[RedKnight]

Shite tonight, fine with that, it happens. Not so impressed with him acting like he was hard done by when he was subbed.

[Dicko]

Fuck all wrong with him in the first half and he's rolling round while we're down to ten men & Arsenal are attacking.

 

Cunt of a performance all night.

[s(k)aturation]

There's something about Mane.

 

 

Something not quite right.

 

 

One of two things perhaps:

 

He feels like he's very very quickly disappeared into Salah's shadow.

 

I'm not sure he's 100% fit. Seems slightly gingery on the sprint, and is lacking a yard from last year.

[Aventus]

I'm not too worried, I feel like he's an aggressive player that's frustrated with himself so is trying to force things too much. One or two goals will set him right.

 

 

Imagine being horny but you've lost the use of your hands, you'd be driving yourself mad trying to get a bird to tug you off, but at the same time your increasing desperation would scare any potential suitors off, and as time goes on it only gets worse.

 

Eventually he'll fluke an easy one, blow his load, and have a clear head again.

[janmolby]

I think his ego is getting the better of him.

He needs to take the advice given by John Barnes years ago. When things aren't going for you, do simple things well and when they work, work up to the fancy things. He's trying to score Hollywood blockbuster goals when he should be scoring straight-to-TV goals.

[Guest Alex_K]

Top player. Not remotely a problem. Exceptional movement; forces teams on the back foot even when not scoring himself. Will come good over 38 game season and blaze in Europe. Everton miss was taken out of perspective: it was a chance 100% of his own making.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

I feel he just needs someone to take him to the side and express how much we all love Sadio.

He just needs to take his foot off the pedal for one more second and then he is full throttle.

 

I just feel I love him and one day he will come back to me.

This.

 

[dockers_strike]

Did not like him shaking his head when he was subbed off

[No2]

Thought he was good tonight, dopey positioning for Salah's one on one in the first half, other than that he was a threat all night.

[KMD7]

I thought he played well enough, though again not up to his usual high standards. Before he was subbed he I noticed he did a couple of rash tackles in and around our penalty box and was looking a bit ragged on it. May have influenced Klopps decision to take him off.

[Gym Beglin]

Klopp needs to get more out of him, was he playing a no 10 role tonight?

[TheHowieLama]

Yes - he was no ten

[magicrat]

Mane will be fine, he's just going through a lean spell. Lets worry about the pantomime going on at the back, 

[Lee909]

He will be fine

He needs a few goal,if it starts by bounces of his backside or a great run it doesn't matter.

[Grinch]

I thought he had his few goals against Spartak but tbh he's been worse since.

 

Unlike quite a few players we've got, the lad has quality so it's not overly worrying.

[suzy]

Yes I noticed that too, I had visions of him getting sent off like he was against City

[aRdja]

It’s time for him to be rested. He’s costing us points. Ox has been performing well, give him a go instead.

 

I also think Mane has lost a bit of his pace.

[Joe Strummer]

His decision making of late has been shocking.
