Sadio Mane | Performances

It would take a world record fee to get Mane or Salah if Real or Barcelona did want them. Can't see either of them paying it. Even if they did I think Liverpool would sign Mbappé.

Mbappé will be Madrids next big transfer though I think, so can't see them going after Mane/Salah.

Mane said 12 months ago - even before we became European champions - that he was very happy at Liverpool. Considering what's happened since then I'd say it's even less likely he'll be going anywhere else anytime soon.

We all tend to compare current players with players of the past and then we overrate the latter. Mane is one of the best I've seen at what he does and I've watched football for 55 yrs.
 
Hes on PEDS though isnt he?
Hes made of elastic. Never seen such a dynamic player stay injury free for so long
 
Dirtiest cnut in the league. Hope he fecks off to Spain where he'll actually be punished for his thuggish behaviour.
 
Real Madrid should've gone after him instead of that fat slob Hazard

Whose to say Mane would've been interested? Whilst Hazard has tremendous technical ability, I would agree that Mane would be a greater fit. I watched Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad, and I was unconvinced about where the goals would come from. Vinícius for all his qualities at present, being a goal threat isn't one of them, and its my feeling Rodrygo plays more comfortable when situated on the left. In any case, you could say that Hazard isn't the type to have the goalscoring burden on his shoulders. Mane has that tenacity and drive which are qualities they lack on the offensive standpoint, and then there's the added benefit that Mane can play at a high level on the right.

 
They should convert the seconds it took for Mina to get up into years and that should be how long he’s banned for. Disgraceful.
 
Him and Robertson, biggest thugs in the league. Get away with murder every game.

Agree, said this for years.
He also used to be one of the biggest divers this league has ever seen allthough to be fair to him he have seemed to left most of the theatrics to his mate Salah lately
 
He was awful for much of last season, completely lost his head.

Much improved this season even if he has been very erratic.

Been back to world class since moving to the middle though. On Tuesday he went past Rooney and Lampard as the player with most goals in the CL knockout stages for English clubs (15). What a player.
 
The Afcon gave him a boost and playing well this season.
On another note he's very lucky not to have picked up more bookings.
Or red cards. He should've had at least two this season (against Chelsea and Everton). Seems to lose his head sometimes but then plays the rest of a game with a smile on his face.

He's been great playing as a striker. Much better than when he's on the left.

Newcastle too. Stamped Dubravka’s standing leg just above the knee. Not sure how he gets away with it.

Edit: agree that he’s been immense as a striker though. I think the role suits him.

That sentence still amazes me as it confuses others. The Afcon was considered to be our downfall before January came around. And that was just the feeling amongst us Liverpool fans. To have the completely opposite effect is illogical.

We’ll he had a good tournament,won the cup and carried that momentum into the rest of the season it looks like.
Had he lost the final like Salah it might have had a different effect.
 
He says he nearly signed for us. We had a contract all agreed. I don't remember many concrete links at the time.

I doubt he’d have turned into the player he is with us. Attackers seem to go up a level under Klopp and all ours have been horribly undercoached.

It was reported from Telegraph I believe at the time that we were close to agreeing a £30m fee and that LVG was a huge fan.
 
LVG previously named Mane as one of the players he wanted but the club didn't get.

It's been a big difference maker for him. Out on the left he looked like he'd lost some of the dynamism he had earlier in his career, too far from goal sometimes and not able to beat his man consistently when on the ball. Seeing how effortlessly Diaz carries the ball from wide areas to central even when he's being doubled up on, and the massive impact Mane has had through the middle, it's been really good thinking from Klopp.

So you are telling me that Mane is a good Lewandowski replacement..? ;)

Im not sure about Daiz, he's got that Rashford habit of not really going on the outside and constantly cuts in to get his shot away time and time again. Im not surprised Salah goal scoring opportunities has plummeted with Diaz in the side. Next season we will see how Diaz counter acts that after the league has had a good look at him
 
I don't understand why players do this, see it happen so many times these days.
Players saying they almost signed for their main rivals.
Real or Barca, Arsenal or Spurs, Man United or City/Pool and all vice versa.

What's the point, other than trying to score points with your fan base, which unless you a Liverpool fan, should be meaningless.
 
£27m?

That sounds very cheap!? What’s going on
He’s 30 years old and in the last year of his contract. There’s also probably a little bit of the fact that he’s a club legend and they’d rather let him go on good terms if that’s what he wants.
