Slightly pedantic of me but you didn't actually disagree:
"What difference does it make if someone is wishing injury on a player anyway.
You do realise it will not have any influence on that player getting injured don't you.
People taking umbrage at this are laughable"
I personally would not do so but I don't care if someone else does.
That's all I was saying.
okay no worries - anyway a reliable LFC source reports:

#LFC could be without Sadio Mane at Burnley. He has a minor muscle injury, not a dislocated shoulder.

Thank fecking fecking fecking feck for that. Fecking hell. One game a week and we're getting injuries to key players after one fecking week. 
It was more like "come on now", I wasn't saying it in an angry way. Although fans like you do piss me off.No need to get so angry mate.
Can someone tell me what the thread title is about, seeing as the thread has been derailed into retardedness
This thread has gone Sadio Gaga!
Reports were that he's only expected to miss the Burnley game, i expect Origi or Sturridge to come in for him. Second game of the season and the players are already dropping like flies. Glad Mane misses the Burnley game rather than the Spurs game.
Oh absolutely, you should beat Burnley if you’re aspiring to finish in top 4. Has it been reported that Sturridge is back in training?
Yeesh. Closing thread for 15 mins while I move the "preferring Liverpool to be relegated rather than United win the league" discussion to a new thread.
Pretty sure that they aren't allowed in this site, so feel free to report it. Wishing injuries to players, or celebrating them hasn't ever been allowed here and pretty sure people got banned/infracted for stuff like that.
He is back in training supposedly. We'll see if he can get a start on Saturday. It wouldn't surprise me to see one of Sturridge or Origi come in to replace Mane if he's injured. So Coutinho, Lallana and Firmino behind one of them.
It's a shame because Mane was our best player on Sunday.
Yeah he was really good. Wonder if Klopp would start Sturridge straight away.
Any thoughts on why this is happening? Do you think that it is just bad luck or overtraining?Thank fecking fecking fecking feck for that. Fecking hell. One game a week and we're getting injuries to key players after one fecking week.
He doesn't suit the way we play as much as Origi does but the reality is that Sturridge is vastly superior in terms of finishing and ability. I want to see Sturridge playing with Mane as I think they'd link up pretty well.

Scored in both AFCON games so far. Have to admit his consistency has been a big surprise to me this season. Always thought of him as a hot and cold player who will look like a world beater for five games but then go completely missing for the next two months.
Give it some time
Bet he disappears between May and August too the overpriced fool.
His consistency has been the biggest surprise. I remember last year at Southampton he went something like 10-12 games without scoring and then he would come out and rip a few teams to shreds, but seems like he is maintaining a higher level now.
This was also a myth perpetuated on RedCafe because it helped allay some fears some posters had that he would turn out to be an excellent player for LFC. He did have one or two poor matches last season and was benched, but that was also coming back from injury. I've posted the ratings from Whoscored before on here. Basically he performed to a high standard in most matches, was absolutely exceptional in maybe 1:5 and those that were below par were not stinkers, just not exceptional. Therefore I think it's possible to conclude that in reality, and not the minds of supporters, he generally performs very consistently and above the team average with the occasional match being MOTM worthy.
Did you even read the post you replied to @Rafateria ?
He was talking about him going several games without scoring, nothing about performance levels. It that a myth?
Mane is your best player imo, amazing signing. Funnt how negative many United fans were though when we were heavily linked to him.
You missed my point entirely. It isn't really a myth that he went 19 games without scoring in the PL last season. That was from 25th October (v Liverpool) to 20th March (v Liverpool also). He likes scoring against Liverpool so I'm not really surprised they ended up buying him. His performances/ratings may have been good in this period but I am clearly talking about goal scoring consistency, which has increased this year.
Funny how you use whoscored rating to conclude Mane was good last season and then post that Pogba was poor this season except last few weeks. Pogba had consistently above 7 rating with few 8s and 9s, he has very few below 7s.
He is a good player and would have been handy for any team IMO.
They're already qualified for the second round, aren't they? They're an outside threat for the title imo, which means we could miss him for an extended period of games but he'd return full of confidence and a happy man, which is also very important.
Yeah, nah.
It was posted as much, if not more, when we were linked to him the summer before hand.
The majority in here were up in arms about the idea of signing him, most thought he was nowhere near good enough. Someone should send Rafa the transfer thread from back then.
Mane is quality. Not as gutted about missing out on him now that Mkhi is beginning to perform but have no doubt he'd have excelled here.
They're in the QFs. Just need to win that one and he will miss an additional week because they will be guaranteed a bronze final.
Don't burst his bubble.Seriously, it's shocking that some posters literally make up bollox to suit their agendas. Mane was clearly inconsistent at Southampton and it was said long before he went to Liverpool. Some of the scousers on here are hideous posters.
He was always going to shine in a superior environment to Southampton.
Yes, I did. He said his consistency is a surprise - read my post again, it is all directed at that 'myth'.
Well TBH your post didn't read like that to me. You ended one sentence on consistency and then launched into the goal-scoring concern. My mistake if that was your intent. As regards goal-scoring .. he's primarily a winger, not a striker, and his goal-scoring has always been pretty good for a winger but you don't expect them to score week in week out. He's obviously on course for a good total this season though.
I've seen it. Many posters were banging on post after post about his supposed 'lack of consistency'. I tried to counter that with facts - seems YOU didn't read the thread thoroughly otherwise you wouldn't be suggesting I go back to a thread I posted in ! Those same posters are noticeably quiet now.
Very different players - they would probably be ace together.
