He's been crap for over a year. That's not form.
They all played and scored for Liverpool
He still takes players on so I don't quite buy the fact that he's lost his explosiveness. We just don't see it as much. He just seems quite conservative and indecisive a lot of the time... combine that with the flakey passing and control and you end up with quite a frustrating player.
I can't quite remember when teams decided to switch to the low block approach to try and counter us but I wonder if that has anything to do his decline.
Yes I agree with you and Keni - his bad decision making is costing us big timeIt's the indecision and decision making that kills me. He's not as explosive but he still gets in positions; he's just fucking shite when he's there
I think Mane was actually good today. Our main threat and outlet in attack by far. I think you guys are harsh sometimes.

[article]ESPN’s Jorge Ramos has revealed that the 34-year-old did have some other demands for him to stay.
One of those was for Barca to sign Liverpool attacker Sadio Mane. Messi wanted the squad strengthened significantly, and Mane was part of that upgrade.
The report adds that Messi rates the Senegal star very highly and that initial talks did take place. However, the discussions were short and sweet as Anfield chiefs had no intention of selling.
Liverpool are said to have demanded a large sum for Mane, while being fully aware of Barca’s financial struggles.
Mane, who led Senegal to African Cup of Nations glory against Reds teammate Mo Salah on Sunday, currently has 18 months left on his contract.
The report finishes by stating that Barcelona are unlikely to renew their interest in the winger. All their focus next summer is expected to be on trying to bring Erling Haaland to the club.[/article]
Jordan Ibe is betterGet ready for the day after, retrospective posts about Mane being shite and what a greedy bugger he was.
But seriously what a player he is and was, only player compareable to Barnes for me.
Jordan Ibe is better
Doesn’t seem like a lot of money but probably means the world to those parents 🙂I just looked up the conversion rate - its £500
£500 more than I would have to pay.I just looked up the conversion rate - its £500
[article]‘I think I told you about the generous gesture that Sadio Mané made in Bafoussam in favour of a family,’ declared a guest on the set of a Cameroonian channel, Equinoxetv, after the coronation of Senegal.
❤️ Love it!
‘The latter was in distress because a motorcycle had hit their child who had broken bones and injuries all over his body; he was close to death and his parents could not afford to pay for treatment.
‘Sadio, who was in this hospital (because he was being treated there after his shock against Cape Verde) finds this grieving family and asks them what is going on.
‘We explain the situation to him and he gave them 400,000 FCFA which relieved this family.
‘I believe that this blessing was rewarded today by GOD.’
Mane, who won AFCON player of the tournament, is known for his charitable work
Mane is known for his talent on the pitch and his work in his hometown Bambali where he has previously paid to help a school being built back in 2019.
The Premier League star also previously donated £41,000 to the FCFA, a health body fighting coronavirus in Senegal.
Therefore it appears he was not only the stand-out player on the pitch after being named the player of the tournament, but also away from it, with his generous actions. [/article]
Love this shot.Sadio living up to the Senegal nickname of "the Lions of Teraanga". (or the Lions of Hospitality, Generosity and Warmth, translated to English)
https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20201115-teraanga-the-word-that-defines-senegal
"Characterised by generosity, hospitality and warmth, teraanga is everywhere in Senegal, and has helped shape the nation’s identity."
He truly is OUR Lion.
The Lion, The Magician and The Egyptian King. For winning us that 1st title in 30 years (+CL, WCC) , they'll ALWAYS be Legends in my book.
.. Just so long as none of them go on to play for United lmao.
