That observation wasn't lost on me either and I'm a quick study of body language. It was interesting. There was a camera in his face though so like you I'll brush it aside. What was true (which you also point out) is that whatever it was it worked with Lallana. He was immense.
It was a good setup so it is nice that they appreciate that as well maybe.
Come on guys. It is not like someone gave us a good position. We fought for it and we delivered it ourselves. Not any freeride. And it was the same gang that put is in this good position in the first Place that you now slam instead of get behind.
I highlighted this against Spurs.
It looks to me that there is more in it.
Maybe Mane thinks he's above his teammates, he certainly comes across that way in his celebrations
Didnt Firmino congratuate Mane first? Coutinho, Firmino and Mane celebrated the first goal together.
Hopefully not. I didn't see him in the celebrations for the 1st
Why? When he scored his goal, he copied Firmino's celebration (as he does to various teammates) and then did his (two arms raised at the stand).
What did you see that was wrong on Saturday? or in general?
Well you go away to africa on holiday leaving your team mates and team contending for title and 2cups. You come back and you find the team outta title race outta the cups and then you find out they struggle to score without you. Of course you will think they are below you and shit and have a high opinion of yourself.
There is a habitual need to find a cloud for every silver lining
It is rather strange behaviour, I agree
You use "we" far too broadly.
Yep. Sorry about that. I should have said "them fucking idiots".
If you think there's nothing to be curious about in thinking about how the team members celebrate together (or don't) then you're the fucking idiot.
I don't care if they give each other a reacharound in the showers or engage in fisticuffs as long as they play well.
Curiosity, I get that.
But I'm sorry, how they celebrate means fuck all in the grand scheme of things.
Is anyone saying it does in this thread?
Well its been mentioned by a few, yeah. Dreamy is one name that comes to mind but I'm on Tapatalk and I can't be arsed going back through the thread to point out examples.
I heard some sports/team analysis/mind reader wonk on a podcast the other week saying when he's employed by a club he looks at how engaged players on the bench are when watching the game. Another on was watching how they behave in a queue for food, like they pile their plates and look after themselves or consider the teammates.
I'm not saying that there's something in this celebration bullshit, but some joker out there is making a good living doing just that.

He seemed to acknowledge that in passing. Against Spurs he pretty much did his own thing. I'm probably reading too much into it
I merely pointed out to me at least it looks like Mane doesn't really engage with his teammates and some across like the team is beneath him. But I've also acknowledged I'm probably reading too much into it
Usually, I'd say that if anyone needs to "read too much", it's you, but in this case, stop.
