Sadio being Sadio.  The first person to Mendy to give him a hug a word of commiseration.

Fucking dickhead nearly caused me an anxiety attack! All will be forgiven Sadio once you score a hatrick in the CL final

What a legend

Was desperate for him to score the winning penalty as his performance was top class yesterday but alas, it wasn't to be.

I love it when our left backs score the winner though

[lionel_messias]

Has he won four penalty shootouts this season!?

[rob1966]

Yes. Afcon, WC qualifier v Egypt, League and FA Cups

[Kadafi]

Fought like lion all game, was brilliant to see him so happy in the celebrations.

There's also a clip of Klopp embracing him after the final whistle & giving him one of his signature one-to-one talks which was quite endearing.

Yep, first thing i noticed in all the celebrations was how central to it all Mane was. Previously even with the CL, when it got to the dressing room he was nowhere to be seen

[Yorkykopite]

He had a fair shout for Man of the Match. Playing at centre forward he is a permanent out-ball for both our full backs and number 6. Chelsea's centre backs weren't even bothering to follow him to the ball after 20 minutes. There was no point. He was too quick to reach it and had time to turn.

He'll be a real problem for Real Madrid if he plays anything like he did on Saturday.

We’ve been far too good for Militao before and sure we can be again. Who’s their other centre back these days?

Alaba if fit. Nacho if not.

[Yorkykopite]

Alaba if fit. Nacho if not.

What a horrible time they're in for.

They could try and hurt him of course, like they did with Salah in Kyiv. But their dirtiest player is playing somewhere else now and, besides, you're more likely to seriously damage yourself if you get into a physical duel with Sadio Mane.

I watched it with fans of different teams on saturday and we were all saying the same thing. He would be absolutely horrible to defend against and if you managed to get close to him you'd bounce off him and not bother trying again.

[Crosby Nick]

Alaba if fit. Nacho if not.

I’m Nacho who plays there if Alaba isn’t fit either.

[Sharado]

100%. Between him, Trent, Diaz and Ali for me.  I think Diaz got it because his 'highlights' reel from the game had everything but a goal, but Mane's work allowed Diaz to look as good as he did sort of thing.

Yes, I'd go with those four too. Plus Thiago. But that almost goes without saying.

But Sadio at 9 is very, very scary. And I say that as someone who has always believed that Firmino should be first on the team sheet.

[groove]

That run in the second half (?) where he picked the ball up deep, turned out of trouble about 6 times from 3 different pressers, and accelerated away to win a foul was ridiculous.

[afc tukrish]

Lalo the place with that one...

[lionel_messias]

He deserves a new contract and to be rotated a little bit more, over the next 3 years. Around 30 golden games a term from him would do it, and he is nailed on for Big Finals;
as he tends to score in them, the reliability monster that he is!

[redwillow]

New song doing rounds on Twitter is a belter (cant add link from this laptop)

to the tune of Forever in blue jeans

'Mane scores,
skins defenders leaves them on the floor,
vital part of Jurgens mighty team,
he is a dream,
Sadio Mane'

[didi shamone]

As Klopp said, he's a machine. Ridiculous how often he delivers in big games. Ultimately didn't matter today but he's going to be a nightmare for Madrid.
The very epitome of a mentality monster.

[Kansti]

He is undeniably our most clutch player in recent years. To me at least.

[RedSamba]

Get him a decent song ffs

What do you mean by "clutch player"? (Genuinely)

Its a shite american term thats popped up into our vocabulary here, along with terms like ‘baller’. Its bad enough young people saying it, let alone middle aged people.

I blame shite like MOTDx.

Morning KH!

I absolutely adore Sadio as a footballer, the only question mark is whether we have gassed him with workrate over the last 4 years.

In the ultra ruthless way, he could be one where you go, "we love you but this offer is too good to turn down, for both of us". At near 30 that is.

[killer-heels]

We shouldnt let him go. I dont care about the loss of a transfer fee, same goes with Firmino. Hold onto all the main players for next season and if that means we lose Salah, Mane and Firmino on a free then so be it. We have a title to win.

[Redman78]

Why should we let Manè go? Sounds like crazy talk to me.

Agreed.
Unless we get a ridiculous offer (like Coutinho money) we should hold on.


The smart thing to do would be to have an understudy , on the bench, chomping at the bits , learning all the time. Growing into the role.
And then it will be upto Sadio to stay/go.
True Liverpool legend. Always delivers in the big moments.

Be absolute lunacy to let all 3 go on a free

[FLRed67]

It won't happen.

They will have to sign new contracts next month or they will be put up for sale.

[markmywords]

That definitely won't happen.  Why would they agree to leave now, when they could in 12 months and get much more money.

We will offer them good deals and if they continually turn them down, they will leave on a free in 12 months, like can and gini did.  I believe at least 1 of them will stay, hopefully more

[Eeyore]

What do you mean by "clutch player"? (Genuinely)

It's one of these.

[El_Frank]

"Clutch"

Anyway, he's seemed a lot happier recently, he's going nowhere.

[Clayton Bigsby]

Shouldn't let any of them go on a free, nevermind all 3. It's a nice sentiment, I've had players on Championship Manager that I point blank refuse to sale and some leave. But that's make believe, you cant let north of £120m on the table. Wea re not oil club thankfully

We are about to play our 3rd UCL final in 5 yrs, that makes us no.1 in europe, thus any player that leaves us is largely leaving for the money.

So why would they leave 12 months before the real money.  I'm confident all our famous front 3 will be with us next yr and hopefully longer

It happens. We got Thiago with a year left on his contract.

Sure, they may want to run down contracts. But club will tty to prevent it.  We are not PSG.

Also, clubs bring in players when they need them, not when it suits the player. Real, Barca looking for strikers now.

Sadio giving it the big reveal

"This question [about my future] I will answer after Champions League. If I'm staying or not, I'm going to answer after Champions League."
