Topic: Sadio Mané

[LallanaInPyjamas]

Hopefully there’ll be a root and branch investigation into it tomorrow

He's probably still pissed off about who H was

[The-Originals]

nothing to see here, move on

[Arrowsmith]

He's probably still pissed off about who H was

Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey (Fred).

[number 168]

A bit babyish but at least he didn't rip his shirt off and chuck it at the manager's feet like Sir Roger did. I think a quiet word from Hendo amd Milner and he will be happy to cuddle Jurgen again.

[clinical]

Player gets upset at not starting…


They should get upset……

He has no reason to be upset. He doesn't deserve to start. He's been awful for months.

[Clayton Bigsby]

Though I think it's a storm in a teacup it's not an acceptable reaction considering the result. Now had we dropped points I could understand but we won.
 

[slaphead]

Mane was out of order there, you don't do that. No big deal. He can't complain at being dropped. Few words from Klopp and it's done. The media will try and make something of it, no need for us to. All minds on West Brom

[El Lobo]

He was upset that he was dropped. Klopp explained as much by saying that he made a late decision yesterday in training.

Aye but if he’d scored 20 this season and we were top of the table I doubt he reacts the same

Personally don't think he'd react like that if he'd been having a great season and he'd done more to contribute as a sub to the win

It's not an excuse just why it doesn't bother me so much. Who knows what Klopp makes of it

[jillcwhomever]

Stop overreacting. It will get sorted between them.

[Persephone]

Needs to get his fucking arse in gear then...

No need for that to the boss.

Imagine anyone doing that to Shankly.

I'd bench him till he apologizes to Klopp and his teammates. Proper petulant little tantrum that was, no place for it after the team had won. It's not like his form has made him undroppable this season.

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

He was only respecting social distance

[LallanaInPyjamas]

Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey (Fred).

 

How fucking bad was he?! I think Sancho is amazing so I hope they don't sign him but equally they need a CM or CB more... McFred is a laughably bad partnership

[didi shamone]

Poor wickle narrow shouldered Jurgen will be crying into his pillow tonight. In fact he might never recover from Manes vicious snub.

Worrying times.

[Fromola]

The front three will be rotated now we have the 4 fit which we're getting the benefit of.

If Mane had been rested more maybe his form would be better.

[Ma Vie en Rouge]

Stop overreacting. It will get sorted between them.

Aye, one of the many great things about Klopp is that he rarely seems to take that kind of thing as an affront. He understands that emotions run high and people do silly things.

[redk84]

It's not a big deal

But no need for that Sadio

[jillcwhomever]

Fred actually evened the game up for us, he was like an extra player which made up for the referee.

[slaphead]

Listening to Klopp it already has been. But at least it has been a little distraction from people on here saying how shit Sadio has been ! 

[PIPA23]

nobody is untouchable and this could also mean he cares and wants to play...

well then perform Sadio, simple as that.

no matter how great and big the player is if he disrespects the manager in any way he should be out.

[AndyMuller]

Well....yeah.

He never though? Klopp said he done it because he didn’t get to explain why he didn’t start today. So he blanked him because he never started the match basically.

[Hazell]

Haz, I get so sick of this like I know you do too.  Today was a great day for LFC considering everything this year.

And all people/media can talk about is a 3 second interaction by a frustrated player and our affectionate manager.

onto West Brom....   

*** btw, we could have folded down 1-0 but didn't today.   This is a big big deal!

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'd prefer it was all smiles and hugs all the time but it's not really a big deal. I'm pretty sure Salah got criticised for being a bit moody this season when he was subbed off. Nothing came of it, unsurprisingly.

Agreed about us coming from behind, it was gut punch to concede the way we did but our overall performance was really strong, I think it's been that way for a few weeks now but we've not taken the chances we've created and it's let other teams back in. Today, we did and ok, we still let them back in and we were still wasteful in front of goal but thankfully today we did enough to hold out.

[gatcliffe]

Not acceptable end of. For sure JK will address it behind closed doors hope Mane comes out and apologises of all the places to do it after such a fantastic result.

[RedSince86]

Petulant.

He gave an interview at the weekend saying it's his worse season ever and how bad he's performed.

The right team was picked today.

[Caligula?]

Aye but if he’d scored 20 this season and we were top of the table I doubt he reacts the same

Well yeah, probably not. I think Sadio himself has said that he has no explanation as to why he's been as poor so that's probably a part of it. But as others have said, the front players are going to be rotated so he doesn't need to react like that after such a massive win.

Looked like a team that had a fire in their bellies which is a very good sign. Need to bring to Brom at the weekend.

[Phineus]

Good to see some fire in him, take it out on West Brom on Sunday please.

Partly/mainly due to a lack of rotation in such a condensed season and after 5 years of constant football in a Liverpool shirt. Presumably he'd rather have sat it out for Burnley or Southampton than United away though.

Reminds me a bit of when Michael Owen would get a big strop on if he was left out for a game, but then he had the gall after retiring to complain Liverpool overplayed him.

[bornandbRED]

Should be discussing his on field displays rather than the non-incident after the game.

He looks absolutely unrecognisable. First action of the game tonight he falls over the ball. Can’t see how he recovers from this as it doesn’t just look like a lack of confidence but physical, technical; everything has deserted him

[Dim Glas]

Mane's been out of sorts and poor so much of this season (and he was again this game when he came on), he has some sodding cheek acting up for the cameras after being dropped in a game we won without his help 

[Knight]

Yep.

[I've been a good boy]

It'll all be forgotten by Sunday. He just needs to focus on finding his form again because it's unacceptable for a team wanting to win the league.

[thejbs]

Klopp totally justified in benching him. Did little when he came on too. Daft, unprofessional petulance that leaves Klopp having to field questions about it for the near future.

[johnj147]

Disappointed in him ..we don't need that shit it's a team game ..

[Careca9]

Fred actually evened the game up for us, he was like an extra player which made up for the referee.

Genuinely I think that was the worst performance I have seen from a player in a game between top sides ever, he gave a pass in the 2nd half I can’t remember if it was before or after the goal he gave away that missed 2 unmarked players by about 10 yards and went out for a throw in, a pass men’s or women’s teams at any level would make, I was thinking to myself he is almost sabotaging unites in their efforts, he was jaw droppingly bad, I did feel a bit for him going off as he knows himself that was horrendous in front of a huge audience, that can’t be nice but we won so happy days!

[zimmie'5555]

Bit of an overreaction, he was pissed off, they'll both get over it - it's nice to see he actually cares to be honest given what he's shown on the pitch of late.

[Dim Glas]

Only one needs to get over it, and that’s Sadio.

Considering he admitted himself recently he was having a bad season, he should be very dissapointed in how he behaved and hopefully has already apologised to his manager.

These things happen with footballers though, he's disappointed and probably worried too as he can't put his finger on what's wrong. The interview about him the other day said a lot about his mind. Let's put it behind us, it won't bother Klopp overall who will sort it out behind closed doors.

[frag]

He can certainly be unhappy/pissed off about not starting, but that doesn’t mean he has to disrespect the manager like that. I don’t think for one second itll impact Klopp, just disappointing to see after a great win.

If he’d come on and bossed it or won us the game, it’d make some sense albeit still not acceptable. To do it after being pretty shit again wasn’t a great look.

[tubby]

Fair enough if he'd snubbed Klopp if he'd been brought off, but doing it like that at the end of the match isn't a good look.
