Topic: Sadio Mané

[afc tukrish]

Absolutely chuffed to bits for Sadio. Got a feeling he's really going to tear it up this season. Him in tandem with Robbo is going to be a nightmare to defend against

Robbo and Sadio do have a very good understanding of how to combine. Same wavelength perpetually...

[bornandbRED]

He looks determined to make it back to his previous level, which gives me hope he will. Well taken goal today.

[Hazell]

What a fucking player

Over the moon for him to score his 100th Liverpool goal, can only be a handful of wide men in premier league history who have scored more

He's cemented his place as one of the true greats in our history, 100 goals, absolutely pivotal in our only league title in 30 years and winning the champions league

on top of that he works his absolute bollocks off every single came defending Robertson, true team player and big game player

nothing fucks me off more than coming into this thread and seeing supposed reds making cunty little digs at him, he deserves way better than that with what he's done for this football club, bring home number 20 sadio and shut these clueless doubters up.

Yes! Delighted he's got to 100, he absolutely deserves it, he's been sensational for us, and getting to a ton is just cements his legacy here a little further. And like people were saying last week against Leeds, he's still getting into goalscoring positions and he did so again today, to make the run and follow up Salah's header. Decent finish as well

FSG making best use of their communal kit.  Maybe a quick photoshop to save some time as well.

Handy they didn't put his name on it so they can reuse it    

[disgraced cake]

One hundred goals and if I'm mistaken not one of them was a penalty. Makes it even more impressive.

Watching the video of his 100 goals for the club, and it's interesting to see the variety. Lots of quality headers amongst them, which stands out.

Also lots of assists from Robbo, Bobby, and a certain Mr Salah.

What a player, and delighted for him.

[stockdam]

I really enjoyed watching his goals. Most are hit so cleanly…….teams need to start putting defenders on the far post as he’s very good at scoring just inside the post. Some very good headers as well. The quality of the goals is very high and it just shows how brilliant he is.

I watched a video of his first 50 goals some time back and noted that he had fallen over after 20 of them. A wildly brilliant player. Looking forward to him proving the doubters wrong all season long.

Yes, he ends up on his bum after quite a few of them. Think it shows how much he throws himself in to the chances.

[wige]

Still think his first was his best, Munich very close though.

One of my all time fav players.

[disgraced cake]

Only two away from scoring 100 premier league goals, as Salah just did. Mane has 77 for us and got 21 for Southampton.

Lots of headers too for such a short arse!
And how many Salah, Mane, Salah, Mane, Robertson's cross, Mane... are there?
Salah and Mane is such a dynamic duo. You don't realize it until you see highlights like these.
Love him. Absolutely love, love him, love him!
Here's to the next 100... quicker and on the way to nr 20 and all with us.

Please get this man a decent song. Well overdue.

No news about his contract either then?

I’m firmly in the Munich camp on this one. The way he sent Neuer to the shops with the turn before the exquisite finish. Just brilliant.

Just suggested the same thing on the audio/video thread.

Totally agree.

[Abin465]

It was very noticeable in his first couple of seasons. I thought it was a way he had devised to get the timing of his shot and the contact point right. Given his problems with finishing off chances recently, maybe he needs to start doing that again ... or just keep getting a lot of shots away!

[SinceSixtyFive]

My favourite football player. Its as simple as that.

[PoetryInMotion]

His goal for the hat-trick against Porto is not to be forgotten. He spins before passing to a team-mate, completely bamboozles his man, gets the pass back and smashes in a 30 yarder.

Also the one against Burnley. He gets the ball at the edge of the area, spins and smashes it into the top with his left.

[newterp]

Man City was awesome - left foot smash into the upper 90.

(so many muppets after were claiming he mishit it. losers).

Yeah, that was a great goal. Also, the one against Cardiff where he doesn't give up until he's in space with the ball and smashes a left towards the far corner. The one where he controls a Fabinho lobbed pass against Man United isn't too shabby as well. The Watford backheel was special too.

[Crimson]

What about that header against Villa? Extremely satisfying after playing against 12 men all day.

Nearly had his head taken off, what a header that was, also think it broke Man City as everyone was thinking we were gonna drop points

[PoetryInMotion]

Yes, and it came in actually one of his worse outings for us. And I don't mean it as one of those games where his finishing is iffy. In this game, nothing really worked for him, his touch was off, his linkup play was terrible and then he comes up with that.

[wige]

Both great shouts. The Watford one was a brilliant example of how devastatingly unconventional & impudent Sadio can be.

I just think that Arsenal goal incapsulates everything that makes him an elite forward. The acceleration and speed whilst having total control of the ball, the skill to beat the man with the chop inside and then the strength and determination to hold off the challenge. Finally the composure and technique to properly wrap his foot around the ball and get the blistering shot on target, right into the top corner, on his debut, away at a Wenger managed, decent Arsenal team (where I don't think we'd won in a few years - might be wrong) on his debut.

Similar for the Munich one, speed/acceleration, brilliant first touch, great skill to turn away and execute the chip, which showed great composure and awareness of the situation.

He's unplayable on his day. Never forget the Danny Rose interview later on in his debut season where he said that he'd had one of the hardest games in his career - unsurprisingly he was directly up against Mane in that game.

If i remember right didnt he put the cross in for Robbo's equaliser? I agree with your analysis of his performance that day. He struggled all day and then puts a great assist in for the equaliser and then scores the winner deep in injury time. The thing is with him and Mo there both fucking relentless and even when they struggle a bit they never hide and can produce a world class bit of play at any moment.

I think the best part of that goal, and generally his performance that day, was it really marked the dawn of a new era. I know we'd had Klopp for 6 months or whatever [and it was 6 months with 2 finals and THAT game against dortmund] but he'd not been given the chance to get into the transfer market [Caulker I'm afraid does not count!] or have a pre season stamping his ideas and authority on the team. Mane wasn't that fancied by plenty as well as he was yet another off the southampton/liverpool production line when we'd been snubbed - or so it appeared - by Goetze. I'd say going into that game I didn't have much of an idea if he'd be good or not.

This goal was a proper sit up, take notice, holy fuck what have we here moment. We weren't just going to be better under Klopp, we were going to scare the shit out of people.

This may sound weird, but that’s probably my favorite goal of the Klopp era. So much emotion around it, especially with City coming up next.

Lose that game and lose to City and we would have been level on points with them. As it was, we ended up 9 points ahead. Genuinely think the turnaround in that match was the pivotal moment of the season.

[Crosby Nick]

Is that Bielsa coaching us (far right, front row).

[William Regal]

2 really stand out for me, the solo goal at anfield v everton and the goal in the 1-0 win a carrow road, the touch to bring it down after spinning in mid air, just brilliant

Yup. You could see it in the reactions after the goal and some of the other footage from Inside Anfield. Everything went against us that day, but they found a way to get the three points.

Both fantastic goals..

On a side note, he has scored more goals with his left than I would've imagined.

All great shouts and that video was a fun watch, forgot about some of the great goals he's scored for us. The Munich one was special for it's execution and because it was on the way to winning the competition and the Villa one because of it's importance in the context of the title.

One I forgot about after watching that video was the one away to Norwich a couple of years ago, that first touch to bring it down was special.

[disgraced cake]

He's started this season well and hopefully can find another goal or two today. There has been moments other than the Leeds game where he's struggled in front of goal but I fancy him for a really good tally this season, hopefully matching what he's done in past years
