Confusing Situation Strikes Sadio Mané At Bayern Munich
Sadio Mane’s transfer to Bayern Munich hasn’t worked out the way many thought it would. Why? A Confusing Situation Strikes Sadio Mané At Bayern Munich.
Sadio Mane wins another title but Bayern Munich just raised Liverpool transfer question
Mané’s game did not fall off a cliff overnight. His athleticism has been slowly declining since a hamstring injury before the first lockdown. After the players returned from lockdown he wasn’t the same based on the eye test though he was still putting up good numbers. Sadio had a good AFCON, then played well as a false 9 because Luis Diaz did a lot of the ball carrying on the wing. This season in Munich, he was not spectacular at the start, but still decent.
Per the Mirror reports via SportsFila, Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga title in dramatic fashion on Saturday – all while out-of-favour forward Sadio Mane watched from the bench.
Mane, 30, has been tipped for the exit door after a series of low points in Bavaria such as being suspended by the club for allegedly punching team-mate Leroy Sane during a heated dressing-room row. Struggling for form under both Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel, the ex- Liverpool hero has failed to show the kind of sensational form that was often on display over six years at Anfield.

Since the injury that forced him out of the WC, it’s like Mané can’t move anymore. Even his short bursts and lateral movements are way slower. At Liverpool he’d go through some periods of missing chances, but was clinical for the most part, now at Bayern even his sharpness in front of goal is gone. Bayern fans call him “OffSadio” because he tries to make up for the lost step by playing on the shoulder of the last defender, but he’s always offside.
I hope he somehow regains for somewhere, but the contract situation will be hard for a team to take on. I don’t blame him since most of his time at LFC he was underpaid.
Mo Salah’s apology for Liverpool missing Champions League qualification
As a Man Utd supporter, while I’m not prepared to completely write off Mane as finished, one thing a lot of people aren’t talking about is that he has been on the decline for a couple of years now. His form was going on a downward trajectory well before he left Liverpool
He had a very bad run of form during the 20/21 season, which he’s said was the worst of his career so far. He had a good run of form post AFCON last year but he had to be played centrally instead of the left wing like he had been played in previous years and even then, he wasn’t reaching the same heights he hit from 2017-2020.
Thomas Tuchel Worth Sacking At Bayern Munich
Yet as the World Cup came into sight, he was already starting to find himself withdrawn early and in-and-out of the Bayern starting XI as they struggled to fit him into their side. While he had predominantly been an electric left-winger for Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp had re-invented him as a central forward during his final months at Anfield, only for him to look like a square peg in a round hole when utilised in either role in Bavaria.
Bayern Mistakenly Appointed Tuchel to Exit Champions League
I’m not sure if Sadio will be able to turn things around at Bayern Munich, especially after the Sane incident, but I hope he can turn his career around. Even if he’s on the wrong side of 30, he is still a world class player and coming from a Liverpool fan, he’s always been very respectful towards the fans. It’s a shame to see him like this.
When Sadio Mane left Liverpool for Bayern Munich last summer, he would have been dreaming of winning further league titles in Bavaria. But not like this.
Luton Town secure promotion to the English Premier League
The Senegalese nearly helped fire the Reds to an unprecedented quadruple last season, with a domestic cup double at least ensuring he had won every major honour on offer to him before calling time on his Anfield career. Boasting 120 goals from 269 appearances, he is an undisputed Liverpool legend.
Mané was always an odd choice for Bayern. The team needed a classic #9 to offset losing Lewandowski but found precious few strikers on the market who they could have gotten (no way was Haaland going to Bayern).
Personally, SportsFila.com would have thought somebody like Isak would have been as close to perfect as he has the size, speed and skill to become featured on their 1st team but it would have been a big leap of faith for them to pull the trigger on him.
So they went with Mané who had been an elite winger on some of the best teams of the last decade. Problem was, his game has always relied on speed and at 31 he was slowing down. Not to mention his recent injury history. Players like him dont get better with age.
He’s a great player, no doubt and early on he looked fantastic but then he kept getting these little dings. Plus he played a very tough international schedule in the African Cup instead of getting some much needed rest.
He looked like a completely different player by the time the New Year began. Tentative, unable to contribute and Bayern s@#$ the bed in a bad way.
I don’t blame Mané I just dont think Bayern found the right guy as Mane and Lewandowski are far different player.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
