Sadio Mane Departure Proves a Big Loss for Liverpool

Sadio Mane Departure Proves a Big Loss for Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp Should Swallow His Pride and Admit it; Sadio Mane Departure Proves a Big Loss for Liverpool. Liverpool were trashed 4-1 in UCL by Napoli and Arsenal 3-2 šŸ”„ Jamie Carragher reacts to Liverpool disastrous start

Mane can finish no worse than Salah, he presses and tackles better than Salah and is more useful to a team on both ends of the pitch. Mane camp was right.

What did Klopp say about Mane moving to Bayern munich?

Speaking to Jan Aage Fjortoft, on viaplay, Jurgen Klopp spoke of his admiration of Sadio Mane, stating that the club ‘will miss him’ and that he believes the forward will play into his late 30s. “We say thank you with the biggest respect ever.”

You need to realize that Liverpool’s defense starts from the front three. And Sadio was the best at counter pressing or when they lost the ball, he was like a unleashed bull dog trying to get the ball. He was a problem for teams and goalkeepers when they plan to play from the back. I have no problem with Luis Diaz, but hey, sometimes we donā€™t realize how good players are until we lose them.

Nicol really said Liverpool just havenā€™t got the basics right, let me remind you, the pressing machine from the front line for Liverpool was Sadio Mane. And we can see that not only has Liverpool struggled in midfield and defensively but we can see that maneā€™s absence is starting to be more evident for this Liverpool team.

And the fact that ESPN’s Nicol completely dismisses this just shows how clueless he is at seeing Mane’s contribution to a Liverpool team that were in contention for a quadruple last season.

Trent Alexander Arnold (TAA’s) defending hasn’t really improved under Klopp. Arguably got worse, but that could well be down to other teams attacking TAA more. If we’re crediting Klopp for all the good work he’s done, he also has to shoulder some blame for not improving TAA’s defensive skill set.

Why did Liverpool let Sadio Mane go?

The BBC explained; “Just crowned Africa’s men’s Player of the Year for a second time, the 30-year-old Sadio Mane signed a three-year deal with 32-time German champions Bayern Munich in June. “It was last year I took my decision to leave because I need a new challenge in my life,” Mane told BBC Sport Africa. “For me, it was the right time.

Doctor Aloha said James Milner and Henderson have no creativity in midfield, they just keep passing the ball backwards. Liverpool need Thiago Keita and Arthur to break the gates, keep possession, intercept the offenses, keep the high pressure and give strength to the dead old legs.

Only Diaz was hungry to score goals and no others seemed sharp enough to make it at the back of the net!! Klopp really needs to give Jota more game time than rely on Salah for everything and give Curtis Jones more game time. Shouldn’t have sold Mane, Shaqiri and Origi as they were good attacking options. YNWA!!

“I know every footballer at the top is equally screwed when it comes to this, but I think the amount of games players have now and the lack of recovery between last season and this was way too little and is surely having an effect on the players’ focus levels.

Players used to have a couple months off, now they go on long pre season tours on top of extra pointless internationals. Injuries are piling up as well as mental fatigue”, El Jumbotron explained Liverpool’s struggles.

United ON THE BRINK of Champions League exit thanks to Onana

3-3 draw between Manchester United and Galatasaray in UEFA Champions League ā€“ Group A. They also analyze the performance of goalkeeper Andre Onana and the chances of Erik ten Hagā€™s side of advancing to the knockout stages.

Not saying Onana is done at Utd but surely ETH needs to give the back up a chance at this point. Even DDG needed to come out of the team briefly when he first came to the club. Gives him a chance to build his confidence away from the spot light. But TBH DDG was never this bad to begin with sm

Throwing away leads, basic mistakes and tonight, despite Onana performing better recently we might as well have had Jonny Evans in goal.

7 Biggest Manchester United Flops Of All Time

As much as I like eth, he caused our exit by bringing in a keeper not too familiar with EPL. In fact he should not have sent David away the way he did. He should have kept him and the duo should have competed. Onana errors contributed a lot to the exit

Tactically, I think ETH did pretty much everything correctly. Outside of Magelof not being good enough in general, the only criticism I can offer is that Mainoo should’ve come on for McGhost after he scored his goal. Solidify that midfield and shut everything down.

The keeper had a bad game and had a lot already this season which isn’t great but let’s hope he gets better as the season goes cause I remember when De Gea first came to United and he was not great as well but he matured, got stronger and became a great goalkeeper. But ETH needs to replace Onana for the next game and let him know that he needs to step it up.

David de Gea short-term fix Manchester United

As a United fan I have to disagree with the assessment of the performance. There was no control, no maturity. United give the ball away far too easily for this level. When you have less possession than a Sean Dyche team and then get 43% against Galatasaray, you’re not the technical side the manager wants to build. I feel sorry for Onana, he’s been doing much better recently. The mistakes he’s making are so basic it speaks to a mental problem. My hope is that Onana will feel much more comfortable when we develop into the team Ten Hag wants. Need to bring in ball-playing CBs and controller midfielders in the next two windows. Then we’ll see the real picture.

I honestly hope we finish bottom of the group so they can just focus on the domestic front. This team is poor to say the least and we will get knocked out in the second round even if we scale through by some miracle. So best not to, as for “O na na, whats my name” Don called it! He needs to reassess his priorities as a goalkeeper… now I’m ranting on YouTube, darn you ManUtd!

David de Gea short-term fix Manchester United

Can David de Gea be the short-term fix Manchester United needs? | If I was him I wouldn’t go back there after the way he was disrespected .. I can’t believe the management could be this bold and daft after the treatment they gave that guy.

Donā€™t do it!!! They decided you werenā€™t good enough and decided to get onana. Even if you took a pay cut, it would of been to facilitate onana. Thatā€™s tells you what you need to know

Of course teams have offered him contacts and heā€™s chosen to say no. Heā€™s said very clearly heā€™ll go to club fighting to win things and unfortunately all the top clubs have keepers. He might come back when the right club wants him.

Can Man United make it out of UCL Group A?

Wonder if Man U is telling Onana to skip the African cup due to his recent poor performances. Otherwise theyā€™re telling him his spot is at risk

United have no transfer strategy so this potential move makes 100% sense. Afterall they bought Mason Mount for 50 million to warm the bench.

It will be a mess and destabilising if we bring him back.. Shoking how he was treated after 12 years. And we bought a young goalkeeper, surely he gets a chance and we still have Heaton I believe.. What’s the point anymore? šŸ˜† We’re a joke!

Copenhagen Post-Match Onana and Maguire heroes after dramatic win

De Gea deserved better treatment. He should plain down reject any offer or entertain the offer just to reject it. The Man Utd negotiators could not negotiate their way out of a brown paper bag, absolutely disgrace to their profession.

If they bring him back prep for a new manager. Cause ten hag is clearly incompetent.
And heā€™s been offered but he wonā€™t take less than what he is worth, heā€™s a golden glove winner and a legend šŸ¤·šŸ½. Onana canā€™t even distribute this season and canā€™t stop a beach ball.

Tottenham Topping the Premier League table

It’s a strange one this because de Gea priced himself out of a job. He wanted a contract worth more than than the Ā£375k a week he was already getting, and Man United originally agreed to one, and then changed their mind, and I don’t blame them. He’s worth $75 million thanks to MUFC.

He was the World’s richest goalkeeper last season, and while he is a great goalkeeper, most pundits would name either Nuer or the recently retired Buffon as the greatest goalkeeper of the last 15 years, and most pundits would put the Brazilian duo Ederson and Becker as the best keepers in the Prem right now. What I’m saying is that at $75 million net worth de Gea could have afforded to be philosophical about it all and perhaps taken a pay cut.

Eriksen great performance in Man Utd UCL win!

Christian Eriksen joins Peter Schmeichel for a post-game interview after a Man of the Match performance after Manchester Unitedā€™s 1-0 win over Copenhagen. Eriksen came in as a second-half substitute and assisted Harry Maguire’s game-winning goal.

Still can’t believe Eriksen plays for Man United, especially after we all know what happened to him. I still remember that day and honestly thought we’d lost him. So happy to see him around and still playing.

Eriksen reveals secrets on Man Utd New Star Rasmus Hojland

Glad to see Eriksen get his praise. He was always my favorite player at Spurs. Lack of competition in the squad forced him to regress a bit in his career. Barcelona/Real Madrid were interested at him at a time. Then he went to the demon Conte, who doesn’t know how to handle flair footballers. And of course after his health situation, happy he got to perform at Brentford, and for Ten Haag with his creative flair. Though now Man Utd have both Ambrabat, and Casemiro, should make him perform much better in a free role! Or at least backup to Bruno.

What Really Happened to Jadon Sancho and Ten Hag?

The only reason i dont see Eriksen starting is because it doesn’t always look like he can play a full match, hence ETH has to be wise regarding when he should put Eriksen in the game. But everytime he’s subbed on, the entire team breaths easier and gains that extra sense of control. A game that was otherwise frantic, uncoordinated, improvised and scrappy, was all turned around when Eriksen came on the pitch. Gosh I wish we could see more to him.

The midfield in the Derby has to be him, Brumo and Amrabat.. whenever Eriksen plays deeper, it releases Bruno.. this experiment of Bruno playing as a deep playmaker and Mctominey as a 10/Second Striker has clearly failed.

We know Eriksen can’t play 90 minutes, but ETH should try to start with him and find a comfortable lead before subbing him off. I don’t remember Bruno having any influence on the game, or in previous games, he is so panicked in possession unlike Mr.Cool here. I would swap them around and see what happens.
