Sadio Mané (Liverpool > Bayern Munich)

Mane takes players out of the game for others. When you have 10 men back then players who can take some of those blokes out of the game become vital. Because of his pace and directness he is vital for us though unlike Suarez he's just a cog in a wheel (Suarez was more or less the wheel in our wheel under Brendan)

We just need somebody who can do it as well as Mane or instead of Mane so that we don't fold when he's absent.

We also struggle when other players are absent for different reasons and thats why we are in a slump.

I'd say Coutinho, Matip, Mane, Milner and perhaps Firminho are all irreplaceable in their own way, in that we can't cope too well if just one of those is missing, because the players coming in to replace them are not up to standard.

Come on Cameroon!!! Please!

Let me get this... you are a fan of Mane... but you want his country and team to lose and for him to come home massively disappointed.

Yeah - Diego sees him first and foremost as an asset to Liverpool because, SHOCK HORROR, he's a Liverpool supporter. That is something you struggle to understand seeing as you are NOT!

Brilliant! 

Oh..... you're being serious....

I am a fan of Mane and want his international team to lose so he'll return quicker, screw AFCON Would be even better if he had a falling out with the manager too

Let me get this; you don't? 

Absolutely. Hope he goes all the way and wins the tournament. Would be a great boost for him.

If you think him playing for LFC is more important (considering that his absence is not our excuse), it's pretty sad and damning really.

I'm a liverpool fan mate, of course I do haha. Not arsed about the Senegal national team.

It's not sad or damning at all, don't be so soft

I think 99% of Liverpool fans feel the same way as you.

Right, so "YNWA" doesn't mean much to you lads.

What happened to supporting the players also? Hoping for the best?

Sounds like a bunch of spoilt fans who don't care what happens so long as LFC wins.

No one is saying they hope Mane gets kicked off the national team.  We all want him to continue having a fulfilling career with Senegal.  However, if they get knocked out early, we benefit by getting a massively important player back sooner than later.  It's really not that hard to grasp....

Also, people on here are fans of Mane because he is a Liverpool player, not the other way around.  LFC always comes first.

Well, I would be happy if Mane got kicked out of the national team :p but same goes with Coutinho, Firmino etc. Lets be honest, we are all happy that Matip had a falling out with the Cameroon management team, long may it continue tbh.  International is not how it was before, the highest level of football is club football now, so less players on international duty the better for us imo.

What I won't support is Senegal progressing because I want Mane back. However, if Senegal made it to the finals, I hope he wins it. Also, if AFCON wasn't during mid season and played off season, I guess I would be supportive of Senegal.

Shock horror! Liverpool supporters don't give a sh*t about Senegal's prospects in a tournament that makes the Johnstone Paints Trophy look like the Champions League!

You don't get this whole 'support Liverpool' malarkey do you. Your remedial understanding of YNWA just reinforced that point.

Right, so "YNWA" doesn't mean much to you lads.

He won't be alone. He'll have millions of fans welcoming him home when that idiotic tournament is over.

You have to be on a wind up, that post is just to bloody stupid to post on an Lfc fan forum.
Personally I want to see all our players banned or retired from International football the minute we sign them because I care not one F**k about anything other than the greatest club in the world. If you don't understand that then with the greatest respect, F**k OFF!

Well, as Claude Puel said, he tasked his team to make us play wide and stop us going through the middle - hence why we played narrow with Coutinho in behind Bobby and Studge.

Because we now lack the cutting edge and pace of Mane from the wider position, there is no danger whatsoever from the wider areas.

Milly and Clyne/TAA essentially, are all we've got from wide areas and our opponents are happy to deal with this - and our crossing numbers to nobody have gone up.

That's what most teams have done to us in his absence, even Plymouth ffs.

Some pressure on this lad when he comes back  .

Thought i was in the joel matip thread for a bit.We should have john henry's private jet,gassed up on the runway to get Mane the F**k outta there as soon as the final whistle goes,c'mon you cameroons!

A bit ironic -- the lad missed the penalty that sent Senegal home.....

Oh well, Senegal's loss is our gain

He should be back and ready to suit up against Hull.  So, if we can scrape a win out against the Chavs on Tuesday then it's game on for the title race!!
