      Might be controversial but i would consider letting Mane go this summer if there are buyers out there willing to pay a decent fee. His form this season has been so poor compared to what we have seen previously, the drop off has been alarming. Some good work to set up the 3rd goal on Wednesday night but mostly when he gets the ball i expect him either to lose it, or to fall and claim for a foul he doesn't get awarded (something that has happened repeatedly). He just seems a little bit slower, less strong on the ball, his  touch has been heavy and he makes poor decisions with the ball.

      Hopefully a rest and then a full pre-season will see him right but i wonder if it's time to bring in another player to challenge Jota for that left sided role and see what we can get for Mane.

      He just turned 29 so he's not there yet at an age where we should consider finding his replacement. Getting close, though.

      To sell this kind of player this summer is probably not the best timing since i expect many teams to be hurting financially and unable/unwilling to pay top price for him.

      If we were to get a top player like a Haaland or Mbappe or Sancho i do think that means one of the front 3 has to go because we simply are not going to have 5 players of that quality for 3 spots.

      Cant see Mane being sold, unless he himself fancies a change like Gini.

      Lovely couple of goals today to finish the season, by his standards he hasn't been as good as previous years but class will always show in the end and hopefully after a rest he'll he back to his best next season.

      Spot on Cas, he will be back for sure and I'm sure we will see the brilliant and unstoppable Sadio back on the field, next season!


      Still stunned mmmklopp would trade him for Son and 45 million. They should be giving us money if anything!

      Could tell after the first 5 mins he was up for it yesterday, lovely zip to his passes and fantastic on the half turn. This was a lot closer to the usual sadio. He's had a tough season but would be insane to even contemplate letting him leave. He deserves the chance to come good.

      He'll be back to normal after the summer. I think we all have underestimated what kind of a toll all of this has taken on the players. No offseason before this season, injuries, no fans, lockdowns....they are just human.

      Think Sadio could benefit from some serious competition this year and I’m not talking about Divock. Still time left in the window to adress.

      He needs it and then that player should take over in a couple of years. Please not Traore.

      I've been impressed with Sadio during preseason and the first two games. Very lively, lots of different runs without the ball and quick decisions with the ball at feet. However, yesterday he looked a lot like last season Sadio. Lots of wrong decisions with the ball at feet, takes on way too many players and his dribbling sluggish by his standards.

      I'm not sure it would be fair to directly label him as reverting to last season's level since I genuinely have liked what I've seen from preseason up until yesterday's game (yesterday's game, so far, is the odd game out of the bunch). Also, there was about 2 or 3 other players that had an average game yesterday (Hendo, Robbo, and both Mo and Jota to a certain extent). However, if he does indeed revert to that level then Jota will take his place sooner rather than later.

      He was excellent yesterday. You know the mark of a player when he misses one, misses two, three, four chances...but still gets his goal at the end. He never lets his head go down or resigns himself to a 'bad day' in front of goal. Pure tenacity and never give up attitude. 'It will come'. Love that about him and he's been like that for us ever since he signed.

      Love this, puts to bed any suggestions of there being a divide between the two. Made up my mind 110% after watching this and Sadio's reaction to the question asked of him. Is there any problem between you and Salah? Watch his face...brought a smile to mine!!!

      A player not to be under estimated, will always find a way of scoring, one way or another !

      He played as a 10 in the last 2 games didn’t he? 1 goal after taking on about 4 players and then the assists today.
      Could be something to consider for us from time to time.

      Congratulations Sadio on the 100

      Even more remarkable is not one single penalty is included in that hundred.
