Sadio Mané

Of course not. Salah does put some decent balls in at times. I just don't see why you're so defensive of the idea they don't get on and it could be affecting the team. Something is not right.

In your head most probably.

I’ve no idea if they get on or not, I was commenting on the idea that they would deliberately screw up passing to each other.

One of the two of them will be gone in the summer, you mark my words

The other day when mane got challenged by Christensen in the box, and didn't go down. I can imagine a scenario where he would rather take on the chance than go down, because Salah would take the pen anyway.

Well that's what Micahel Owen is suggesting in the quotes above.

I'd say it's more likely that Mane simply doesn't trust the officials to give a penalty now, rather than trying to deny Salah a scoring chance.

Yeah it's a nuts theory the way he puts it. It crossed my mind, not from a standpoint of ' don't want mo to score' but if you're a striker, who doesn't take pens, surely you would try to see the chance through.

Owen can shut up, he was a striker who took penalties and his record taking them was ****, so maybe he'd have been better staying on his feet

It is just an idiotic theory being peddled by an idiot. The sort of things a child would blurt out to his mates in the schoolyard.


Whether they are best mates or not, they are still both very driven footballers who like to win and who will be on win bonuses for when the team wins games. Yes being driven and very talented probably means they will each back their own ability to get a goal, but I doubt if either would willingly and happily lose a game rather than supply the assist that lets the other score a winning goal.

And if they were doing something so ridiculous, do people think that their team mates and manager would not know and not take them to task over potentially costing the team results.

I see it more as Mane being so tired mentally as well as physically so he isn't quick enough to react to the contact by falling over.

Total bollocks, think of all the actors that hated each other but you'd never know it on screen because they're ****ing professionals.

But there is a professional rivalry. Mo is selfish and Sadie hates it.

Well Sadie was a bad friend, so Mo had to find love elsewhere.

That's the same Mo who is one of our top assist makers, every year?

Well of course he ****ing is. We only have about 3 attacking players in the entire team plus the fullbacks. So it stands to reason why occasionally he over runs the ball and it falls to one of our players.

**** off. In your head we are brilliant every week. Just unlucky.
