Sadio Mané

[SB]

Maybe in the last 5 mins mate but prior to that no chance was he brilliant

[Fredo]

You've got your eyes in the wrong place.

[Buzzo]

What the **** you both talking about? Sadio was excellent tonight.

Not quite sure about excellent, but a more than adequate performance. As ever, no matter what happens someone has to be ****e.

Was sloppy a few times and got caught out in possession, but his movement and turn of pace and his general all round play were excellent IMO. I thought that he might have given Klopp a reason to start the final in this position, with Diaz on the left. His cleverness and all round ability and movement, he can certainly make this position his own. He's scored 3 goals over the past few games.

Options.

[Buzzo]

Definitely options. Crazy amount of options. Klopp is soooo good at managing them and keeping expectations in line. Everyone gets a chance and a start.

Mane has scored three or 4 goals since the Afcon - and looks really confident again. The finish for his first was superb.

[BigChief]

I agree with options. He gives us that for sure.

[Fredo]

Klopp just endorsed him in that position.

Saying he opened up spaces for the others with his movement and interpretation of the position.

[Buzzo]

2 goals and we have just roasted Leeds 6 nil. He must have been doing something right

Two excellent finishes but he wasn't great outside of the goals. Sounds weird when as he scored two great goals and got a pen for us but then again he was poor in the last game and scored an overhead kick.

I suppose we'd all take him being poor but still scoring.

Fair enough, but honestly Leeds opened up their butt cheeks and provided the correct lubricant all game.

You had to put a downer on things don't you? Watch the highlights or the game again.

[Fosterbloke]

I'm not sure we would cope with losing the ball in midfield to Chelsea which Mane does with his piss poor touch. I think I'd rather see Diaz, Jota and Salah for the final.

[Scratch]

I thought Sadio was great, dropping deep and always being available, dragging a Leeds player out of position every time he did so. Nice that he popped up with 2 goals at the end, but even without the goals he offered enough to impress in that role.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: "In the end it went pretty smoothly. It was really hard work because they make it hard work. It is tricky playing against a man marking side, you feel pressure where no pressure is.

"We had to be fully concentrated and we were and in the end it is a wonderful night. There might be some people out there who think penalties you should not count them but you want the right person on the spot to put them away and that is what Mo did.

"Sadio Mane's game was probably one of his best in the way he interpreted his role. Absolutely insane.

"In the end top game, top for the people. In a really good shape and a wonderful night at Anfield.

"Leeds had good spells but I think it is really difficult to play the way they did for 90 minutes against a team like us.

"I am not excited, it is normal after a night like this people get carried away and that is fine but Sunday is looming and we have to be ready for this.

"We have 10 days no league game and City probably playing in that time. It is how it is and we have to win our football games and if we do that we will be around and if we don't do that we won't."
