Scored a worldie but looked like he had just scored a consolation goal.

Yeah I saw that as well. I hope we are not reading to much into it but he could be just unhappy with his own performance.

Think that's his general demeanor. he's been inconsistent and in and out the squad for a while. He was a sulk at Southampton, but he's got to realise he's part of a bigger and better squad. I think Klopp won't risk anything on Friday. He'll play the so called Fab Four provided PipCo is still here which i highly doubt.

He said after the game he’s unwell which was why he came off early, he’d been unwell before the game.

Is the old dummy/ bench attitude kicking in?!
Hope not but it could be?
He has been a tad off his usual levels of late!

Think we read too much into body language, especially erring when we look for only perfect signs of positivity lol

He's had a tough patch, been criticized and has fallen out of the linelight. Thw goal did him good and unfortunate he was brought off. He may have used the extra time and momentum.

I don't think Mane likes Salah.

Against Leicester, Mane played a beautiful pass in to Salah for a goal. Then on two separate occasions Salah should've set up Mane but wasted the chance by trying to chip the keeper.

On the first one, Mane pointed in front of him and features that Salah should've cut it back. On the second one, Mane just looked up at the Sky in despair and jogged off.

I think he feels as though Salah doesn't want to set him up. Mane needs to realise that he is just as greedy at times though (see the Everton game for reference) .

Mane was a fan favourite last season and widely regarded as our best player. This season he has been over shadowed by not one, not two, but 3 other players! I think he's taking it badly, and Klopp benching him isn't helping his confidence. Mane still has the quality to beat anyone on his day though and I'm sure he'll get over this.

Mk I totally agree with that salah could have set up many goals with chances he has missed. Still a brilliant player for us would be even better if he passed more often rather than take a half chance.

He’s been the same since Klopp brought him on in the 89th minute against Chelsea and they had a post match tiff on the pitch. I think it’s a tad disrespectful to bring him on in the 89th minute tbh.

Walter, i don't mind him being a bit greedy if I'm honest. I am just trying to put myself in Mane's shoes and making a total guess at why he seems down right now.

Ron makes a good point too though. Mane has been repeatedly left out for Coutinho who has actively tried to force a move. To then sub him on in the 89th minute rubs salt into the wounds.

He's not even playing badly. He has 8 goals and 5 assists at the half way stage. Last season he finished with 13 goals and 5 assists. So he is at least on course to match his goals tally and certain to beat his assists tally. He's still playing to a good standard. Salah and Firmino in particular have just set the bar higher this season.

Mane and Salah are best mates apparently.

Yeah I'm sure I read that Salah said him and Mane are best mates in one of his interviews. Even as best mates though they will still get frustrated with each other on the pitch. It's that winning mentality.

Everybody needs to calm down. Mane reportedly said that he was not feeling well before the game and btw, we need him for Everton so it was normal for him to come off if true tho of course, he would have been disappointed to come off. BTW, Klopp said the whole DR applauded Mane after the game for the goal so in the end, there's nothing to see here, IMO.
