Probably. Mane was a bit lucky last night in the fact that his chances came in the last few minutes. In the context of the game, had he scored one of them, it would have made little difference. Napoli still would have only needed one and it was the clean sheet that was the key. Just an off game for him hopefully he gets out of his system by Sunday. He’s had his criticism for sure in the past though. I remember when he missed a chance in the Derby last year which cost us he got a lot of abuse from some quarters.

Firmino’s lack of care at keeping the ball this season has been frustrating, and he’s often losing it dangerous areas. Really got to cut that out.

Mané was diabolical with his finishing last night. Firmino has been frustrating all season, unfortunately he has no decent competition.

Not defending karius for one minute but he did ok for most of last season cost us 2 goals in the final and lost his job , yet mane Misses last night could have also cost us our European campaign and yet no criticism other than he had a poor game .

If you had an absolutely lethal striker like Fowler, Rush or Owen up top you do wonder how many extra goals we would score.

Yes but that’s not the point , it could of cost us . So I’m the same way we have a much more reliable keeper now so we need to get a striker that is more reliable ?

But it didn't cost us which is why he is getting so much grief... he also has won points for us single handedly in other games which is why we are more likely to forgive an off game. Stop treating individual performances in isolation.

It’s not really an anti mane post , more the need for consistency. I do rate him he just need to be more consistent and we should be more consistent in our assessment

If we'd scored 3 more goals and still won the CL final, nobody would have been so harsh on Karius. But he singlehandedly (literally nohandedly) lost that game. And has, by all accounts, continued to make costly errors since for Besiktas.
