Sadio Mane Opens Up on His Frustrations Over Liverpool's Recent Form

Published on: 12 December 2016

Liverpool winger Sadio Mane is very disappointed with Liverpool's form at the moment. A few weeks ago, they seemed untouchable, but they have since crashed back to earth, leaving the former Southampton man quite frustrated.


Personally, Mane has been in fine form this season. He has scored seven goals and made four assists in 16 appearances for the club. But in spite of that fact, the Reds trail Chelsea by six points at the moment.

Mane insists that he isn't upset because Chelsea are leading the pack, but he's rather agitated because the club dropped points in matches that they could have easily won.


"I'm not frustrated about Chelsea [leading], but maybe because we didn't win the games we should win," he said toSky Sports.


"But it can happen in football, so it does not affect anyone in the team. We're going to do our best to win the next game.

"It's not easy. If you think you can win the game after thinking you can win the game, scoring and creating chances, and then not winning.


"Of course it's not easy, but we cannot focus on that, because we have so many games left in the season, it's long, and we try to take it game-by-game.


"Of course [I get frustrated] in those types of games. Not only me because we know our quality, we know we should win the game, and if we didn't win it's no problem, we have to focus on the next games."

The Senegalese also backed teammate Loris Karius to come good this season.


"I think he will keep doing his best for the team, and do his best for the next game and keep helping, so what is behind is behind.


"I think in football everybody gets this kind of criticism. The reaction is more important now."
