Sadio Mane fumes at the bench because of Mohammed Salah’s refusal to pass the ball to him

Sadio Mane fumes at the bench because of Mohammed Salah’s refusal to pass the ball to him during their Premier League victory over Burnley.

Liverpool have been a well-oiled machine under Jurgen Klopp so far. They have conquered all 4 oppositions placed in front of them. However, signs of trouble have approached the Reds for the first time in a long time.

Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have been absolutely brilliant for Liverpool and have carried their form from the last season over. They have plundered opposition defences and have found the back of the net 12 times in 4 matches.

It was no different tonight as they beat Burnley 3-0. However, the score could have easily been 4-0 had Salah been a little more aware of his surroundings. The Egyptian took on the opposition defenders and backed himself to score despite Mane being in a much more preferable position.

He failed to find the net. Their 3-0 cushion meant that not many would have fussed over it. However, Sadio Mane was livid at Salah’s actions and made his feelings known once he was substituted.

Normally a very calm man, Sadio Mane was seen raging at the bench after he was substituted in the 85th minute. He was so mad that his teammates had to calm him down.

“Sadio Mane is an emotional guy, we are all individuals,” Klopp told Sky Sports after the match.

“Something went not like he wanted; it is not the substitution. We will clarify it in the dressing room.”

Liverpool have built a fantastic side with their foundation on team spirit. Klopp will have to address and fix the issue before it undoes all the work he has done in the seasons prior.
