Sadio Mane insists Liverpool are capable of winning all remaining games

Sadio Mane insists Liverpool are capable of winning all remaining games
Sky Sports
Last Updated: 03/02/18 7:44am


Sadio Mane believes Liverpool are good enough to win every game between now and the end of the season, insisting the club are in a "good way".

After embarking on the longest unbeaten run of the Jurgen Klopp era in recent months, Liverpool have struggled since inflicting a first league defeat on Manchester City two weeks ago.

The 18-match unbeaten run coming to an end in surprising fashion at struggling Swansea, before Liverpool were knocked out of the FA Cup by West Brom at Anfield.

Victory over Huddersfield in midweek, coupled with Chelsea's shock loss at home to Bournemouth, ensured the Reds jumped to third, two points ahead of Tottenham in fifth prior to their meeting at Anfield on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Premier League.

Mane, speaking exclusively to Sky Sports, believes that while any talk of a title challenge is premature, the team are confident against any opposition.

"Of course we want to win every game, Mane said. "But sometimes it is difficult to play against teams who just drop back and try to defend.

"Against big teams, it can be complicated, but like I have always said, we can beat any team in the league, even in the world. It will be a tough game, but it is possible to win.

"It is too early to talk about winning any titles, but our aim is to try and win every single game until the end of the season - why not?


Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he does not understand why midfielder Jordan Henderson sometimes comes in for criticism

"The team spirit is great, we are all happy to be playing alongside each other. There have been some difficult years here, but that happens to every single club in the world. We are in a good way now, so everything is possible."

Mane reserved special praise for Liverpool's record signing Virgil van Dijk, despite seeing his former team-mate benched for the midweek success at Huddersfield.

"He is a great player," Mane added. "I know him very well from my time at Southampton. He is a very good addition for us and we are very happy to have him in the team.


Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp does not expect to see the best of Virgil van Dijk until next season but says he is happy with how he has started life at Anfield.

"He is doing well. He is strong and technically good. He reads the game well and wants to win every single ball."

Mane himself has suffered from injury and suspension absences this campaign, hampering his effectiveness in front of goal. Mane's tally of just six league goals is dwarfed by Mohamed Salah's impressive return of 19, but Mane is adamant there is still time for him to catch up.

"There have been some difficult weeks for me," Mane added. "It is part of football. All I can do is do my best, score goals, give assists and do my best for my team.

"We still have many games to play, it is too early to speak about how many goals I will get this season."

I usually dodge the talk-it-up PR bullshit stream of inane unconscious. However, I think our Sadio is correct, though I have toadmit I'd be even more optimistic of such an outcome and thus a certain ECL winners medal,had we had kept hold of the likes of Couts and Sturridge, OR had we recruited adequate replacements.

Our Lady Of Luck really needs to smile on us now over the last 20 games and thus we don't suffer any major injuries to the Fab 3 :) Lallana goes to Lourdes in order to throw off his crutches and makes it the Fab 4 once again and the Ox and VVD become all we HOPE and pray them to be, AMEN.

are you like this in real life, do you think its normal behavior to be so negative.

Time to kick this into touch Rome, just for rest and get on to the solid meat of supporting Liverpool? Otherwise we reach saturation point whence Shakespeare's, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" cuts in. Chares old boy :))

Does my head in when before a match the players talk a big game. So many times they’ve failed to deliver after bugging themselves up. I rarely hear city players go on about how good they are. I wish we did our talking on the pitch. Hopefully they’ll back it up tomorrow

Lallana is usually one of the main ones who mouths off and then proceeds to have a howler the next game individually and collectively... Milner and Hendo are usually restrained.

Mane's words could be taken out a context a bit.. unfamiliarity with the language

Was thinking the same thing. Too bad is wasn't Lallana this time, as I don't expect him to start.

Agree though, suggesting we are "capable of winning all remaining games" is nothing different from suggesting the opposite. Move on. Not much to see here.

Whatever Mane says has zero bearing on what will happen in tomorrow’s game.

Can’t remember the last time any current footballer on any team said something that was interesting about the game or gave the fans some insight. It’s all cliches , wishful thinking and groundless boasting. Might as well listen to Vince McMahons’s WWE performers being interviewed.

Sadio needs to up his game a little in order to bring his hopes to fruition.

Mane is bang out of form and has been for a while . Just need him to regain it and we will be flying again . All good players go through barren patches and he is in one even though he has scored 2 crackers in that spell.

Mane of last season was an instinctive player - this season, he thinks a bit too much IMO.. that extra vital second or two, where he'd just go past a player or smash it goalwards... This season, he's stopping, thinking, deciding if to try and go past his opponent or pass to another in Red...

that's the difference

Maybe all the spontaneous, instinctive play has been coached out of him...?
A matter of time before one or two others are similarly affected...?

I think he has reverted to normal form.
