  • A number of football fans on social media are now convinced Sadio Mane was the ‘it’ factor for Liverpool
  • The Reds are winless in their opening three games, and have scored just four goals so far this season
  • On the other hand, Mane is thriving at Bayern Munich and has 4 goals under his belt already

Following their latest slump in the league, Liverpool are now being handed a brutal reality check on social media by a large section of fans.

The Reds find themselves in unfamiliar territory, having failed to win any of their opening three games of the 2022/23 campaign.

Jurgen Klopp’s side is already seven points behind pace-setters Arsenal at the top of the table, and one can easily make a case that their title ambitions are slipping away.

Their latest dip, a defeat against an out-of-sorts Manchester United, raised alarm bells on what could potentially be a disastrous season at Anfield.

After the game, Klopp seemed to hint that his side’s injury crisis was a key factor in their recent performances as he sets his sights on the Bournemouth game.

"I'm concerned about our situation, it's not easy at the moment but that's how it is. We prepare now for Bournemouth, Newcastle and Everton - that's how it is. We can play better, we know that, but we had a lot of good moments and performances today.

"From tomorrow, we will fight against it." He said as quoted by Sky Sports.

But fans on social media beg to differ, as they attribute the Red’s slump to the departure of one man – Sadio Mane.

Here are some of the messages that rang on Twitter after defeat to Manchester United:

“Chelsea fans miss Eden Hazard every day since he left in 2019, I’m getting the feeling that Liverpool fans are missing their old number 10 as well Sadio Mane after yesterdays game.

“I know people don't wanna say it and yes they have alot of injuries but Liverpool miss Sadio Mane,” Premier League legend Darren Bent added.

“When are we going to accept that Sadio Mane carried Liverpool and not Mohamed Salah?
“It's not the same Liverpool anymore... Sadio Mané was the man carrying them
“Sadio mane carried Liverpool but yeah because his picture doesn't look pretty on newspapers on Monday morning,he was thrown away for peanuts
