German coach knows all he lost with Mané's departure, but has a solution 

While Liverpool found a way to beat Napoli at Anfield with two fortunate moves from corners, in Germany Bayern Munich did not have such an easy game against Inter either, with former Reds player Sadio Mané suffering greatly as he was unable to find the ball for 66 minutes on the pitch.

Once again, this type of adverse situation at Liverpool made the fans think that it was a bad decision to let their Senegalese striker leave for Germany, because in these tight Champions League matches, the English institution and the African striker would look to score points in any way they could.

Although the Reds were barely able to achieve their goal with goals from Mohamed Salah in the 85th minute and Darwin Núñez in the 97th minute, at Bayern Munich Sadio Mané is still unable to be decisive and match the high effectiveness of Robert Lewandowski a few months ago, with the Senegalese only talking about a handball he committed inside the box that had to be penalised as a penalty for his Italian opponents.

It is unfortunate that Sadio Mané's most talked about play in the match against Inter was a possible handball inside the box, but it is even more incredible to believe that his participation throughout 66 minutes was just one shot on goal, touching the ball very little in the final third of the pitch and being more of a spectator of what his team wanted to achieve throughout the match.

<strong>Klopp wants to make Mané forget</strong>

While it is true that at times Liverpool's attack is unorganised and at others lacking in ideas and good football, somehow the Reds are still finding a way to keep scoring goals and stay afloat in the Champions League at least, but in the case of Mané, Mané does not have the same luck and his performances do end up weighing heavily on the game even when his club gets positive results like the 2-0 win last time out, causing the Bavarian side to demand that he does not shine and stand out as he did at Anfield a few months ago.
