Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he held ‘heart-to-heart’ talks with Sadio Mane in a bid to get the winger back on track this season.
The Liverpool Echo report that the German pulled Mane into a meeting to discuss his form.
Of course we had talks. I cannot tell you what I told the player in a one-to-one meeting, but it was about what he did so far.
Good, good, good, good, good. One or two things not that good, but the rest good. So let’s build on that and ignore the rest.
That is how life is. You cannot think all the time about your mistakes because that makes no sense. You cannot forget all the good things.
Prior to his goal against Manchester City in the Reds’ 4-3 victory last week, Mane had struggled, scoring just once in six league games.
His goal against Manchester City was his sixth league goal in 15 appearances this season.
After a brilliant start to the season, the Senegal international endured a goal drought and looked short of confidence.
A high-profile miss in the Merseyside Derby against Everton appeared to get the better of the player mentally.
There had been some suggestions that the player had fallen out with team mate Mohamed Salah, but those reports have since been played down by the pair.
