# Liverpool: Fans criticise Sadio Mane’s comments on Roberto Firmino

**Many Liverpool fans have been reacting to comments made by Sadio Mane about struggling teammate Roberto Firmino.**

Speaking to ESPN (cited by [Anfield Watch](https://twitter.com/AnfieldWatch/status/1364212877775798273)), the 28-year-old stated that the Brazilian was his “favourite team-mate,” adding that he and Mohamed Salah would not have scored as many goals had it not been for the efforts of Firmino.

Despite scoring [six](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/96182/Show/Roberto-Firmino) goals and providing [five](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/96182/Show/Roberto-Firmino) assists from [25](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/96182/Show/Roberto-Firmino) appearances for Liverpool during the 2020/21 campaign, Firmino has found himself [under the magnifying glass](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-roberto-firmino-everton-premier-league-jurgen-klopp-anfield-merseyside-derby-match-reaction-fans-react-twitter/) on a number of occasions.

In his last five games, Firmino has only managed to achieve a Whoscored match rating of above seven just [once](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/96182/MatchStatistics/Roberto-Firmino), and former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher told [Sky Sports](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDpSE0AvLp0) that he is “worried” about the Brazilian’s inconsistency.

Because of this, supporters had to disagree with what Mane said. One fan even went as far as saying that he should leave the club for his remarks.
