I agree those guys were plain evil
Mane and Salah would probably be fine, they aren't "personalities" they have that meekness that white folks like.
Klopp wouldn't tolerate the bullying Gerrard and Carra used to do.
The meekness almost cost Mane, initially they tried bullying him
Arrant Rubbish!! :veryangry:

Diouf didnt apply himself when he was at Liverpool which didnt endear him to his team mates who were desparate to win trophies for their hometown club. Did they bully Suarez, Torres, Sterling, Anelka, Cisse etc??
I know you all want to be seen to support a fellow African but dont try to rewrite history.
The most agreeable comment so far. Talent is not only about dribbles and skills, it also reaches out character as well. There is a reason why the likes of Mane will be remembered for a long time at Liverpool, it is not because of their skills alone, but also because of their personality. Diouf came to Liverpool like a man plied heavily with Viagra.. Fake Viagra that ran out of its potency. Was he being bullied when he decided to go spitting at people like a cobra?

Bros....Gerard is an okay guy. Diouf is not exactly Mr congeniality himself.

He deserved the 1st one but not the 2nd...francophone coaches voted along language lines when he clearly wasnt having a season as good as Okocha in the epl

Oloye, if Mane has to explain the disrespect he endures at Liverpool you will take pity on him. He was disrespected as a black African. A little while ago, it spills over in one of their games when he had a run in with Mo Sallah not passing to him, whereas the year before he assisted Mo in majority of his goals.

Is a thing to which we blacks are wise.
Her bandage hides two festering sores
That once perhaps were eyes."

Diouf fought with the whole team but Gerrard also prejudged him and Diao, he said it as much in his autobio.
