Sadio Mane is ready to feature for Liverpool at striker going forward, though he admits he was nervous prior to his double against Watford midweek.

With Roberto Firmino injured, Jurgen Klopp turned to Mane as his No.9, keeping Mohamed Salah on the right, shifting Divock Origi to the left and leaving Daniel Sturridge on the bench for the clash against the Hornets.

And Mane admitted he was surprised and a bit nervous to get the call to lead the line, having never done so for Klopp before.

"To be honest I was quite surprised," Mane told Sky Sports. "I never played there before, I was nervous.

"Before the game, the coach called me and said 'okay we are going to make some changes, Sadio you have to play No.9'.

"I said 'Oh!', and I looked at my team-mates… I was laughing and I said 'we are a team so you have to trust me!'.

"They were all laughing at me but I said 'from today, call me Ronaldo or Firmino!'.

"Gini [Wijnaldum] said 'You have to score. If you score we'll call you Ronaldo, if not, you're s***!'.

"I was lucky to score two goals but honestly I don't mind. I'm happy to play left or right side but if the team or the coach needs me as a striker, I'll try again."

Liverpool fans on action against Ramos. check out.

A petition on  Change.org  entitled "UEFA and FIFA should punish Sergio Ramos for intentionally hurting Mohamed Salah" has already amassed over 125,000 signatures. "Sergio Ramos intentionally kept Mohamed Salah's arm under his armpit, causing dislocation of his shoulder," the details read. "In addition, he kept acting that Liverpool players fouled him falsely, causing the referee to give Mane a yellow card he did not deserve. "Sergio Ramos represents an awful example to future generations of football players. Instead of winning matches fairly, he uses tricks that defy the spirit of the game and fair play. "UEFA and FIFA should take measures against Ramos and similar players, using the video recordings of matches to keep the spirit of the game." If you also agree with the Liverpool fans then must share... and save the beautiful game football.

The Lionel Messi Trophy? Yes! Tebas open to idea for LaLiga's best player Lionel Messi is "the best in football history" and LaLiga president Javier Tebas is open to naming a trophy for the competition's best player in his honour. Barcelona superstar Messi, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, is LaLiga's all-time leading goalscorer on 390 and has lifted the title on nine occasions. The Spanish top-flight's end-of-season awards have not been handed out since the 2015-16 campaign due to a desire to reformat, and Tebas would be keen to show recognition for the 31-year-old in the same way daily sports newspaper Marca have named accolades after Telmo Zarra, Rafael 'Pichichi' Moreno and Ricardo Zamora. Asked about dedicating a trophy to Messi, Tebas told Omnisport: "I like that idea, we would have to think about. "I think Messi will be the best in football history, he already is. "Some people talk about Neymar but h...
