KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Why Not Agger & Sakho?

Hiya all.

I'd like to know opinions on why it is so many think two left-footed CBs cannot partner effectively. To me, this seems ludicrous; why can two right-footed players/CBs be no problem but two left-footed?-- the answer seems to be "no way". Why? This implies that left-footed players are somehow more limited than right-footed players.
I would think it matters more if those two players compliment one another-- which imo, Agger/Sakho compliment one another well. Agger is great on the ball, passing & bringing it out of defense, & Sakho is big, agile, & great in the air, etc...

Simply put, I see no reason that pairing would be ineffective. Yet, almost everywhere there are comments/articles & the like it seems the overall impression of most fans/pundits is it wouldn't work well.

What's your thoughts?

I cant see any reason it would be worse than two right footers, but I think the ideal would be to have a mix.

With Sakho and Agger, maybe people just think neither of them are suited to playing the RCB position.

I wouldn't mind seeing it tried though. But think we should also try Toure and Sakho. especially against the more physical teams

Have Sakho and Agger not played together yet?

Not as a CB pairing. They played together when we played all 4 CB's and probably when we played 3 CB's though

No, but I'd think they'd be suited to it. I was a centre half myself, and I never really minded one side or the other. You have to use both feet anyway.

I don't understand what's going on at the back, why hasnt Rodgers picked his centre back pairing. We should try and pay with the same back line as much as possible.

+1

I think br does not no who his best pairing is..... Yet!!

agger is not playing well...sahko skrtel looked good.

i would play sako and agger with less physical team and play sako and toure with hull and stoke ( under pulis anyway)

Agger is slower then Flanno. I'm worried Lennon or Townsed will give him a tough time as a fullback. I'd rather have flanno play there, tbh, unless we have Cissoko play. I want to see Sakho/Agger or Sakho Toure as a CB paring though.
