KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Momadou Sakho

I don't think that's true at all. Just a myth. Plenty of players who are seen as two-footed players (Messi, Erikson, Bale, Cruyff, for example) are naturally left-footed. Being able to use your weak foot has nothing to do with what side you start with, it's just discipline and practice. Besides, Sakho has played on the right for PSG plenty of times. Besides, aren't Ferdinand and Vidic both lefties?

According to transfermarket.com, both Ferdinand and Vidic are right footed. But most right footed player have also a relatively good left foot unlike true lefties. In any case, why do you think BR hasn't tried Sakho and Agger in the centre, he has already tried the other permutations and combinations?

Would love to see the research to back up that claim.

I've watched a lot of games and heard a lot of experts in my lifetime, you don't need to believe if you don't want to. Maradona, one of the best players ever, could hardly kick the ball with his right foot but could do anything with his left foot, even cooking probably. Messi has a much better right foot, but, will not be able to play as a right winger though Johnson and even Sterling do the job on the left. Wenger said once, true left footies are a special breed technically, but, use their right foot mainly as a support to stand. I might be mistaken, but so far BR hasn't played Sakho and Agger together in the centre, there must be a reason, he has used all other combinations available.

Should be back either next week or the week after according to Rodgers. The question is, is he good enough to change our defence? IMO yes.

Those our opinions not facts.

SO there is no research to back up tour original claim?

Gerrard cannot sweep the whole area in front of the back four all by himself, while both Coutinho and Henderson join the attack (very effectively, may I say). The truth of the matter is, no football team today can have the luxury of putting five players constantly in forward position, with just one to cover the back four. It's the reason we've been so brilliant in attack, so awkward when defending. This is our playing style at the moment, you take it with all of its promise and all of its peril. However, things can be improved defensively without compromising our attacking options if we can cut down on the clumsiness and the number of unforced errors at the back. No matter what, the way we're playing, we shall be shipping in more goals at the back, but scoring even more at the other end. So far, it has worked in most games.
