Sakho has contributed a hell of a lot more than Balotelli ever did!


Yes but both haven't fulfilled their potential at Liverpool partly because of their temperament.


Balotelli won't be fulfilling any potential at Liverpool bearing in mind he isn't one of our players anymore!

Sakho needs to concentrate on playing football and impressing Klopp, I doubt we will see him play for Liverpool again. One thing that has impressed me with Klopp is that he builds a team of players who all have a job and know it, working hard together, we don't have superstars who Klopp lauds above the rest.

Sakho's behaviour has made him stand out from the team and he has fallen below the expected stanbdards, Klopp will not and should not tolerate that as it sends out the wrong message, Klopp's teams are not built and do not play that way.

I expect in January Sakho will go on loaned or be sold, I was surprised when we got him from PSG as he was supposed to be one of their top players, so to be able to get him from such a super rich big club was a surprise, so maybe they knew allot more about him ands were happy to get rid?

Looking at his international career and being captain of PSG, I thought he could be a very decent player when he joined. I did wonder why he had joined us though because we had finished 6th or 7th the season before. He started off OK and last season there were some impressive performances against Utd and Dortmund in the Europa. It's been said 100 times before, but there has been certain recurring themes and this last act I would think will be the final straw.

I know and Sakho may be gone shortly.

Klopp is all for improving the players we have through training rather than blowing loads of money. The same should apply to Sakho. He has the skills but just needs to work on his attitude and all is good. Surely Klopp can train this into him? Also he didn't really say all that much, he had a whinge on social media due to being frustrated. We stuck by Suarez during the biting and racism incident and we have stood by others for much worse. I would hope this wouldn't be the end of his chances

Suarez got back in the side because he worked incredibly hard and was a much better player than Sakho even if they do play in different positions. Sakho messed around, turned late, missed sessions, and according to Klopp is still unfit, I wonder why?

Not only is Sakho replaceable, we have defenders just as good in the squad already in my opinion without the attitude problems.

I think you answered your own question, managers can improve players through training, but a players behaviour/attitude/professionalism is their responsibility and a manager cannot do much to change that apart from taking action, such as dropping them/fining them, beyond that there is not much a manager can do. It seems Sakho has already done a few things to be in trouble, a player can be given leeway and read the riot act for 1 incident, but having repeated it several times since, you think the message has had no affect and the player will not change.

Suarez was a much more valuable asset and better player, unfortunately clubs deal with players on their value to the team/club, if Suarez would have been a fringe player he would have been chucked out the club, unfortunately that's just how clubs act with players. The only other difference with Suarez was that his behaviour like the biting was a spontaneous knee jerk reaction on the pitch, Sakho's behaviour appears to be more thought out than spontaneous.

i dont get it . not a top defender and certainly not irreplaceable. he did win hearts with off the field acts and its time that all doesnt stop us from analyzing him just as any other faulty n inconsistent player.

i saw highlights of the Dortmund game last night. we did win and Sakho was on the score sheet but all the 3 we conceded ,one could see it was Sakho on all the three occasions getting found out by them.

I think we get a bit excited when we say he was the psg captain. I'm pretty sure that it was a completely different side when he was there. I'd be surprised if we got our money back. Unless he goes to Italy and we get €15mil over 24 years

He's too inconsistent and immature by the looks of things.
