KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Mamadou Sakho

i hope he keeps his head down and is forgiven for his mistakes. unlike most in here i like him as a player and think he could make a mean partnership with matip

I don't think he can compete against Lovren. Sakho doesn't seem dominant enough, he seems to rely on last ditch stuff and it doesn't always come off and then there's the mistakes as well that occur more than expected.

that's exactly what I thought when I read someone said he was good at interceptions, he is but it's partly because of that. heart in the mouth defender. he will have his chance to restore himself this season, I can't see him not doing.

Klavan, Matip and Lovren are better central defenders. He is a no longer essential. His disrespect of the manager and the club indicate a lacking in character and that will not be changed by saying sorry.

He is a good footballer but this is Klopp's Liverpool and he only wants committed professionals on the park.

This is the new Liverpool, and silly spoiled bitches will not be tolerated.

I hope he is given a fair chance on form and working himself back into the team, as long as he trains and is reliable, the same as we expect from all players, I have no problem with him being selected.

I would say Lovren and Matip are the first choice CB, I've not seen enough of Klavan to fully judge him yet, but I would not say he's much better/worse than Sakho, but based that we paid a quarter of Sakho's fee for him, that's ok and he was bought as cover to replace Skrtel, I'd say they are both good cover.

Hopefully Gomez wlll be back soon, but he will take time after so long out. I would have Lucas after them as CB cover, as he tends to give away too many free kicks around the area and does not compete in the air as well (fair enough as he's not a CB really), so he should be emergency cover only if the 4 CB's are not available.

If we sell/loan Sakho, which seems likely with the way we tried to send him on loan, hopefully Klopp can find another Matip as he has been really impressive and just shows what good knowledge/scouting can do, as I had never heard of Matip before Klopp got him, but based on the price of Stones/Bailly/Luis etc we get an absolute bargain.

I see we have been linked with Phil Jones recently, I think he's a good player if he can get fit and keep away from injuries, I just can't see us ever signing a player from Man Utd directly, or vice versa!!!

hear hear sakho is decent at best , but for me should have moved on .

Agree on Lovren and Matip from what I've seen of them together this season. However he's better than Klavan who has been signed as back up.

I think Sakho should be allowed back into the squad. Having 4 CB's all competing for 2 spots will keep the players on their feet. Competition is always good because it tends to get the best out of players. But i think the whole sakho klopp situation needs to be corrected first.

He will be back if he deserves to
