If Sakho is at best a 'last ditch' defender - what is Lovren??? What is Lucas at CB???
Sakho seems a bit of a lad in the dressing room - but other than that no one has any proof of any real wrong-doing. Each team has some 40 odd players on the books - don't you think a few of those are a bit cocky and arrogant? I don't see Sakho as being a lot different to a lot of players really - and I'm not sure why people want to make him a scapegoat. He's captained France - he can't be that bad.
As for Benteke, if he's one dimensional that can only do the big man thing with route one crosses, why does he score half his goals with his feet? If he's just a lump that slows everything down then why are Palace scoring most of their goals on the counter. Is he really any slower or that much different of a player to Origi? People who belittle him based on a small period when he was in and out of our team and never receiving any service (we never had any wingers worth a damn!) just don't seem to know football. He's scored some crackers for a number of teams - and posts some great numbers. He's got 16 this season - how many do our strikers have? I'm not saying buy him back - but to call him a 'garbage player' just smacks of ignorance or stupidity.
Sakho is a clown and although we don't know what went on behind closed doors, it was obviously bad enough to get him booted out. Klopp ain't stupid and wouldn't have binned him without good reason. And to say that he captained France so can't be that bad is like saying Djimi Traore is a world beater as he has a Champions leage medal.
And if Benteke is the kind of player you say, then why did he not fit into our team? Not many on here are saying he's a bad player but he wasn't the right fit for us and proved it over the season.
