KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum sakho's show of disrespect

There's an elephant in my room? Where?

If you look down you can just see his trunk

It's more like a rats tail unfortunately.

Your extremely vocal on the negatives this season, what about the positives or do you ignore them? If so why? Your arguments lack balance.

And before you try and flip this around, yes we had a really poor January and February, but we've also had some excellent results this season which seem to be forgotten about.

I don't know how many times I've said we had a fantastic first half of the season. This is why I am so annoyed as it went down the drain in Jan and Feb and most here knew that such a thin squad would struggle in the second part given the intensity of Klopp's system.

I don't blame the intensity, I blame injuries to key players at key moments of the season. Chelsea have played pretty much the same side throughout the season and look where that consistency has got them, if we'd been as lucky as them with injuries who knows where we'd be in the league, personally I'd feel we'd be extremely close to Chelsea!
Yes the squad is thin and needs beefing up but I also believe this is a work in progress and don't expect everything to happen overnight, admittedly the squad should have been stronger this season though.

I agree, we are a work in progress.

We are all disappointed to lose against CP, but we are still in a much better position that I expected at this stage of the season, if anyone would have said to us at the start of the season we would have been 3rd with 4 games to go and we win those games to get CL, most of us would have took that.

I agreed with Klopp letting go allot of the fringe players who were not going to be part of his plans, where he went wrong was not buying enough quality replacements, we have been unlucky with injuries, so have Utd, but they can bring on the likes of Martial/Mkhitaryan/Shaw, we need more quality players, Klopp knows this now, hopefully that will be addressed in the summer.

My view is that Sakho is flamboyant and passionate and gets over excited and does some dumb things.
But every team needs a "character" or two to build enthusiasm and spirit, things which were absent during the Palace match.

I think Klopp just doesn't like him as a person, and that's why he has been dumped.

Exactly. We needed rotation to see the end of the season the way we competed in the first half. Without it, players got out of form and injured and the bench was too weak to give a comparable performance. When Matip is out our struggling defence is even worse, we all saw what happened when Mane was off to Africa in Jan, at least I would say Can did an ok job replacing Henderson while Origi and Lucas are nowhere near Mane and Lallana. With rotation with similar quality players, they would have been fitter in the 2nd half of the season. Too late now, we can only hope we do better than United and City to get over the line with CL qualification. That said, if CL qualification was not a target for Klopp who is still building the team this season, then fair enough.
