Apart from the Palace celebration or whatever, why are you selling arguably your best CB anyway? Never got the full story/looked for it

You rate him? Never got the cult thing with Sakho. On his day he can be great. But those days are few and far between. All arms and legs and little coordination to me from his head to them.

A culmination of a multitude of transgressions going back to Rodgers that this manager finally had enough of and who'd he totally be undermined by to the rest of the squad if he brought him back into the group.
 
Sakho was instrumental to Palace last year imo, was good but I agree he can be inconsistent. Then again that inconsistncy label can be tagged to Lovren, Klaven etc.
 
Sakho at Palace. Lovren at Southampton. Keane at Burnley for another. The list is endless. In the right system in a defensive side anyone can stand out.

All relative to the system. Chris Smalling's a continued woeful liability every time he's on a football pitch. But even he looked secure in van Gaal's system. Lovren looked great his year at Southampton when he had Schneiderlin and Wynama sat deep just in front of him protecting. Without that, and having to actually think for himself and do more on the ball at L'pool, not so much.

But then to be fair, Matip's been far from great either. Started off brilliant. Got injured. ***** the second half of last year on his return and this up until a great display against Palace Sat'day.

We'll concede goals even when van Dijk is back there down to the nature of our play and the chances we take going the other way. But at least he'll be far more reliable to leave one-on-one than Lovren and should be a big plus both areas from set-pieces which would help things a bunch.

Ok, I'll take being in any of these groups in this order please

Group H Madrid/ Dortmund.
Group B Munich/ PSG.
Group G Monaco/ Porto.
 
Ok, frigging Moscow aside, made up with Seville and Maribor.

Maribor be an absolutely brilliant trip and cheap. And Seville, as Anthony pointed out, is Seville.

Two out of three aint' bad. L'pool and Seville would qualify there you'd think.

Would have loved Groups G, H or B in that order, but made up with Maribor and Seville.

See what the dates are but it couldn't be December mate. No Russian teams at home the last group round.

But you made me laugh out loud regardless.

You'd be disappointed not to qualify. Top finish will be tough, but doable.

In fact, all but Spurs should be looking to qualify
 
Sakho gets unfairly labelled as uncoordinated in my opinion, he has a weird technique so people don't actually bother to pay attention to what he does, or his stats, he's actually a superb ball-player. Career passing percentage of 86.9% ( https://www.whoscored.com/Players/29575/History/Mamadou-Sakho ) considering he attempts more than just sideways passes is exceptional. It's a higher percentage for his Liverpool career too than say his games at Palace, where clearly there is much more long ball football.

Jumping to conclusions about him being unreliable based on the aesthetics of his playing style is quite lazy, I wish his relationship with Klopp could be salvaged because Sakho-Matip would be a massive upgrade on Lovren-Matip

I agree with you that he is excellent on the ball and lets be honest he is better defensively than both Matip and Lovren. However there's a reason he got turfed out of PSG and now LFC, the guy is a well known ******** who doesn't have a professional bone in his body. Even the conman complained about his unprofessionalism and that says alot about Sakho's character.
 
Sound. Then hopefully Palace, West Brom or whoever will look at those stats and take the ***** off our hands by next Thursday.

Talking of .....

Awwwww, your heart just bleeds. Poor fella'

Southampton are gonna' make us wait until the end of the deadline for van Dijk aren't they?

Fascinated to see who else they have lined up after Klopp's comments earlier. We've never really gone the last day the summer window before since this way came in. Fixing to be a whole new mad experience.
