It's funny. I live in the U.S. and before every game the analysts robbie earl and an ex american player talk about how poor sakho is on the ball and how the opposition should focus on pressing him. Always makes me think of a quote from snatch. Sakho is good on the ball but looks as though he shouldn't be.
23 Mar 2015 19:32:04
Dude I feel ya! Every time they say that. Every time they get proved wrong. UGH!

Sakho is fast becoming the rock of our defence, if not already. The opposition seem to have given up trying to go through him, you have to go around him.

I really like the way he always find the right pass - almost never backwards and always a good ball.

It was the same Mustoe who said we should have just bowed to SG`s demands as well as Sterling`s just so we could avoid all the drama and by magic, SG wold not have lost his head and Sterling would have signed already. Dumb comments!! They make good points atimes BT on that topic that as well as Sahko`s topic, they are dead wrong.

I must admit guys I always thought Sakho was bad on the ball, I didn't really watch much of him to be honest but I thought this notion was the the general consensus. So I take it buy this thread u don't think he is? I can't not take your guys opinion as right I guess cause u watch him a lot more than me.
He didn't look shakey yesterday I have to agree.

I'm just glad they stopped the experiments with the American announcers because if I had to hear Gus Johnson yelling about some shot from 40 out that was clearly going wide from the time it left the foot I'd have started watching figure skating.

and chris, I think he looks really clumsy but more often than not does make good decisions. He's had to spend a lot of time out this season. More importantly, it's been start a few sit a few and repeat so it's been hard for him to focus and keep building his confidence. He looked terrified when he came back during the Swansea game and their crowd really let him have it but it was impressive how that had a bit of a calming effect and he gained more belief in himself as the game went on. Tough to play with our bunch at times too especially on Moreno's side.

The one thing I never get with his passing, is he sometimes absolutely thumps a 10 yard pass into feet, and it's just not necessary, he makes it so hard for the recipient to control. He does it about 10 times a game to Moreno and Coutinho.Just seems a risk to me of giving posession away. Not meaning to criticise in any way, they're often the right passes to make, just struck me as odd

C"Mon now Chris we all know you love the real reds that's why you always come over here for a bit of banter you watch us more than utd closet liverpool fan imo.

Sahko is the best CB we have, IMO. He is a better defender than the rest of our CB`s and only Can can pass th ball out of the back as ell as he can. Skrtel will never be at his level. Why? because Skrtel needs to be babysat i.e needs other players like Can and you guessed it, Sahko to cover his defeciencies in order for him to be effective because when exposed, he is woeful.
{Ed001's Note - and Skrtel has no pace, unlike Sakho.}

I would have played him on the right hand side to mark Fellaini.
24 Mar 2015 05:55:44
Nothing wrong with Sakho on the ball, just takes too long some times when there is no movement in front of him.
24 Mar 2015 13:55:33
Haha, Tommy Tommy Tommy are u STILL upset? I come over for the banter it's a lot easier reeling in people like u on this page than others :)
