I feel we have enough good defenders to not need to buy any in the coming window, we do need a goalie and a defensive coach like yesterday. Apart from that an actual CDM and an CF for the summer.
Even Lovren has improved.
teams shouldn't change too much every year and we are guilty of that.

We don't have any top quality defenders! In my opinion skirtel is are best and even he divides opinion. I'd keep clyne because he's pretty steady and will get better . But the rest! . Moreno has terrible lacks of concentration and rashness . Sahko and toure are awful with the ball at there feet and look like there treading water when running. Lovren was showing improved form before injury but hasn't been a 20million defender. The one thing I would say you couldn't knock them for effort because they all give 100 percent but if we want to be top 4 contenders and even title contenders . Goalkeeper and defenders are what we are in urgent need of .

I have enough faith in Klopp to know where he stands regarding the Defenders we have. Lovren when fit has been our most consistent back 4 player since Klopp arrived. I honestly believe our failure at set pieces is down to our goalkeeper. A keeper should dominate the play, our keeper doesn't.

Red j spoken like a fab who only watches the game on tv and believes the media. Sakho is very good with the ball at his feet and his passing is improving every game only problem is he has rushed back from injury and isn't playing at his full ability. The fact that he is one of the few players that other teams are interested in should highlight how highly he is thought of.
Moreno is lacks concentration but offers an outlet that we lack on the right as Clyne isn't setting the world alight. Flanno being back will secure that side. I feel Smith will be challenging Moreno since both are poor in the air, go forward but Smith has slightly better ability in regards to defending the cross.
Kolo is a stop gap at the moment and strange to say I'm excited for Lovren to come back as he looked like he was finally finding form.

Red j has been following Liverpool for 25 years home and away and to so many countries . Most away games even pre season games in far away countries . Had my season ticket for 20years so to say I watch it in the telly u couldn't be further from the truth . And if u think sahko is comfortable with the ball at is feet i'd say u must listen to the match on the radio!

What do fans think about sahko with the ball at his feet? JK67 thinks he's very good an I think he's bad . I would be interested to hear what fans think . We no football is about opinions and we could sit and debate all day about who is good . who is bad, who we sign, who we sell, and no 2 people would have the same thoughts ino . But sahko bein very good with the ball his feet has made me think are us so far apart on opinion . I would welcome some reply son the matter .

He is good with the ball at his feet and it is a myth and pointless moaner speculation that he isnt. You couldn't go back through every game he has played for us and even find 3 incidents where he has cost us a goal through his ability in the ball. Its a joke.

I think Sakho is acutually deceptive in that he looks like bamby on ice but how many times has he cost a goal by giving it away. I can't think of one this season. I think he is certainly awkward but so was Peter Crouch. But as far as passing and getting the ball out of defence he isn't actually that bad. I would sat awkward but effective.

Thanks for the reply mate . Maybe it's just me then hahahahahaha . Mite be turning into a old morning fan .

He has long legs and that makes him appear to be clumsy but he is actually very skillful on the ball.
25 Jan 2016 13:23:26
Sorry Red j I didn't mean to cast aspertions on you its just something I am infuriated with at the games. I hear too many occasional fans at the match spout the same line I've heard a hundred times in the media that Sakho is bad with the ball. His size makes him ungainly and he passes with an absolute textbook side foot which looks ridiculous compared to others but is comfortable and accurate.
There was a recent night game may have been Arsenal where he hit one over the top toward the corner flag opposite the scoreboard that was reminiscent of Carragher in the latter stages of his career. If he can remain injury free he will be a very effective defender. However I think he has a problem with Kolo at the moment as he defers to the older man instead of being confident and taking control and that resulted in goals for Norwich.

Sakho, like most of our players on here, gets way overrated. Not trying to sound harsh, it's just the reality.
He needs to do the BASICS well first of all. His problem is he tries to be over elaborate when row-z was the better option.
Unfortunately, there's a mistake waiting to happen with him every game. Not because he's a bad player, it's because his decision making needs to be worked on. It's knowing when and what decision to make at any given moment.
I can only compare him with Agger, if only for the left foot and the ability to pass out from the back. The difference with Agger was, he knew when to take the extra touch, when to drive with the ball or when to do the simple thing. At the moment, Sakho does the difficult 9 times out of 10. He also needs to work on his heading technique.
Other than that, he's a good player. LOL. No, he is a good player but far from the colossus some people make him out to be.

Not a problem JK. I fume myself on the way home from away matches sometimes when a fan is on the phone in talkin pure crap bout how bad someone was ranting how something doesn't work and when they get asked have u been the match they say no couldn't get time of work or somethin along them lines . Ino a lot of people can't go the match wether it bein the cost ( understandable ) or bein in work or other reasons . And ino a lot of people who don't go talk a lot of sense aswell . As I said it's about opinions . Some you agree with and some you don't . Might be me who is seeing things wrong in certain areas hahahahahaha . We, ll agree to disagree on sahko .

He's probably the best defender we have with the ball at his feet but still makes me nervous everytime.
