Obviously Sakho did some silly things and got himself barred from the 1st team.
Many will argue that he is currently our best CB.
This makes the situation worse as we could be seen to be cutting our nose off to spite our face.
Now we move on to Coutinho. Pretty much threw all the toys out of the pram, said he wouldn't play for LFC again, his relationship with Klopp had deteriorated over the past 6 months and has basically made Klopp and LFC look bad.
Now it looks like he isn't going to be moving and the noises have started to make it appear that all is being back-tracked blah blah blah.
The end result we know is that he will be integrated back into the team.
Surely he has done more harm than Sakho, yet Sakho isn't getting a sniff of a chance.
Did something more serious go on that we aren't being made aware of with Sakho or is Klopp just being stubborn?

Maybe it's because Coutinho can be trusted to eventually get back on with it and apply himself, whereas Sakho can't be trusted.

I really do not believe that Sakho was/ is our best defender.
He did well at Palace but playing in a completely different, very deep lying defence.
I've always thought he was alright but he is not going to be our saviour and turn our defence around.

It will be interesting to see how He gets on with Klopp form here on. The Normal Klopp doesn't compromise on such antics. But then you can't complain if a player wants out to a perticular club.

Yes Sakho is a good player. But you lot who think he's the saviour were also moaning about the defence when he was a regular! I can see why klopp has eyes fixed on Van Dijk he offers the pace to play highline that often exposes our cbks and also very strong in air and attacks the ball.

If we win the tie on Wed night then we will have got through the qualifying round with no help and only disruption from Coutinho. If the unthinkable happens and we get knocked out then his road to forgiveness amongst the fans could become longer.

OP, Sahko is a right bell who takes responsibility for nothing and apologizes for nothing, blaming everyone else for his issues that he himself has caused and this has been the case since his PSG days. Suarez did way worse than both of those combined and yet he still stayed and nearly wo n us the PL so there is already precedent here. Vou will be dealt with in house, no question BUT that is where it needs to end so to not cut of our nose to spite our face. We need him and even Klopp knows it.
If you think Sahko is our best CB then you have not been watching him closely. He is by no means our best CB. Our CB's may not be great BUT to say that Sahko is the best is way off mark. I do understand that it is easy to think a player is better than those playing cos well, he's not playing. You seem to forget that we have had Sahko for three seasons playing here and our defence was still crap, conceding 150 goals in that span but hey, what do I know?

As "many" have now pointed out, he was part of the garbage performances and is not going to change things. Palace were set up to suit and he was trying to get himself a move. There is plenty of evidence that he isn't as good as some keep trying to make out.
