Sakho

[stringvest]

First name on the teamsheet

[Jay86]

Did he cry when he hurt his ribs? Looked to me like he did.

 

I've been saying from day one how good he is and it really annoyed me how commentators regularly went on about how he was terrible with the ball but he's shown his class lately, i know it's risking as we've been playing well lately but I think it's time to try out a

 

Moreno Sakho Skrtel Johnson/Flanagan/Manquillo

 

Back 4, with Lucas holding as a 4-3-3 because I think that's how well line up in the long term. The confidence Sakho gained the last few months could be the making of that back 4, on a side note anyone know what's going on with Flanno? He's missed almost an entire season over seemingly something trivial at the beginning, it's like he hasn't been mentioned in the media at all for months now.

Dave, can you delete this post please? Someone's brought up the you-know-what with you-know-who.

Real men cry!

 

What's the issue. It's not like we took the piss out of that crybaby Nani isit?...

[TheHowieLama]

I think he took offense to Johnson being mentioned in the defence.

[Mark M]

its bad enough that some of the muppets in the media have decided they don't rate Sakho and keep coming up with the usual criticisms even if they are not true.

 

I find it even more amazing that some our own fans still don't rate him though, he's been immense in our recent run of form and has been involved in helping us keep a lot of clean sheets and also starting attacks with his fast paced passing.

If he comes out of our team at the moment we'll struggle without him.

it's not that.  you're just not supposed to mention what's happened to...

 

I've already said too much.  I must go.

The backheel!

The backheel!

 

that backheel is a great example - not of his skill, anyone call pull them off - but of his awareness.  He has fantastic awareness of who is around him, and you can see it time and time again when he pings first time passes off.  He's the provider of most of our balls out of defence, because despite the odd brain fart, he's the best at it.

Brilliant photo, brings back the joy.

[JermainePennant]

He is fucking brilliant. He must have loved that chant too!

He's felt the love now and I would think his confidence is sky high, he was saying we are the best fans and cbs don't normally get that kind of support at other clubs.

 

I expect to see him get even better now and he will be giving all he's got with the support he's been getting.

[Faustus]

That expression on that lad's face is fantastic.

 

I'm not one to go into this 'footballers are role models' crap that gets banded about because I think it's piss poor if you're looking for life lessons from someone who's defining quality is that they have incredible foot- eye co-ordination, but it's always great to see someone in a position of influence so willing to use their free time to give something back to the community. I'm not saying I expect footballers to be like Mother Theresa, but an acknowledgement of the support they receive and the privileged position they're in is always nice, and it's why pictures like the one above are fantastic. You just know that young lad will never forget that moment.

 

Quick story about Sakho regarding the All Saints Primary reference at the bottom of that Echo piece: a mate of mine is a primary school teacher and at some conference thing or whatever, he got talking to a teacher from that school and he said Sakho just walked in after training one day and asked to speak to the head teacher about doing some coaching tied in with French lessons with the school. Even though it is done with the LFC Foundation, he went in on his own accord and set up the link that was eventually rubberstamped by the club.

 

Seems like a top bloke.

That's just brilliant. When I watched the video clip I started shouting Sakho myself!

He's a cult hero.

[Ginny]

Sakho killer!

[cloggypop]

Qu'est-ce que c'est?

[stringvest]

Anyone else terrified that the rumours of him getting binned when Lovren was fit might actually have a grain of reality attached to them? 

 

Thought not.  Shine on you crazy cubic zirconia.

[Paulie Dangerously]

I find it hard not to like him but still panic when he has the ball and an opposition player is within 20 feet of him.

[The Woolster]

Fucking love Sakho, he's a superb player and seems like a top bloke.

[The Woolster]

As someone who is a massive fan of Sakho, and someone who is also a fan of Lucas (although I wouldn't say massive), one of things I like about the both of them is their passing. For their position and compared to many of their peers, they both like to make progressive passes, passes that are forwards, passes that break the lines, passes to a player who wants the ball even if they are under pressure, because that creates space behind, rather than the simple sideways pass to a man who is free.

 

So I have been amused over the last few pages or so to see those who could be classed as 'pro Lucas' criticise Sakho's progressive passing and those who could be classed as 'against Lucas' praise Sakho's progressive passing...

Waiting for him to score his first goal in front of the Kop - the chant will wake up the dead.

I think both are very good players, and the two main reasons for us not looking utterly appalling defensively in every game.
