Sakho is a very good defender.. He looks awkward and yes, can make a frickup every now and then... but he is very good..

Sakho looked great in that pressing attack and high line at the end of last season... He was in such good form before it all went tits up..

I think his biggest issue was his ability to stay healthy... played 10, out 5.. play 7, out 3..

He wasn't perfect and could be improved upon, but there aren't many in our squad that can't be...

Yes Sakho and Lovren likely shouldn't be starting CBs for us. But on one night, they were the best CBs in the world. Greatest game I can remember seeing live (well, maybe second behind USA v. Algeria)

+1 I don't think anyone's opinion here has changed on him since he last played for us - no concoctions, etc. He also didn't get near enough credit for his balls on the ground through the defensive lines to an offensive players feet, which enabled for quick moves and control on the attack. He actually would be a good Klopp center back, but that ship has sailed.

I think one thing we've really missed from him - he made our LB MUCH better. Moreno was lost without him - and look how bad he played down the stretch two seasons ago.
