Ally Cissokho isn't good enough to be considered average

Sorry but you are wrong. He's starting to look decent lately. Offers us great balance.

[Fredo]

He started to prove people wrong. Eggs on faces etc ...

[Kenneth]

He hasn't stood out as being bad in a couple of games. That's an improvement but it's a bit premature to be taking about him proving doubter wrong.

Well it's as much of a premature statement to say that he's ****. Even more when you can see him improving gradually. Starting from a position that he was 'awful' or '****', he's started to show what he can do.

That's a for point.

I still think he's **** though

Liverpool defender Aly Cissokho insists he is not bothered by his critics during loan spell at Anfield
Feb 18, 2014 13:19 By David Anderson

Aly Cissokho claims he is ignoring his critics at Liverpool, adding he will be proud of his season at Anfield if he has to leave in the summer.

The French left-back has come under fire for his performances since joining Liverpool on loan from Valencia in the summer to challenge Jose Enrique.

Cissokho claims he found it hard to adapt to English football because he needed surgery on his ankle after being injured on his debut.

He says he has always given his all for the Reds and is not bothered by the barbs from the snipers in the stands.

He told L'Equipe: "In my first match against Notts County, after five minutes, my ankle turned. It was a big ankle sprain.

"The most important injury in my whole career so far and at the worst moment. A piece of cartilage moved. I had to undergo surgery in London.

"It was a very difficult moment. I was afraid. Surgery delayed my adaptation.

"Critics? I am used to not winning unanimous support. I let people have their own opinion and I give my best."

Cissokho said he would like to stay at Liverpool, but understands he may not be given that option.

He told Canal+: "Valencia is also a great club, but there are a lot of economic problems in Spain.

"I have given my very best for Liverpool and we will see at the end of the season what both clubs will decide.

"If I have to leave Liverpool, I will leave. I am doing a nice job and that is the most important thing."

Fair play - my heart sank at the headline thinking this was going to be a "I've proved everyone wrong" kind of article, but I think that's a pretty honest statement. He didn't half struggle early on, and to be fair the ankle injury won't have helped with that, but he looks fairly adequate these days. He still doesn't look like the long-term answer by any stretch, but he rarely gets beat one on one, and has shown improved positional sense in the last few games.

Maybe that's because his performances have gone from being **** to not outstandlingly bad. Discredit where discredit's due and vice versa

[BigChief]

With the mention of Valencia's financial troubles it does seem like he's desperate to be paid somewhere, anywhere. If we decided to pay him sub 40k a week as a third choice left back (behind Enrique and Flanno) he might decide to stay. He'll get some games if Flanno has to cover the right sometimes and the number of games we'll face next season.

Id be hoping we bring in a left back ahead of using Flanno or Enrique there. Enrique seems to be suffering regular with injuries. He had a few knocks before this long term one

If Enrique is not first choice might be better to replace him with another first choice LB. No point keeping him as second choice (how long's he got left and what money is he on? Probably not great moneyball figures)

[marcus50bucks]

Disappointed he was dropped today. He offers very little going forward but he is defensively sound.

[meffin]

No real surprise, but looks like it's been agreed that he wont be staying on after the loan.
