Mamadou Sakho

[~LFCHistory~]

have to agree with this. he looks very wobbly, and anyone pressing him just steps up to him knowing he cannot play the ball to any standard with his right foot. shocking. even worse than enrique for being one footed

i have said before about the possibility of us playing a back three and it didnt seem popular with the animals
i also mentioned that agger would make a decent job of the DM position. maybe kolo too.

I though he used his right foot a little bit more than he had previously for us tbh and looked quite good with it. He's rough around the edges for sure but I thought we saw glimpses of a very good player, started the game poorly but gradually calmed down and got better as it went on.

he might fit in but he does have the control of djimi traore.

he might settle. This needs some approximate reasoning for real-time probabilistic processes although it must be said that Our recent recruitment has raised the DNA profile of the business.

He looks class. Love how he's always pressing opponents straight away and is willing to go for risky passes instead of just leathering it upfield. Will be perfect for us.

Yep, there's a quality player in there I reckon. I'm firmly in the Sakho fan club

[badpiggy]

I think he'll be great. He was seriously anxious in the first match and has improved loads since. Big clearances, big intercepts and headers and looks composed and willing to play a bit. Skillful too. The mistakes and misplaced passes will disappear when his teammates get to know his style and vice versa.

[Darkon]

As I said before we bought him, I would be really happy if we did. He will be a monster for us, have everything needed and just needs to adapt to the system and league.

Seriously good player we have gotten here - used to be very impressed with him for PSG, and I'm certain I will be just as impressed once he settles.

Wow opinion seems split down the middle. Coming from the never seen him play before camp, the first impression when he played against Swansea was traore, he has the same gangling movement as he did.

Against the swans He was rash. But he won headers and liked to pass the ball. I haven't seen much since but I think and hope I'm wrong but he looks like the sort that will make a monumental cock up every now and then. He's very risky with his play. I can see him getting caught dallying on the ball or under hitting a sloppy backpass. I'll bow to those who think he's the real deal and hope they're right. Be the man.

am hoping that change of league, lack of match fitness & sharpness & him just generally settling in will improve him but yup he does put the ****s up me everytime he gets the ball on the deck.

I think he's a beast myself, but I can see the early Traore comparisons -- he has a similar spindly gait and a predisposition for a sliding tackle. The big difference in the latter is that Traore was rash in his challenges while Sahko is actually confident he'll win them by making an preemptive, proactive tackle.

[Tee]

Only comparison with Djimi is physical, and even in that department Sakho is more beastly.

The guy is class and has been thrown in at the deep end but still done well IMO.

Will get better as well.

Yep. He's streets ahead, not only in the physical but in the mental side of the game. The youngest PSG captain and all.

I completely agree that this might be the actual truth. He has a strange ponderous legginess on the ball but I think it's lessened over the course of the few games he's played. I'm just making an effort to be more positive after the bizarre excoriation of the team that was going on the match thread last night. All the united fans I spoke to today thought we looked good, that Suarez was only going to get sharper and that the result only papered over the moyesian cracks that are appearing all over the theatre of ******* poxy ****in dreams.
