Mamadou Sakho

[Fosterbloke]

I did, I don't give a crap about international football. Looked good albeit against **** opposition.

[Kinell]

He puzzles me a bit. Great physically, keeps his passing pretty simple, a bit mechanical, but when he's under pressure and it looks like he's gonna get caught out he casually picks out a pass. Could be the baby giraffe complex Harv was talking about.

No thanks Mostar, not watching that one

Nice vid Mo.

Don't want to stereotype Sakho as a beast of a defender, but he really has so much more to his game than just his physical presence. He always looks to play the ball on the floor and find his team mates in forward positions rather than passing across the back line. Love him already and once he is fully settled into the PL I predict he will be pushing as the best CB in the league.

I would be tempted to play him at DM now and again, he could be the big, physical presence we sometimes need in there. We certainly have enough centre backs at the moment so it may work

[RedReet]

He reminds me of a left footed Sol Campbell, although better on the ball.

Sahko looks like a good addition to the squad, at times though he seems to have little brain explosions or takes a wee bit too long on the ball, will need to get rid of those if he is to become top class.

I don't think many other centre backs that played over the weekend had it as easy as the french ones against the aussies, was a complete stroll in the park.

A good start to his LFC career all things considered!

I disagree about his heading ability. Whilst he wins the majority of headers, he doesn't clear the ball properly. It's almost like he has a 50p head

[RichC]

His heading has been excellent, you can't always send a ball 30 yards up the pitch

I mentioned that after his first game. All his headers went back to the opposition and immediately put us back under pressure. He's quelled it a bit since though

In his first game, his headed clearences were so bad but it was his first game in a while so all can be forgiven. But they haven't improved significantly enough yet which is a concern. If Skrtel was doing the same, he'd be getting destroyed by the fans.

[Norbs]

In that first game we faced a lot of high balls, in the games since we haven't as much

Did we? We played Swansea. I'm sure we would have faced more high balls against the teams we have played since

[Norbs]

We seemed to because even I noticed how many times he did a Sea Lion impression

I made the same point earlier.

His timing is off as he jumps way too early.

Even in that comp there were 2 instances that demonstrate that.

He has physical predispositions to be a beast in the air but his header technique imo requires improvement.
