Mamadou Sakho

[Gibbo]

Aye I rate Sahko quite highly. He's a good player.

My old man hates him because of this whole clumsy persona, won't even entertain stats of any kind. "My own two eyes can see he's ****e"

Started again tonight for France (and done 90mins) for their trashing of Jamaica.

[Liverpool]

First choice CB for France it seems.

Stumbled upon this, nothing earth shattering but he seems a well rounded bloke and pretty determined

Very good tonight I thought, lads a good player.

[Chazza]

You would say that you dubious Frenchman.

[Chris]

He was excellent. And for any Arsenal fans wondering why he starts over Koscielny, well you got your answer there.

[BigChief]

Amazing reading of the game. He's not as tall as I thought he was and certainly gets done for headers because of dodgy heading technique. But for sheer reading of the game (which is 95% of defending) he's so under rated. Much better than Kosc and Varane.

Would be tempted to see what Emre Can might be like next to him next season. Maybe Brendan will try it out in pre-season.

[jono]

France only conceded when he went off.

[McDermotX]

Solid game from him, even if he wasn't up against any real quality. Leads well from the back.
Hopefully the injury is nothing too concerning.

Can will play in midfield.

Who's Will?

Who's Will?

It wasn't a question.

[Big-Red-Ed]

Watching Sakho now. We have got to build our defence around this young lad. Still raw at times but reads the game well and his passing is excellent.

[McDermotX]

Very raw.....could have been sent off early in the game.

[knockers]

Did you see that 'clearance' on the touch line where he looked like he was gonna hoof it down the line, but instead did a lovely little pass with the inside of his heel? Very classy defending.
