Mamadou Sakho

[danperkins]

Thought he had a good game today after a shaky start

Some really dodgy moments but good second half.

[RichC]

He did. Leicester are a good counter side and have been scoring for fun, still don't think he's 100% fit but had a good game alongside Lovren

[McDermotX]

Shaky again today, but at least grew more into the game. Good thing Lovren was on his game today though, and we got the benefit of a curious peno decision. Needs to do the basics first and foremost, but at least showed the awareness to drop off to allow Lovren to attack the ball every now and then. Don't need two CBs being headstrong at the same time.

[SB]

He's looked really sketchy since coming back from injury. But as others pointed out he's been rushed back due to necessity.

[danperkins]

Has been pretty **** lately, are his knees ****ed? He seemed like he couldn't run & kept falling over.

[Fredo]

He was ok. Obviously he's a bit short of match sharpness.

[danperkins]

He had a bit of a mare along with his partner IMO but he did seem quite laboured in his movement IMO.

[Fredo]

Toure was at fault for the first goal. Sakho was caught out of possession a few times but that's out of his willingness to keep the ball at all costs. We just need to be a bit more clever in possession.

[Gibbo]

Semi fit, will get better after a run of games.

Hopefully him and Matip will solve some of our problems.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

He was bellow par again tonight, I very much a Sakho fan but he's got to regain his form pretty quickly because we're a shambles at times. Lovren coming back could really help the 2 of them had started to form what looked like a decent relationship.

[Rigadon]

Sakho and Toure were dodgy (tonight) but both have recently been injured (and Toure has hardly played this season).

When fit, Sakho has looked a very good player.

[Cormack74]

Brilliantly regained possession a couple of times tonight . . . . . having first been responsible for losing it.

Him and Kolo scared me plenty.

[Shaggy]

Yeah still struggling since the injury. A big problem for us, IMO, is the forced constant changing of CBs. Centre backs play as a pair and we've had no continuity at all this season and it creates uncertainty.

[Daffy Duck]

I think he's great, but his constant injuries and the amount of time he needs to regain his form are a big problem. You just can't count on him, Lovren or Skrtel to be a reliable CB option for the entire season, and it's costing us.

I'd pair one of Lovren/Sakho with Matip for next season and see how that goes, if the situation repeats, I'd consider getting rid, despite the obvious quality.

Skrtel can take the Kolo role, he's competent enough for that at least, and seldom injured.
