Mamadou Sakho

[DannyMan2006]

I think Skrtel's problem is largely about communication. I don't think anyone else takes the role either so we end up with a very individualistic defense, which isn't how the best units are formed.

Seems a much more obvious candidate for vice captain than Milner.

I don't understand the Milner captain thing. Should have been Lucas I reckon, but that was as much a symptom of Brendan's distrust as anything else.

As long as Lucas is available and part of the plans, he's the obvious choice above all others. But I agree about Milner.......not the kind of guy to inspire or lead.

yup wanted Lucas myself at the time. Big Bad Brendan thought otherwise. Milner is not a leader, he's a reliable workhorse.

[Daniel 7]

Fierce summed it up with Milner earlier on - put him in a team full of excellent players and he can raise his game. He's not the one to get others to raise theirs though. Seems like he's a chameleon to form

Klopps opinion on Milner

"James Milner? The complete football player. The perfect professional. A machine."

Is he wrong and you geniuses are right? I know which camp I'm in.

So good you posted it twice

The mods are slacking lately, loads of Skrtel talk in here and now Milner so I thought I'd post it in the relevant thread as well as this rogue discussion

He's bloody excellent. To think Brendan couldn't even find room for him on the bench at the start of the season.

should be our 1st choice defender for the next 7 years or so.

I really like Sakho. I really do.

Classic perception of Sakho..."Sakho took a bit of a chance and got away with it".

No he didn't "get away with it". It's excellent, bold play. The pass from Sakho is very good - he does brilliantly to spot it, for starters.

As you say it was a top top pass. What the numpteys dont realise is Lucas makes himself available as an outlet in these tight situations game in game out. In fact twice in as many seconds in the case
