| As much as I love the guy, is he allergic to clearing the ball out or something ?

That pass towards right back/wing and into 2 Liverpool players in the first half was something you’d see a sub do who’s not at the required level. But then I remember when he put Wardy under pressure in the final minutes with a pass to him by the post at the wh end just after joining under sam and then matches after his passes from box to Wilf on the wing were top draw. He does need to keep it simple and sensible I agree.

I recall ,before Sakho joined us, having a conversation with someone and commenting that he didn't appear too comfortable in possession and wasn't a ball-playing central defender.

I assume you have since realised that this is bollocks as he is comfortably the best passer at CB at the club? Is prone to the odd error. If he wasn't he'd still be at Liverpool.

| There's at least one big error in every game. He's a great passer who's really improved our ability to retain the ball and use it well, but just seems to have a complete brain freeze or lose control of his legs every once in a while.

| Great player just baffles me why we would try and take the ball down with his chest and play it across the box full of opposition players when he could clearly just header the ball clear.

| Very good 95% of the time, but makes some horrible errors of judgement, and it seems to be happening on a regular basis.

| He makes me nervous, along with Benteke our most expensive players and Monday night our poorest players.

| I think we would be lost without him at the back he's one of the best centre backs we've had in a while without him I think we would concede a lot more goals then we do

| He gave the penalty away and a couple of times passed straight to th opposition. That said his record playing alongside Tompkins is remarkable.
