I honestly don't know why we are making a fuss about the celebrations. When I saw them for the first time, I thought he was quite restrained because he wanted to respect the club he had left. He just walked about and stared into space like a statue. Then I read in the papers that his actions were actually celebrations and he wanted to portray a statue because he was sold for being not mobile enough. FFS. I hate it when players think they ought to be restrained when they score against a previous team. They ought to celebrate goals in the normal fashion. Anyone remember Ince when he scored against the mancs?
Couldn't give a **** about Sakho "celebrating" with Benteskey. 1) it wasn't a "celebration" 2) if it was it was ****ville city 3) he's not currently playing for us 4) he won't be playing for us in the future 5) the clubs shown no loyalty to him so why vice versa? 6) he's already shown he's an idiot 7) he's French 8 ) I just don't care
Is anyone "making a fuss"? Looks to me like something gets mentioned and people comment on it, that's all.
Let him celebrate. At the end of the day he was never worth the £35 mill we bought him for and the £32.5 mill we sold him for. Had he been, Palace would have been title winners by now.
Sakho broke some socially acceptable rules and Klopp has loaned him off. He may be sore about it, we may think Klopp made a mistake, but when Suarez started biting people the majority wanted him out of the club. Sakho's offences seem small potatoes in comparison, but he still ****ed up and deserved a kicking. A loan is not a sale. Sakho wants to come back, but the celebration yesterday turned most fans against him on Twitter. Was the celebration a message to Klopp? Perhaps. Will Klopp bend over backwards? Probably not. Sakho has to earn his trust and the fans'. Bottom line: you can't be a hero and a dick at the same time.
Benteke in particular Sakho celebrating is hurtful to Liverpool fans. I have seen players scoring against their old clubs behaving in an acceptable manner. An example was when Milner scored the penalty against city he never mad a meal of it, because he knew that his actions can be subject to interpretation wrongly or rightly.
Sakho explained - he didn't celebrate that goal. Benteke was the one who went over to Sakho for their hand shake. Unnecessarily reading into this. Nice deflection away from the **** on the pitch
Who's doing the deflecting lol? Certainly not the local media...They've savaged the performance. Club aren't talking about it or other players? Pretty sure the guys on here that didn't like it also did a good bit of slagging about the tea m...not for the first time either.. He's just a twat...with form for acting like a child. Is he innocent with this? Probably but it's brainless...like a lot of his decision making since we bought him.
But talking about deflection we as fans have a bad habit of it when it's convenient. I'll stick with Sakho as an example: Walks out of the Derby: excuse: oh he was just upset. Takes a substance without consulting team doctors:excuse oh it was a screw up by UEFA, oh it turned out it wasn't a banned substance..Since UEFA and WADA weren't sure if it was banned for almost a year how the hell did he know it was ok? Turns up late for flight: oh that's not a big deal. Misses team meeting: oh that's not a big deal. Late to training: oh that's not a big deal Acts the plank with the boss at official function..oh he was just misunderstood. He makes sulky social media posts: oh it's cause the club treated him harshly. Maybe all these excuses are valid for each inccident but add all the inccidents up and.... But its easier to excuse him and blame Klopp just because our defence is **** and he had a couple of good games for Palace. Mweh....
Personally, I don't see the big issue. He didn't celebrate the goal and showed respect. Then his friend, who scored the goal came up to him to share a 'hand shake'. Don't think there's anything to it. And I don't think anyone would give a **** had we won.
I didn't care about it either because I don't consider him to be our player anymore. He only gets to be that if Klopp brings him back..I genuinely don't think this inccident will colour Klopp's judgement one way or the other tbh. Either what he does at Palace will convince Klopp he's knuckled down and grown up or he already wrote him off for all the other ****e. Guaranteeing when Klopp is asked about this at next press conference he'll dismiss it as unimportant because it is to him..
I'm not really sure what you mean by this. I don't think anything has saved the team and its performance from the usual forensic post-mortem after a defeat. But "usual" is the operative word here - we lose too many, and the criticism is always the same, because the faults are always the same. There are only so many ways we can say the same things, and so when something new comes up, it gives us something different to focus on. No-one on here is up in arms about Sakho's handshake as far as I can see, but its novelty value distracts us - not from the teams performance, but from our own tired and frustrated reactions to the same old issues.
