    Got a bad feeling City are going to rinse us down the left flank with Navas. We looked alright centrally in the last match, not as strong as we could be but better, somewhat composed. Even if we are again it could all be undermined.

    50/50 for me if i am honest.

    i don't see any reason for us to be any more scared of city than they do of us, sure ppf will back that up, both teams have the players to destroy any one on their day, trouble is both have issues at the back and will both teams strikers take their chances? what about the keepers, one of those days,hart has had a few, admittedly not for a while and he has found his for again, just hope it starts again and he fecks up.

    ****ting myself (probably more to do with what the game means), but its one of them where we know what we have to do and for once we are fighting for something ie the title , i know we can ****ing do this <ok>

    Navas may not bomb forward as much if the likes of Sterling push him back...
    When we played them, the more Sterling got into the game the less effect Navas had..
    Need young Raheem to be his game on Sunday!

    I couldn't disagree more to be honest. When he was playing regularly his stats with regards to passing and tackling were way above our other defenders. His quick passing to feet is immense and the way he strolls out from the back with ease and then charges back when needed is quality. His tackling is spot on, some of his last ditch sliding tackles in our penalty area couldn't have been any better. I think he's absolute quality.


    For me he's our best defender. He was unfortunate to pick up an injury, but Sakho IS the future of the Liverpool defence.

    Sorry but his passing is very good. He looks a bit awkward when the ball is at his feet, but he more often than not finds a team mate when he passes and usually they are forward into the midfield as well. He's awesome in the air.

    He tries to win the ball early from the forwards rather than giving them time which I quite like. My biggest annoyance of Skrtel is his insistence to back off to the edge of the area and we conceded bout 3 or 4 goals in a matter of weeks due to him doing that earlier in the season. Occasionally Sakho will get it wrong and give away fouls or get beaten but with experience he'll know when to try and win it and when to let the player have it. When he wins it early though it certainly works for u as allows us to counter quickly.

    Agree with this. Agger was even skinned by Soldado of all people!
    Sakhos passing is very consistent, rarely gives the ball away .

    Sakho is a beast. The fact that he broke a weights machine during his medical with us and they call him the baby Thuram in France is proof that the man is a monster. I think he has the potential to be one of the worlds best defenders.
