Klopp on Mr Sahko (sako, Sahko or the mad fella) “I’m happy that I don’t talk in situations like this,” said Klopp. Everybody who needs to be informed about this has been informed about this. “There are no secrets with the important people, I would say.” ..................... So bascially its all true and he's ****ed it.
With Sakho I've always been on the fence with him. He's a very good passer of the ball and at times a good defender but never anything special imo. I did think he could develop into a very good player but I'm still waiting. He also makes mistakes now and then but who doesn't? It just seems that he makes avoidable mistakes, silly ones where he causes the error. I think it's clear that Klopp doesn't think much of him, I'm also very happy with Klavan who seems a very good buy. I would go as far as to say our best 2 would be Matip and Klavan at the moment but lets give Lovren his due he has improved. Matip and Klaven give us a good combo though Matip is calm and compose, just what we needed Klavan is more in the Carra mold but he can use the ball. Those 2 could be our best combo and I wouldn't be surprised if that's what we end up with. Lovren and Gomez as cover is that enough?
I am surprised that many people are going against Sakho at the moment, he used to be their golden boy in the centre of defence. I am sure it has something to do with the drug matter. I wish Sakho the best of luck wherever he goes.
You might be right. I was not impressed with lovern at LCB last night. Matip and klavan at least makes a balanced partnership.
Liverpool have registered an interest in Real Madrid outcast James Rodriguez, according to reports. Rodriguez, who joined Madrid from Monaco for £63million two years ago, is no longer wanted at Madrid by manager Zinedine Zidane. And Mundo Deportivo say Liverpool have enquired about his price ahead of a possible bid before the end of the transfer window. However, it is claimed Madrid want £51million for the player and the European champions don’t believe Liverpool are capable of meeting their asking price. Arsenal and Chelsea have also been linked with the 25-year-old Colombian, as have AC Milan and PSG.
I think its vvery important to just do the bascis. a very right footed player at LCB like lovern seems to be in trouble if a tackle is needed, can't pass it very well to the LB or even the long diagonal klopp favours. If you look back at the burton game you will see the klopp clear tactic for full backs. Lovern got it on one occasion and the guys on the right wing (clyne) was literally sprinting forward and was in a RW slot for that long diagonal. This harks back to that blame game for moreno who did the same thing rightly but got blamed for a goal cos lallana lost it. I would say having a tactic to sprint 30/40 yards for a diagonal ball lovern just cannot play off his left foot seems a bit silly.
We can spend that amount on a very good Mid field General.Forget James Rodriguez. What are they smoking?.
James Rodriguez - '****'??? The lad is fantastic imo and it looks like he's on the move. Chelsea I reckon.
I don't think he's fantastic personally but the price real paid probably put a he's not worth it thing in my head thats not easy to shake. he was good in a world cup. then they paid 70 odd million for him or something and he's just a good player but not amazing. conversely i really rate rakatic at barca and think thye got a bargain price for him.... probably both men equally talented.
I was being a bit harsh, he's just not lived up to his potential at RM and I'd be concerned that he's simply not going to be worth the transfer fee.
Chelsea would like to buy any player that's available. They cannot please all of them. At the end of the day it's eleven vs eleven.
I think if its a straight choice between say james and oscar then I think oscar has dropped his levels right off. there is room IMO in cheslea's squad for a no 10. Pedro, hazard, willian.... then theres the lesser lights. Pedro hasn't been great either TBH.
