sakho is an excellent defender, but he does the job with the elegance of an elephant using an ipad

But he isn't, he can head the ball and put in a decent tackle but goes to pieces with the ball at his feet if someone gets into him. It was evident against a few teams last year (most notably Everton) and was seen again last weekend, for a team that want to play the ball around and out from the back it is not a good way to be.
 
I was over the moon when we signed a player who captained PSG at 20 years old and was France's first choice centreback.

Then I saw Sakho play, and my eyebrow ended up on top of my head. How could a player who looked this awkward on the ball have shot to those heights at such a young age?

Well it's because he does the job, including passing, exceptionally well. I still don't like that it's not pretty to watch at times, but it's as effective as effective gets. That's why his former club and country gave him those roles and he cost a fair bit of cash to buy.

He's basically an ugly 7 seater MPV with 700 horsepower that does 0-60 in 4 seconds.

The slip was the defining moment in the title race. It was especially hilarious due to who was the perpetrator and what he'd said in the huddle post the victory against City that he felt was the title deciding moment

It was the most epic of epic fails.

Sorry, forgot the passing bit. He can play a very good pass (and usually forward) when given time.

can't see what difference that would have made. If Gerrard hadn't miscontrolled a pass he'd successfully taken thousands of times followed by him slipping, the tactics may well have worked. The tactics didn't cause him to slip either. He was helping out in defence in our own half FFS. Sometimes bad luck just happens.

That mistake and slip cost us the title. The league challenge ended right there. Chelsea parked one of the greatest buses seem by mankind in the second half and there was no answer from us.

Titles aren't lost by one moment in a season. If we'd won a game we drew earlier in the year or drew a game we lost etc...

Are you honestly trying to say that Rodgers asked Stevie to abandon his DM role in both matches and play on the opponents 18 yard line?

What in all the 3 years of BRs tenure has made you think he likes his DM playing as a forward?

Stevie was the last man on the halfway line. You think the WHOLE TEAM took it upon themselves to attack that high up?
