Winning 8/9 & 2/3 draws could be enough though, all depends how the others dare with an increasing workload.

Yes, but I prefer my own eyes rather than stats, and I never feel confident he knows what he's doing. Our defenders 'complete' loads of nothing one-two passes in front of their own area but when it comes to more adventurous passes he's not reliable at all. If Kolo has gone from being an inspired signing into a massive joke after two bad matches then Sakho merits much more critical attention, because he's a very rough diamond at present.
Could you bump that thread? Was looking to get it bumped recently to compare my predictions against the reality.
I'm not sure I remembered to predict. I hope I did.
Read on here that some (all?) threads auto lock after 2 weeks if nothing gets written in them, the Top7 mini league thread did, might have to ask a mod to open it, i'll have a look for it and see.
They are locked, look at pages 7 and 8, everything is locked.
You are off the mark on this one, yes Sakho is a little rough round the edges but not with his passing bar that one period in the City game where he lost his head, his range of passing is very good, hes more than capable of playing longer passes into midfield, he was doing it often, in all the earlier threads about him people were raving about his distribution and quality when in possession, it really was there for all to see.
He gets a FAR easier ride than other defenders. That's just a fact. Other defenders would be pilloried for what he's judged to be 'a little rough around the edges'. Indulge him as a cult figure all you like, but don't tell me what my eyes can see. He's got loads to improve.
I'm eternally optimistic about players I like so take the following with a massive dose of salt
I thought sakho was composed and very efficient with his passing.
I think his appearance of being slightly ungainly in his running/passing/technique etc, gives the impression that he's never fully in control of the ball, but whilst having the ball under lock and key. He's surprisingly effective with the ball and rarely fucks up.
I felt the same about toure, but it appears the West Brom game has shattered his confidence
Dunno, when he came on against Swansea he perpetually looked unsure of what to do with the ball. Either that's a shaken confidence or very concerning.
I'm hoping it's the former as it's easier to rebuild confidence, as Rodgers seems to be able to do that
This.! He looks like Bambi on ice, his boots appear to be too big for him and he looks like he's going to fuck up at any moment but has rarely done so as far as I can remember. Very aggressive in the tackle and doesn't get knocked off the ball as easily as say Agger does, so far he looks our most reliable defender for me, the rest look like Fred Karnos' army!
Scary as fuck?
How can we trust anyone who's gut is NOT substantial !
No all swirly and tufty and bald ! I was referring to his dandy haircut
This
You are correct, he did.
Macca is wrong and is now acting very childish because someone dare tells him.
He was off the boil last game so I can understand some decisions to drop him. Add to that Allen having a good game.
Retention is the most important part against saints.
