You really think it would be backing down? His punishment has been pretty harsh, I'm expecting Klopp to kill his children as a final warning.
True. Really want to see more of TAA. But I don't want to throw him at the deep end right away. Clyne needs some real competition imo
This is why fm2017 should not be used to pick players. Did you know taa scored 5 goals in recent england u19 games. If taa stood for Tomas auro-aurnotovic jimmy would be calling him world class and worth 50mil as one of europes elite young talents. Reality check here. Taa might already be more ready to play prem than anyone realises
He's Mr solid, dependable, consistent, and quite simply he doesn't do enough and needs to realise that if we are to progress then mediocre isn't good enough.
I agree. mentally he needs to be more ruthless. There is ample evidence im my mind that he can deliver a kill ball, make a quick pass, play forward, run at people.. but he doesn't half of the time. Lets look at milner on the other side. pre Christmas he played better, more positive, with more belief IMO. however he has also been left isolated in 20/30 yards with no red shirt to pass to. Its a similar thing. clyne when the team was not doing well wasn't the guy to drive us on. he turned back and played safe. However to be over critical of this is slightly unfair as to my mind far too few players can actually lead when times are tough. Inspirational players are very rare. You are right. Him back passing and turning back to his own Cb partner rather than forcing go forward attitude isn't good enough but then i klopp up on his feet screaming at mane or fiminro to pull right i nthe channel and offer that pass option? Is matip screaming at him to be more positive and not just give it right back to him? no. the whole squad and manager need to demand more of themselves collectively and individually. finally. I would say 16/17 of the 20 prem clubs would love to have him as he's better than what they have. REALITY. Bellarin and walker IMO are about the only guys better than him today, maybe coleman too.
I'd like Sakho back and he can bring Van Dijk with him not swap with him .... although I've no objection to that either
Depends what comps we will be playing in next season. Have one pairing for league and possibly cl, other for cup games and rotate in league as well. As long as they are paid enough and look like we might win something players are usually content nowdays as their main priorities seem to be financial.
Seems unlikely to me. He's a good player, but not so good that it outweighs his bad attitude. Hazard is a great player, but he's a self-centred mardy get who plays when it suits him so no thanks to that as well. Talent is obviously crucial, but so is attitude.
Why on earth do people want sakho? Have people forgotten his antics? I agree with saint. If we coudl get 20mil for mil and buy van dijk it'd be good business.
Sakho's antics were off field and shouldn't really concern us at all. Can't think of anything he did wrong while playing, plus the fans took to him straight away, that sort of relationship may make players think twice if they're being lured away.
the question i have is do we want klopp or do we want sakho. cos klopp's made his opinion very clear on this.
