Do you know if Sakho is fit yet?
Hoping a Sakho - Toure partnership will save us from the nightmare inducing partnership of Lovren - Skrtel.
Seen pictures posted of him being back in training like. Doubt he's match-fit/that he'd br trusted by Brendan to be thrown in. Much as I'd love it.
There's just some things I'll never get about Brendan, for all I rate him. Last season when we were in a title run-in he shoehorned Sakho into the side alongside Skrtel and sat out Agger (who had the highest clean-sheet ratio out of any defender in the side). Fine. Thought maybe this was something that was a signifier that he was looking to the future - that he wanted to solidify the partnership. Sells Agger. Fine. Brings in Lovren. Fine.
Starts Lovren and Skrtel? Why? Just why? Lovren and Sakho together haven't been given a proper chance. And I know Lovren has been woeful, and that he gets a rough time around these parts (and I'm a sensitive soul and the bantz can get to me sometimes, haha) but I think there's a fucking common denominator and it's the guy who has been responsible for the most mistakes leading to goals in the previous two years.
Genuinely believe Skrtel makes the defenders alongside him look even worse than they are. But he's undroppable somehow.
