Liverpool transfer rumours
1) Mamadou Sakho is completely crucial to our side…
The French powerhouse missed the match due to a slight problem with his hip, and although we managed to keep yet another clean-sheet, Sakho’s absence was noticeable. The 24-year-old usually starts on the left of the back-three, a position he is absolutely perfect for. Emre Can filled in, and with Lazar Markovic playing at left wing-back, Southampton carved out plenty of chances down their right-hand side. Plenty, plenty more than other sides have recently when Sakho’s been in the team. Let’s hope he’s back available by next weekend versus Manchester City. We need him.
