If not in ours, I hope that there's an alternative universe in which Sakho is forgiven, behaves and strikes up a mean partnership with Matip for many seasons to come, ably supported on the flanks by TAA and Juanma.

We need Stewie's multiverse drive to check out that universe. Ideally that is also a universe where Rafa patched up his differences with Xabi.

I'm sure there's an alternative universe where we signed Messi as a teenager. And one where Souness made better choices on the transfer market and Moores wasn't a numpty and as a result we were never knocked off our perch.

Too bad we can't access them, eh?

We need to, as fans, mentally deal with the fact that Sahko's not part of the clubs plans going forward. He fell afoul of the club's disciplinary system and was frozen out for 6 months. Whilst we don't know exactly what he did or didn't do, I don't think that happens to players over minor misdemeanours. He's not coming back and there's no point in dwelling on it.

Nope.

As always: player vs manager = back the manager.

I agree if our squad was big enough to deal with his absence.

When we were short on centre halves lately Klopp could have called Sahko back already chastened by half a season in the reserves and told him he was playing for his future thus showing all who was boss but also seeing sense from a purely football point of view.

Surely this would have got the best result for the CLUB if only to put him in the shop window.

It's worrying that Klopp can't see this point of view.

And also his comments that the goalkeeping situation is as good as it could be.

Strange to say the least but again the club have handed complete power by giving him A huge 5 year deal too early.
It's around this time that results dipped.

Disagree Dermot. Sahko has been a right bell and we all know that. Klopp is trying to instill discipline in the team and allowing the lunatics to run the asylum, is senseless and in no way helpful towards achieving that goal. If he had recalled Sahko and we still had issues defensively, Klopp has lost his credibility and other players won't respect him.

Clearly, you don't have a problem with that but many of us and Klopp, do and in that situation, the manager will always win. Klopp was right to stick to his guns and has the support of majority of the fans and the owners on this issue. By the way, this is coming from a Sahko fan.

I understand totally what your saying Noah. Red and agree with you on a lot of it but I still think as I said before from a purely football point of view the team would be stronger with Sakho in it rather than playing Lucas at centre half. Carra said something similar as well after the Leicester game.

Klopp has never said publicly that Sakho has absolutely no future with the club. After 6 months in reserve football Klopp could said Sakho had served his sentence and be rehabilitated into the first team when results were at risk.

Sakho could have been getting man of the match performance, so for us instead of helping fat sam at Crystal palace. God only knows what Klopp would have done with The Suarez biting and Evra instances; Siberia most probably.

I agree with your opinon, Dermot. Now as for the Suarez thing, I think Siberia would be a good shout, LOL.
