Liverpool has some problems in the rearguard this season, but according to Phil Thompson these are partly the fault of the club itself.On the final day of the summer transfer market, Mamadou Sakho was sold to Crystal Palace for 28 million euros.Jürgen Klopp should never have allowed that, Liverpool’s club legend says.
According to Thompson, who wore the Liverpool shirt between 1971 and 1984, nobody from the current Liverpool defense at Sakho’s level,”Our best defender was allowed to leave at the beginning of the season just like that”, the former Mamadou Sakho was a soldier, a warrior.We all saw that at Crystal Palace last season.He was also at Liverpool already like that.
According to Thompson, if Klopp and Sakho couldn’t get it together, the German should have dealt with it differently,”I know that there is sometimes disagreement in football, but you only hurt yourself if you react in this way”, says the former international of England,”Now they’ve also caught up next to Virgil van Dijk for whatever reason, so you’d definitely have to keep Sakho”.
Mamadou Sakho was the best defender of Liverpool.
