He played Sakho against Citeh last time....and Kompany scored.
This is true. But it's also true that Agger loses his mark a lot more than Sakho. Loads of times last year, this year vs Southampton, etc.
Tough call because Agger and Skrtel have played well together recently and in an ideal situation, Agger doesn't pick up a knock last week, we stick with those two and we don't even have a discussion. Kind of a nice problem though to go into a match with 3 in-form CBs.
I'm not going to lie - the lad still scares me on the ball and given time to think.
I honestly think this is such a myth with Sakho. He looks tremendously awkward, almost goofy, but his passing accuracy -- in both our end and in the final third -- is outstanding. Better than Agger's, technically.
