I don't understand where this sentiment is coming from. Sahko is an extremely accurate passer and is plenty good with his feet. He looks awkward but he plays the ball better than the majority of CBs.
Yeah he is pretty solid when he has got a bit of time and space and he is also a real confidence player who can become a bit of shrinking violet if he has a bad start. I thought he was an absolute liability with the ball today. I counted three errors that could have all cost us, there was the obvious one where he had time but telegraphed his pass that they really should have scored from. There was a second when he absolutely drilled one In to Joe Allen who was being closely marked (I think Joe might have wisely taken a booking on that occasion) and there was another really poor pass on 70 minutes down towards the left touch line that also nearly set them away.
In terms of our back four I'm chuffed to bits with Lovren and Moreno. But the jury is still out on the rest of them in terms of us having a top class back line.
Great win though, was nervous about this one, really fancied them to turn us over in truth. It i think this says to the rest of the league, we're no one season wonders. I would have taken 6 from the first 9 points if offered if a few weeks ago so happy days plus two of our toughest away days put of the way.
