No, it would be the Sakho who came back from injury too soon and is now off again, and whom we need to stay fit for the next ten matches instead of the next ten minutes.

I am sick to death of reading disgusting personal attacks on our players on here when we know frankly f*** all about what's going on, when it's f***ing private FFS, and when it's based on misinformation, rumour or (as it would appear in this case) the inability of a journalist to understand French.

As soon as we lose a couple of games (and the last onw was 1-0 against Spurs FFS) there's a whole bandwagon desperate to slag off everyone from Hennessey to Benteke via Cabaye, Townsend and Sakho and blame them for anything and everything. The only player out of that lot who we can reasonably say is probably deserving of criticism is Benteke. Criticism of a performance is one thing (Lee was useless on Sunday), but accusing players of feigning injury (for example) is not on. If it were conclusively proven that would be a different matter but there is nothing like evidence of Sakho wanting to do anything other than make sure he is fully fit and available for the rest of the season rather than aggravate his injury again. Of which we should be 100% supportive.

Have some respect, and you can start by giving the benefit of the doubt at least.

I think you will find that I am very supportive of the team and the club (if you look at my posts) as I have been since early 60's. I do not think my comment was a disgusting personal attack but you are entitled to your opinion. There is no point in me continuing the point regarding the medical team as I cannot reveal the source and I am fully aware that without being able to do this I will not be believed. Lets just hope he is back soon, fully fit and up for the fight.

Why do you keep ignoring what Roy said in his Spurs press conference? Sakho is deemed fit by the medical team, he just choses not to play, there is literally nothing else to it unless you want to believe there is.
