Nice article in The Guardian, highlighting Sakho's role in the turnaround. His distribution stats compared to Dann, Tomkins and Delaney are quite telling.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Add a midfield of Meyer, Camarasa, Luka and Kouyate and we have bl...y good team.

Good to hear that the players have taken responsibility and Wilf has apparently agreed. The manager and the board can demand these things but sometimes it's your team mates that actually get through to you.

Wilf needs to play his way out of the club if he really wants to go.

One more point

It’s possible Wilf has realised that any potential move is still only a possibility. If it’s true that Chelsea, transfer ban and all, and Everton were interested their priorities may change by January/next window; Chelsea’s defence didn’t look that great v Man U. After that his appeal could start to lessen as younger and cheaper alternatives appear so he could be playing for Palace for a while. It’s not in anyone’s interest for him to alienate his teammates.

agreed

Seems we have a ready made captain in Mamadou should Luka not be available.
