Martin Skrtel

I'll leave it to others to respond on my behalf.

Don't post in the footy forum that much nowadays cos of your monologues amongst other things but when i do it's not solely to wind people up or get attention.

Oh poor thing. Wumming is such a bad thing. It's a crime against humanity.

Just find it really dull mate & you don't do it with any wit or freshness of approach.

[Fredo]

That art has always been lost on me, so no surprise there.

Like I said, I've enjoyed your posts in the past even if I ain't agreed with em all. Just find it grates a bit- but then if we were winning everything in sight I'm sure no one would give a ****...

Anybody who thinks Skrtel is good enough is clueless.
Since he signed in Jan 08 we've finished (full seasons only) 7th, 6th, 7th and 8th.

In that time not 1 club, anywhere in the world who play at a higher level i.e Champions League have come in for him.

That tells you 2 things -
1. He has been a regular feature in a LFC side that has performed consistently badly for 4 consecutive seasons.
2. If Skrtel had been a stand out performer, someone streets ahead of the rest of his team mates during those 4 years a better club would have bought him and he would have gone like a shot.

He isn't good enough, end of story.
The fact that Rodgers keeps picking him is baffling since he spent 6 months humiliating him (picking a retiring 34 year old ahead of him) and trying to sell him.

While all you lovely people jump on the Skrtel is **** bandwagon this is from 3/12/13.
Happy Monday everybody

It would still be mind-numbingly tedious to be fair

yeh, but would they now...

[Lecter]

No but thats not the point is it

Birdmans post from 2013 suggested Skrtel had been **** for 4 seasons and that nobody decent would buy him....

yeah but City also bought Mangala for £35m and Otamendi for £30m

and they also have Di Michelis

I don't understand the way people come here and slag our players off. Skrtel is one of our longest serving players, arrived relatively cheaply and has always been one of few who wants to fight, and put his body on the line.

Clearly he isn't performing at a level that we need, and he loses his head at times, and it is time to go. But personally I would just thank him for his time at the club and part ways.

These guys are humans and most of the time giving their all for the club, and i think we forget that sometimes.

Dupe

[Alex]

Yeah I agree with that 100% But its frustrating after and during a match to see it falling apart like that.

I like Skrtel and think he has been decent for us for the last 6 or so years. But he is past his best as a player now.

Why are all mods making double posts all the time?

[Alex]

No idea, but its doing my ****in head in!
