Martin Skrtel

[Maxiedge]

I'm much more disappointed that Skrtel talked about something that should have been kept behind closed doors.

Now his "war" with the manager is out in the open.

I would sell him as soon as possible. You simply don't talk with the media about something like this, you simply don't. If Zenit is still interested, sell him.

It's a bit of a strange interview but he's just being brutally honest. He's probably quite relaxed speaking to a native journalist and it's probably lost a bit of tone in it's translation too. Honestly, it's one of those things that can blow over once he comes back into the side. Rodgers will pick him if he's derserving of a place. He's shown that with other players who were seemingly on their way out (Downing, Henderson).

Skrtel just needs to come back from injury and show some form.

[Mostar]

The comments I have read from the likes of Reina, Gerrard, Suarez, Henderson etc indicates to me they like working under Rodgers and he's nowhere near losing the dressing room. They fought pretty hard last Thursday too

Bye, bye Skrtel. No major loss. At least we don't have to put up with him asking for a new deal every summer

I think it would be very concerning to lose him, Carra and Coates all in the same season and only be left with a CB who with exception of this season was very prone to injuries + we would need to bring 3 new players.

CB role need consistancy and losing him and other 2 could greatly affect our balance especially in the short run.

You never know maybe he's been misrepresented in the press, I know that almost never happens but perhaps it has here.

Seems to be a bit of cofusion at the moment about Skrtel.

Was he injured yesterday or just bombed from the squad?

[RichC]

He did have the knee problem but there were reports he should be available.

[Lee]

Yeah that's what I thought I read too.

Strange.

[RichC]

Very strange, I guess there is also the possibily we see either Wisdom or Kelly being used as 3rd choice CB

[Lee]

Definitely possible but very risky at the moment I think.

I like Kelly and he's played a fair bit at CB for the ressies and England but his injury record isn't good.

Early days for Wisdom and he's a CB playing RB so I'm going to reserve judgement.

With Carragher and Coates off already I'd be very worried about Skrtel going too.

[Mattshark]

Kelly's lack of aerial strength worries me with regards to him being CB.

[Shaggy]

Likewise.

[RichC]

Not saying I agree with this thinking but it could be a possibility, I mean as Shaggy has mentioned bringing in 3 CBs in a summer is a big risk IMO but Skrtel doesn't seem to be well thought of at the moment.

Would anyone here be shocked if Carra made a u-turn and decided to give us another season?

I certainly wouldn't.

[Fredo]

I wouldn't bother too much if Skrtel was sold to be honest. If we can get De Vrij and Williams, that would improve our defence.

[RichC]

I'd not be overly shocked if he did that but it could lead to the mistake of not really stregthening the CB positions and look for cover.

Carra is at the end for me, it's great to see him doing a decent job for us at the moment but I'd rather he quit at the end of this season.
