    Yep, better than usual but the same theme applies as always, Skrtel plays, we look atrocious defensively. Interesting that Toure looked brilliant next to Agger but a clown next to Martin aswell.

    Still, at least he didnt cost us a goal this time like the 3 v Hull, 2 v City, Eto'o, Charlie Adam etc etc.

      We need to get a settled CB pairing for the good of everyone, it looks like that will be Skrtel and Sakho when everyone is fit, with Agger 3rd choice and Toure 4th. I think all the centre backs have suffered because of the lack of a settled partnership, and once we have it hopefully we will be conceding a lot less goals and look more solid.
      The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

        We certainly do need a settled pairing, if honest and as crazy as it sounds I'd not be against us looking for a new partner for Sakho and selling either Agger or Skrtel to accommodate

          I'd totally rebuild our CB department in the summer around Sakho.

          Toure/Skrtel aren't good enough and Agger is totally unreliable in terms of fitness which is a shame. We've got the numbers but not the quality.

            Was Sakho on the bench today?

              The whole defence needs rebuilding, fullbacks too

                Agree.

                Johnson has fallen off a cliff and Enrique is looking world class right now mainly because he hasn't been playing and Cissokho is in his position.

                    Totally had it with Johnson. Keep hearing he is world class but he has been crap for most of the season. Defensively he is woeful

                      With everyone fit, I'd look to go Johnson, Agger, Sakho and Enrique...until the summer when I agree it needs something of an overhaul. I think that back four ought to suffice until the summer.

                        I think that Johnson is another that is suffering because of the lack of quality elsewhere in the back 4. I noticed a few times that Johnson was offering very little going forward and having to play further inside because Cissokho went missing so often and the other three were more or less playing as a back 3 which obviously doesn't suit Johnson. IMO Johnson has been playing much better when Cissokho isn't playing.

                          Johnson is the kind of defender who looks okay when everyone else is solid and looks shocking when everyone else is poor. He brings a lot to the table offensively so that is a sacrifice you can make when the team is playing well. However, his ability to do anything going forward has somehow vanished lately.

                          He wouldn't be the first player I'd look to replace but considering his contract situation, I'd be wary of giving him the deal he's looking for.

                          I'm hoping Wisdom gets back more polished offensively and Flanagan continues to progress. Wouldn't mind us rolling the dice on them.

                            Like I say I think that the issue with Johnson is Cissokho and he (Johnson) having to change his game to adapt for the benefit of the team. I may be alone in thinking this, but I don't think that Johnson had a bad game today, he just didn't play in the way (style) he normally does, because he was only defending and not going forward at all.

                              Wisdom is getting pretty phenomenal reports from Derby. He's got to be pushing Johnson when he comes back.

                                I assume he's been playing RB at Derby then?
