Had a good game to be honest as your video shows

He was decent yesterday again.

[McDermotX]

Relatively OK......some involvement with the first goal, or more damning, our three at the back cluster**** showing it's weakness, as he was attracted out to the ball way too far out as Cissokho was left huffing and puffing back with Sagna.

He does have a tendency to risk the interception/challenge more than most of our other CBs, so that doesn't surprise me, but other than that he done his job........Skrtel's overall performance gets the nod though for me.

That is the platonic ideal of a cardigan. All other cardigans are just pale shadows of that *******.

its a cardicoat, often paired with cowboy boots

Man bags.

[Le Chef]

Man bags.

Yeah, you can just imagine them with a Tesco and an Aldi bag each, with a nearly gone soap on a rope, insignia or brut aftershave and a brown double comb

I dont see how he is keeping Agger out of the team , he slow on the ball and hesitates far too often, I think he needs time to adapt including some time on bench because he was at fault for the first goal yesterday.

He was a total pointless signing. The goals against column since he arrived is proof of this and your point on Agger

No he wasn't.

The goals against actually changed with the formation. Not Sahko being in the team. He's gradually got better after a shaky start. Was good yesterday.

Cissoko

Cissoko should of blocked the cross for the goal but his positioning for the goal and in general were awful and Srktel had to constantly cover for him

Dont like this 3 at the back really think we need to revert to a back 4 and Rogers has to sort out the midfield

Have to disagree. Agger and Skrtel were so good together last season that we had to bring back Carragher into the team. They cannot play together and be solid. That's proven fact

Sakho has played a few games and is getting better. He was decent against Arsenal and not sure how you can classify him as a pointless signing. If you think Toure was adequate as our only CB signing this summer then that is wrong as well. Sakho is a top quality defender who's probably lacking match fitness. Going in the right direction for me.

The problem for me is he is that by signing and playing this chap we've lost Agger from the team. Out of Agger & Skrtel I'd rather lose the latter myself over a season. Now its appears that both Agger & Sakho are at home playing the left in a two centre back formation. Can they play together in a two? If not then we've signed a highly rated younger player at the expense of a more reliable experienced Agger. I can only assume with this is mind, the idea is to move Agger on either in January or the summer. He's obviously on a high wage and to be fair gets injured a lot of the time. Otherwise its not an improvement. Why not look for a player to compliment Agger ie a right footer? Unless the idea was to always play 3 at the back and thus reinforcements were required.

I take that point. I find the Agger situation strange for sure. I don't think he is great defensively. He's prone to as many lapses in concentration as Skrtel if not more. Ball playing he is brilliant. But if you want to be a top team, then you need a solid defence. Agger and Skrtel never cut it and I don't think Agger and Toure would either. The right-footed centre-back seems to be the issue

I think Agger may well be moved on, but looks like Skrtel is probably becoming more marketable. A 3-5-2 with Skrtel-Agger-Sakho would be interesting to see as well
