I give Skrtel praise when due and he wasn't horrendous today but all this "our best defender" crap when he was so obviously not having a good game is getting on my tittays.Skrtel wasn't at his best today. So I'm with Agger ops I mean Khl on this.
It's a funny game football, as my opinion at the match was that Skrtel was superb but get home and come on here and I find people saying he wasn't great.
Must be some shit streams out there or something. Baffling.
Suarez, Lucas, Skrtel were the best 3 on the park although I thought Sakho did very well too.
Seconded.It's fucking baffling, I don't understand what other people are watching sometimes.
On a side note, anichebe won every single header against Toure, Sakho, Johnson. He's a handful at times, felt a bit sorry for him today. Had no support at all.
He is our best defender in my opinion, can't be dropped.
That Cissoko is fucking muck though. I'd sooner have Momo playing LB. Even with one good eye.
With 3 at the back Skrtel would've played if I had to pick. Doesn't change he didn't have the best of games.Was at the match and thought the same. Skrtel bossed it - clean tackles, important interceptions and won his headers. He's been rock solid this season, I'm sorry if that's an annoyance to all Agger fans, boohoo.
Seconded.
Skrtel was the only defender making clear mistakes that could've costed us. You didn't see that or thought it was made up by his performance overall?
Genuine question.
Suarez and Lucas were superb today. I'm really not liking the look of Cissokho though, please play Enrique against Arsenal.
Any links folks?? Missed all of it 🙁
WBA had two chances in the first half both due to Skrtel mistakes. Neither Sakho nor Toure made any glaring mistakes yet Martin was better in your eyes.The only error I saw was the one he misread the ball which resulted In the Anelka chance. But he cleared the ball off the line and made up for that so no problem.
Yeah he had a chance he prob should have scored from but he's not a striker so I'll let him off.
I really thought he played well today. In my top 3.
Do you not find it odd you're on your own on this one Kris?Skrtel was amazing today?
Blimey.
He won every header, cleared a goal off the line, kept Anichbe in his pocket, made countless blocks.
Oh wait he hit 3 stray passes so obviously he was the worst defender.
I take you had a shit stream and couldn't see our LW all game who was so bad he deserves a minus score
