2nd is still fucking boss like. Really fucking good. Anno its shite cos it's this end of the season but still

We should. But some of the luck we had in earlier matches is rolling the other way now. Was always going to happen sooner or later.

It isn't. It's fucking unbearable 🙁

I don't know why we need to try and put a positive spin to this - I doesn't make it any easier to deal with.
 
It's not about having Agger on the bench it's about us having a better defender on the bench.
It's about playing the defender who works well with Skrtel and has the best clean sheet record.
 
Not blaming anything on Sakho on his own, but he's one of the culprits that made us play so deep and let Palace have a field day. 'He didn't put a foot wrong' is bollocks to me.

Skrtel is the senior CB so if the line needs to be moved up you'd expect him to do it, you don't want any CB to be moving up field by himself and Sakho is in his first season here so why expect him to make the call. It is not a call that an individual makes, it's as a team or not at all. And since SG is right there if moving the line forward is what was wanted then don't you think he'd have told them ? Or should have ?
 
Johnson and Lucas can't be relied upon, it's not an agenda it's just plain and simple, Johnson get's targeted by teams so often these days you have to ask questions. When he's not supporting the attack well, he's a liability, because defensively he's all over the place.

I'm fucked if I'm convinced by our £18m centre half either, not dominant or decisive enough, neither is Skrtel. We need a towering, composed leader.


it's just weird with johnson and the defensive side of things at times , he's so complacent and half hearted . His legs for it look to be gone also , like he spends himself with the attacking . I wonder if these mysterious injuries have finally taken their toll.

And i'm 100% with you with the sadko and skrtel opinion . Like with agger , it seems they need a carragher in there telling them what to do . And i still will never trust skrtel and the way he commits and dives in , it's always costing us .
 
I begrudge saying agger works well with skrtel

Either of them needs someone in their ear. Skrtel at least this season looks like he's trying to take that mantle
 
I honestly think he's shaky as fuck, makes needless rash tackles and isn't anywhere near as dominant as I imagined/hoped.

No wonder you are so wrong, you were watching Dunn. Sakho is the big black guy who was playing in Black & White tonight.
 
I thought Skrtel was starting to become a Liability when he got that Yellow Card.. He became to scared to tackle in fear of being sent off..

Should of replace him then... imho...
 
Imagine if Shevchenko had scored that goal in extra time at Istanbul, undoing our fairy tale run, and our unthinkable 3 goal comeback.

That's what this title race feels like.

Utterly fucking gutting. Someone get me Dr. Peters' number.

Hahaha, you're obviously really struggling with it. I was upset after the Chelsea game and when City beat Everton. Tonight I'm just fucking angry.

He's at the snooker with Ronnie.
 
Sakho preconceptions:

He's black and big so he has to be scary and tough. Truth, no he's not.

He's tall so he has to be good in air. Truth, average. That free header in the first half was great.

He has long legs so he has to be quick. Truth, not really.

He has long legs so he has to be good at tackling, Truth, sure but he needs to work on his timing.

Agger preconceptions:

Ryan said that he's shit so it's got to be true. Truth, we don't care about the truth he's fucking shit.
 
It's a good job that Skrtel is great at scoring, cos he can't defend for fucking toffee. Him and Johnson. I'm sick to the hind teeth of both of them, if Skrtel isn't trying to give away a pen every week, we've got johnson wandering up field, doing fuck all, then waddling back and letting anyone that fancies it run past him. Good luck to england with him at rb in the world cup, suarez will have a field day with him.

IMO we need about 50mill spent in the summer on 1x CB, 2x FB's, 1x DM, 1x CM. But I'm not entirely sure that would fix it, it might be the way we play.

How about this..? They're ALL far from being top class defenders. Your hero wasn't exactly making people forget about Alan Hansen when he was playing either.
 
Modo, everyone is gutted we've lost, but not you, no. You're too wrapped up in your own agenda driven, woe is me, bullshit.

Do EVERYONE a favour and shut up.

There's a handful of reasons why the wheels have fallen off. An injury-prone enigma isn't one of them.
 
The Agger stuff has to be the most tedious shite on this site, we could sign a reincarnation of Franco Baresi to replace Agger and it would still be the same old tedious shite after we don't win a game.

Fingers should be pointed firmly in Johnsons direction if anyones after today, absolute wank from him, does he ever block a cross? he is the most brainless player we have by a distance.

I think the truth is our whole defence is decent but flawed. Pretty much every single one of them.

If I could get my money back on Sakho I'd definitely take it.

Agger has just as many problems. I'd rather he was sold.

Johnson and Flanagan are both far from perfect.

Even Skrtel is totally inconsistent from one season to another.

It's all a bit of a mess.
 
Skrtel is the senior CB so if the line needs to be moved up you'd expect him to do it, you don't want any CB to be moving up field by himself and Sakho is in his first season here so why expect him to make the call. It is not a call that an individual makes, it's as a team or not at all. And since SG is right there if moving the line forward is what was wanted then don't you think he'd have told them ? Or should have ?


Again, he's an 18m centre back who once captained the biggest club in France. He shouldn't need his hand held, nor should Skrtel. But evidence has shown the difference one good centre back that can organize the defence can make when Carra came in second half of last season. Neither of them are leaders and it's a massive problem. I'll say it again, Sakho and Skrtel played 17 games together and have one clean sheet.
And no, it's not Stevie's job to tell the centre backs where to position themselves every time there's an attack. He can instruct them in a general sense, as can Rodgers, but not every time we're facing some attackers.
 
As I've said a few times, we could do with a completely new back five. We could improve on all them. Our defence is shit, evem taking into consideration we're so attacking.

We could have done with Carra staying on another season
