Skrtel

[LeTallecWiz]

@the_khl cannot win ... lavishes praise on player who isn't danish, harassed. lavishes praise on danes, harassed. eats bacon, tummy harasses him. drinks beer, liver harasses him. just become a monk man.

 

[Molbystwin]

Give a fuck!!! GET IN!!! Well played... All o yas....

I don't want skittles sold and never did

 

[kingjulian]

Mark has a point. Kristian's a good lad, but that summary of Skrtel's performance today owes a lot to the fact that Daniel Agger is Danish.

Ah come on he is Danish lad liking a Danish player (who also happens to be a pretty good player and a loyal one for LFC).....to pick him up on it time and time again is just stupid. If he was such a bug Carragher fan, would you lot really have a problem with that?

He said he was focused and had no lapse.....what the heck is wrong with that?

Hey, I've just won watching Liverpool play...

But yeah had one too many Whiskey last night to be honest 🙂

He was excellent in defence ... however I think this match also highlighted why he is no longer Rodgers' first choice. Whenever he was in possession and getting closed down he was rarely capable of finding a team mate and instead put his foot through it, invariable meaning United were now able to regain possession and start building again.
So, defensively a 9/10 however from a footballing perspective rather less than that. Thank you for your service Martin (if you are on your way to Napoli, otherwise happy to see you on our bench) and good luck. Hereon I'm looking forward to better footballing CBs in Sakho and IIlori and if, defensively, they are on his level (and it would seem they are) then we will have improved the team.

82% pass completion rate. 'Rarely' is totally over the top.

And he found his teammates more often than Agger, who had less successful passes. Also more often and with much more succes than Johnson

 

[Judge Jules]

Shut up Jules.

What the feck is wrong with you?? Gave him credit in the match thread and was quick to acknowledge him in here and yet here you are moaning, talking about Agger?

Obsessed much?

Get off it Kris. Yes, you praised Skrtel in the match thread, but your acknowledgement of him in here just had to refer back to all those mistakes you've always accused him of making, instead of simply saying "Well done", and we both know the reason for that.

See above.

 

[Ossi]

What are we going to do with all cb's?

 

[the_khl]

Jules, you obviously read far too much into my praise of Skrtel. For me he was great, one of his best games.

Cheers.

 

[Markeh]

Toss a coin - heads well sell Skrtel, tails we sell Agger

If it land on its side we sell both

No it's not. Passing along the back line when not under pressure certainly boosts that figure. Comment stands. Which is why Johnson's is lower - because he spent much of his time in MF. But don't let that bother you since it's an 'on the face of it' chance to stick an unwarranted boot into Johnson.

 

[mark1975]

Exactly JJ, it was an unnecessary dig.

 

[Rosco]

No it's not. Passing along the back line when not under pressure certainly boosts that figure. Comment stands.

As it does for all of our defenders.

Agger had 30 passes, ten of which were to Skrtel

 

[mark1975]

No it's not. Passing along the back line when not under pressure certainly boosts that figure. Comment stands.

Of course thats all he did, I must have imagined the flurry into their half and layoff to Sturridge.

 

[the_khl]

Thanks Mark, apology accepted!

 

[kingjulian]

See above.

I'm still not seeing where you are coming from on this one....

He said skittles was focused and had no lapse....

If you read that as "he is prone to have concentration lapse", then that's really your problem.....

 

[i_rushie]

Surely that fact that JJ is not alone in discerning the veiled dig at Skrtel suggests it's not a figment of his imagination?

 

[the_khl]

Or it tells us that presumptuousness thrives well on these boards?

Knew as soon as Your name popped up btw, that I had to read more of this rubbish.

You delivered as per.

 

[i_rushie]

Don't be so angry, if it all plays out to expectation, Skrtel's not going to be around to threaten your beloved's place on your pedestal for much longer.

 

[the_khl]

Skrtel doesn't angry me, you have really misunderstood it good haven't you?

If more than one person sees the opposite, then where does that leave your argument?

 

[i_rushie]

Meh, just messing with you - it's been a while since I've waded into one of these. Can't be arsed to keep this up, All over two players who really have flattered to deceive, yet consistently attract more attention than deserved. I can't believe I've spent more than time writing about them than the likes of Sami Hyypia.

 

[i_rushie]

If more than one person sees the opposite, then where does that leave your argument?

That in the context of the_khl's history of posting on Skrtel and Agger, it was open to interpretation, and perhaps you ought not be so quick to jump on anyone's back?

 

[Red Mullet]

A lot of people being wrong?

I've said this before a few hundred years ago a lot of people thought the Earth was flat.

To be honest I did not expect this thread to turn into another dire Agger v Skrtel debate at all. I was giving him praise and was not having a sly dig or whatever.

Made me quite angry, in a time we had just beaten the Mancs mind. So not worth it.

Well done - you remembered the only time he did something of note in possession.

I'm not the one doing the jumping on the back....i'm asking people not to...
