Skrtel

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

Seriously, so after all the defensiveness, you're questioning his game after all. Khl sends his thanks for being really shit at defending his comments.
 
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
Where are you getting your stats from if you mind me asking?

Your own observations perhaps?

Que ? WTF are you on about ? What defensiveness ?

I like Skrtel (as I've said), he was superb in defence today (as I've said), his 'distribution' was as shit today (as I've said) as it usually is (and why I believe Rodgers doesn't fancy him) .. so again WTF are you on about !
 
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.....

No, it simply is not. There is a history to this which has been too long and consistent to be waved away like that.

That said, I don't want to fall out with guys I like and respect over this, today of all days. Peace.
 
When was it shit? Seriously, don't fucking bother, I give up. What a load of biased selective bullshit.

I will because, seriously, you are the one with the selective memory. This is from Rurikbird's 'Possession Under Pressure' thread :

Skrtel hoofed the ball constantly.

Now if I wasn't the only one to notice it (and I doubt it was only the two of us), how come you didn't ?! Seriously, don't fucking bother, I give up. What a load of biased selective bullshit.

Amazing that with all that hoofing, he managed to get the second highest pass success rate of the starting XI. Or was that because he was passing it sideways? Fucking amazing how he managed that when he was also constantly hoofing it and giving it away.

That stat came courtesy of Rurik btw.

Skrtel played well today, and was up against one of the best strikers in the world. Saying that, the supply to him was shit due the graft that a lot of our other players were putting in. So Skrtel just had to play a sensible slow solid game, he didn't bail us out of the shit by any means.
 
Yeah, hoofs aplenty there, I think it's criminal the way on about 3 or 4 occasions he gets his boot in there to snuff out the danger and just gets rid, that far outweighs the other 20 odd times he passes the ball out from the back to a team mate, it's also terrible the fact that he tries a couple of longrange Hollywood passes too, we don't want to see our defenders doing that. Heaven forbid.
 
Slightly surprised he's still with us. Hopefully it'll be a case of best man (in the fight for central defence spot) wins rather than bias-ness or agenda.

You don't think that has been the case so far? You actually reckon Rodgers have an agenda towards Skrtel?
 
I'm very surprised he's still here. With Toure and Sakho coming in this window I thought he'd defo be off. Maybe we couldn't get the right fee for him.
 
My guess is that Skrtel already knew he was staying put prior to the United game, could explain the rejuvenated look and feel about him compared to the second half of last Season where he at times looked like would've preferred to be somewhere else.

Confidence and stability is an important factor for some players more than others, and despite what some posters might think a player with a performance like Skrtel's against United is always a welcome addition to our team imo.

I hope he'll have a great Season with the rest of them.

Same here.

You won't unless Agger gets injured. The chance of that happening is slim to none.
