team for Man Shitty

[Guest LFD]

You have an opinion.

 

Examples back up your opinion.

 

I have backed up why Carragher has been poor. Bar one goal against Birmingham it is hard to say when he's been at fault for a goal.

[Brownie]

I guess if you can't think of examples, just make up some shit.

 

Yes he can dive in too often, but it is hardly a regular occurance.

 

You're such a tart it's actually quite comical!

 

There's a big difference between sitting down and listing specific examples and not being arsed. If I wanted to, I could go back and analyse each game and list loads of examples where Skrtel has made a massive individual error, but I have one of those life things so i'll pass.

 

As Stringvest says, you build up a general consensus of someone's performance by watching the games and that's all it is.

 

Skrtel has been shite and Carra has been poor.

 

Carra in the team every time for me though.

[Guest LFD]

Or maybe you won't list examples, because there are very few.

 

More likely.

[Brownie]

As I said, a tart.

[coop]

For me its still Carra and then a choice between Agger and Skrtel.

[Brownie]

Next LFD will be saying that Kuyt is the best right winger in the Premiership.

 

Oh wait, he's already done that...

Nah thats Gerrard mate.

 

The only trouble is he is also the best attacking midfielder as well.

[Kevin D]

No way should Torres be risked for this. Not for 90 minutes and not for 5 either.

[Iantn]

Carra and Skrtel have both been poor and have been affected by the fact they don't have Xabi stood next to them, nor full backs who are arguably better defensively than the current ones.

 

Both need to improve at the minute and I've no doubt that they will do. Carra cos he's proved it many times before and Skrtel cos he's still only 24.

[Carra_is_legend]

LFD mate, both Carra and Skrtel have been poor this season. In my opinion, Skrtel has been worse than Carra at times and you could easily argue vice versa.

 

There is no point in banging on about examples as our defense as a whole has been piss poor bar a very few games.

 

In my opinion, Carra should play as he is the organiser of our defense. If Agger is fit enough, he should partner Carra.

[stringvest]

Nah thats Gerrard mate.

 

The only trouble is he is also the best attacking midfielder as well.

 

and probably the best right back as well

[stringvest]

Wrong. Some people have got better things to do. I'm one of them.

[Salte]

More likely.

I'll give you two examples from our most recent match.

Skrtel was at fault for both goals conceded.

First goal: Outmuscled in the box and lost header.

Second goal: His very poor pass upfield went straigt to a Birmingham player, a few seconds later it was in the back of the net.

 

Granted, he isn't the only one to blame, but if he'd played his part better both goals would have been avoided.

[Ted]

I reckon we'll turn the corner tomorrow.....

[Herp McDerp]

Is there a wall around that corner? Or a pit of doom maybe?

[Ted]

Only another corner.

[Antynwa]

I'm not too bothered, I know the script.

 

Saturday : Lose to Man City

Sunday : Bascombe : RAFA TO GO TO REAL MADRID-Posting Ensues

Monday: Tomkins: Why I envy montse...and how United have lost to Man City as well

Tuesday: Probably out of the Champions League or some shit

[Red Phoenix]

It'll be good to see them play again after that fucking intershitional break, I loathe those breaks so much now. The downer is that even if we smash these up 5-0 it's consistency we need, so it'll barely mean anything to me apart from relief that we have the chance to get things moving again.

 

Everton and Blackburn away after this, (and the CL match obviously.) and even though it's one game at a time, we badly need to string stuff together now if we manage to get a result today. Hopefully we'll have the Torres back for next sunday, and again, IF we win today, there'll be a genuinely big chance to move on from this nightmare we've been having for so long.

[zigackly]

I would take a scrappy goal going in off Kuyt's arse in the last minute of extra time to win this 1-0 today.

 

Just any kind of win please ...

[bigal]

Carra and Skrtel have both been poor and have been affected by the fact they don't have Xabi stood next to them, nor full backs who are arguably better defensively than the current ones.

 

The Alonso point is clear. The distribution from the back has been woeful this year, as there's no short ball to Xabi followed by him passing it forward.

[zigackly]

I mean stoppage time by the way. Not really awake yet.

You could say that about every goal though. Carragher has clearly been pooier than Skrtel who has only been pooish by comparison.

Negative, skrtel has been worse. Carragher has improved his form, whil skrtel is going backwards, worringly so. He's starting to look like he's afraid of opposition players now.

Carragher has improved the last few games, but to be fair early in the season he was playing like he was drunk so it's not a great surprise. Getting the balance right in the pairings with the full backs and the other center half partner is going to be as important as individual performances in determining who is going to first choice come the end of the season.

 

If Johnson continues to press on and Carragher continues to struggle one on one then Skrtel won't need to do very much to become a starter.

[Spy Bee]

I am going to the game today for the first time in ages, so you can expect a win.
