How boss is Martin Skrtel.

[fowler9]

think he has been ace since he got back in the team (didn't see Southampton game aside from highlights so can't comment on that) think once it became obvious we were after a few centre backs this summer we all thought he'd be off but shown great character to get back in and we have some bloody good options there now!

[Stickman]

Great to have the old Skrtel back, is keeping his place on merit

I guess this is what having competition for places can do.

[JermainePennant]

Every Liverpool fan should have none before this season skrtel is a top player as he's shown that for years here.

 

It was nice to hear Brendan called him in to his office on Friday to praise him, it seemed there was an uneasy relationship there but after all that's happened skrtel has just kept his head down and done his talking on the pitch.Im sure that chat meant a lot to skrtel after it looked like he was being froze out in the summer and is great man management from Rodgers.

[LFC 6 Times]

Really happy for him, thought it was the end for him when Carra took his place for the second half of last season. His performance against United seems to be a catalyst to the return of the Skrtel we all know and love. Well in Martin lad.

[Dracco]

Glad to see him bounce back and showing that he is great defender. What with him now?

 

Keep, sell, wait?

Coincidentially returns at the same time Skrtel gets back in the team :-)

 

Never gonna be a fan of Skrtel myself, as you Dracco probably will remember! Very happy for him, and I totally respect how he's fought his way back. Also think that he's played quite well for a few games now, but I simply don't think he has enough quality.

I would still probably sell if we got a good bid for him (circa £15 million), but only because we are so well stocked in that department. We have Agger, Toure and Sakho, with Ilori, Wisdom and Lloyd Jones coming through. Plus there is Martin Kelly who can play there if need be.

 

There's no doubt that he's been very good so far this season though, so I wouldn't exactly be in a hurry to get rid.

I read forums every day, but rarely post these days mates.

When he is good he is very good.

It's Duncan Jenkins. Chang let you escape then?

Scored this own goal yesterday against Greece :-)

 

The keeper is Jan Mucha, former Bitter :-)

And after final whistle got into brawl with some greeks and got red card...

 

So he can head back to Melwood without playing next game against Latvia :-)

I think it's flown under the radar probably because of how well lots of our players have been doing recently but Skrtel has been excellent.

 

 

 

I think we've seen it's been pretty difficult to play as a centre half in our team but Skrtel has been the best performer there and for a while.  The back 3 seems to suit him as well.  Despite all the fake hard man talk from a while ago I think he is actually pretty tough and his attitude to getting taken off on the weekend showed that.  I wouldn't mind seeing him as captain next season.

Player of the season for me so far

He's been consistently excellent

Chuck Norris wears Martin Skrtel pyjamas.

Check the player of the season thread, currently 14th I think.

To be fair the Player of the Season thing doesn't actually reward consistency.

 

You could be the 4th best player in every single game and lose out to someone that was 3rd best in one game and utter shite in all the others.

Also rewards players who play well in shit performances, just look at Lallana's ranking  on the MOTM this season.

I think he's been the stand out defender all season.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Never will be his biggest fan, but he's played really well over the last couple of months. Long may it continue.

[Dr. J]

He's been a loyal, hardworking servant of the club for a long time - his testimonial will be the next. Has been solid this year, as he was last year - his goals saved us on more than one occasion. Earned the right to be vice-captain, and later captain, imo.

[Kevin D]

There aren't a lot of men who have played alongside Lovren and lived to tell about it. I agree, he should be the next captain.

[KevieG]

He has developed into a really good player over the years. And he is always first in to back up his teammates when there is aggro.

 

Would agree about him being the next captain.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Could anyone dig out that post from when we were first linked with Skrtel - something about him not being a ladyboy or a little girl?
