Of course mate. Skrtel was playing his best football, putting one MoM performance after another and then suddenly that little cunt benched him.

RBSB News Detail - Peter Gulacsi – Red Bull Salzburg’s first new signing It looks like official, therefore not in transfer thread. Hopefully we´ve got at least few galons of Red Bull for him.

If Daniel Sturridge didn´t move his ass in the wall, it could not come in, and the Skrtels challenge was not a foul from my point of view. Skrtel was poor, but he made also fair share of important interceptions and clearances to prevent Saints scoring another 3-4 goals, so poor we were as a unit. The third goal was definitely his, he seemed very rusty, not playin for 2 months did not do him any good. He should have done something not just run back to goal, he seemed that he would´ve run to the goal line without trying to do anything to stop Rodriguez. But the first one was unlucky to him, as it was completely fucked up by by whole BACK4. Agger was pulled out of position as he went for Lambert almost assistant referee position, but then let Lambert to take the ball and make easy pass to....someone...Than the someone made a corss withou being attacked by Enrique who was only watching him, and then Johnson did not do anything. Skrtel was pulled out to the hole Agger left, so he was almost in LCB position at the time, when Glen did not even attempt to head the ball, and Skrtel started to run back and he had maybe 5 yards more to run than Schneiderlin, who´s finish was fine. But he was simply shocking, and it was sad because he looked like he was trying...

And to make the weekend even better Dave, your boy Milan Baros scored hattrick for Banik Ostrava at the weekend, and he is playing there for free...His full wages are directly send to some fund for development of youth football in Ostrava. Class act. And he donated 1 000 000 Czech crowns to them as well (about 40 000 euro).

I did n ot vote because there is no: Keep him, but he is not good enough for top 4, so just only like back up. He could be useful, but when we want aim for places at the top, then he can not be starter for us.

Celta Vigo sub drinks beer on the bench | Pitchside Europe - Yahoo! Eurosport UK Probably bull, but like Reina quotes inside.

Directly in Slovak he said, that :" He thinks the manager´s decision was affected by one situation"... It could be the mentioned City bid, or the Carra bitching as our detective mentioned above, or something else. Anyway, it seems that at the end of August we will see only one of Rodgers and Skrtel, and from my point of view it is 90:10 for Brendan staying.

You never had him in the Top 3 players of the game last season. You probably would not have him there if he had scored hattrick.

3 posts above Walton Park wrote something that could be the reason. (City bid) But on RAWK there was also information regarding City bid for him in January and FSG and Brendan wanted to cash in on him, but Skrtel refused- Could be either, and also could be bull.

Bit of translation from that article: Why did you not start in Liverpool’s recent premier league games? „That should be question for the manager. He selects team and players. At the moment I’m not in the starting eleven. I regret it but the manager made the decision and I have to respect that.“ Did Brendan Rodgers explain you why he decided to bench you? Do you talk to each other? „We talk but it’s not ideal. He told me something, gave me some reason but it’s hard to say if if was the real reason. I don’t think it was, I think it’s something else. But I’m not that kind of player who keeps visiting manager, being in his office every day and finding out what’s going on and why I’m not playing. I have never done that and never will do so. If manager wants to talk he comes to me and we talk but I don’t come to him.“ The reason he told you was? „It all happened after the Man Utd game in the middle of january. Previously we won twice, away at QPR 0:3 – and home with Sunderland, keeping two clean sheets. We lost in Manchester 1:2 though, but I think we played some great football in the second half particulary. What’s more many sources gave me good mark for my performance. Manager told me that he thinks we lost organistation in defence in last few games and because of that he will not play me in upcoming fixtures. I don’t know which games he was thinking about considering we managed to win last two games and kept clean sheet.“ So you think it’s not the real reason. What do you think it is then? „I think it was affected by one situation but I don’t want to talk about it now. Maybe after the season but not right now. I don’t want to cause any conflicts, the most important thing is team success and I will cheer for my team whether it’s from the bench or stands.“ What’s next for you? „Wait, that’s the only thing I can do right now. While I was fit I gave my best and did everything I could to prove manager that I belong here. I waited for my chance, one came in Petersburg but I didn’t play after that game. Unfortunately I’m injured now and we’ll see what happens when I’ll be fit.“

Å krtel je v nemilosti trénera, ale nechce zbytoÄné konflikty - Å port.sk Skrtel speaks in Slovak media, about why is he thinks that he is not playin, and he thinks that there is not because of footbaling reason. He thinks that he knows why, but he does not want to talk about it now to make conflict inside the club. He says that he thinks about one specific situation, that happened between the games against United and Norwich, but he thinks that it should not be discussed during season, and maybe when the season finishes he will speak about it. And Brendan directly told him that " he won´t play him in upcoming games". Also that he does not want to leave and he will fight for his place, train hard and will see what happens, and will think about the departure only when manager says him straight that he does not want him. Until that he will support the team even without him, and it doesn´t matter if it will be from the bench, or from the stands. Don´t have time to translate it all, maybe later......but.... I can´t remember the last time when moaning in press helped someone.....

He is mate, and even better in the shower. (6)

If there is not enough space on bench for both of them, I would definitely have Oussama there before Sterling, as an impact player. We all know that Raheem has talent and will grow, but Assaidi is 24 (maybe 25 ) years old, so he should be tried now, and not just because of the age, but he seems better currently than Raheem. I would maybe even start him in some games until the end of season with Luis and Sturridge.

:drool: I´d rather smash his wife to say the thruth mate. I´ll leave Skrtel´s ass for someone else, and I don´t have a single picture of him, I should probably get some ;)

It was fun to see him tonight in Champions League. He probably feels he moved to better club, with regular CL football. And he plays left back for Galatasaray...I remember him as a lazy guy who never liked to track back, I can not imagine him bombing up and down by the line...

Don´t agree. Bellamy was in top form for 2 months, somewhere between october and december if I remember correctly, then disappeared. I would put him maybe in 4th place, clearly behind Skrtel and Luis, and probably also behind Agger.

You don´t have to take all the posts serious...For example Jairzinho rates Skrtel as far as I know...

Little wind up?

Hope the same happens to you.

If anyone cares.... Injured, out for 3-4 weeks, torn thigh muscle.

I thought Skrtel had a mare against Utd.....He was dropped in next game.....:wallbutt: There is clearly something behind the scenes. I´ve heard somewhere that he had and argument with Rodgers after Oldham game, when Martin defended the youngsters against Brendan´s criticism....

sturridge enrique Suarez

For me he is. Drops Skrtel after being our best defender against United, and plays Agger even if he plays awful for months. People used to say, he picks his line up based on form....

I think it is time to drop Agger to kick up his arse. But Brendan is still licking his balls by saying he is "brilliant" and "finest CB in Europe", even after his awful shows in last 2 months. And Carra can play 3 games in 6 days, because he plays on 10 yards around the penalty box, so it will be Carra-Agger again.

None of them can be worse than Agger in last two months.
