Ffs give the guy a break, if he had a decent defensive mid in front of him it would help. At least he shows some balls and aggression!

{Ed001's Note - so did Ruddock and Dicks, but they were still awful.}

Haha Ruddock

Im all for a new partnership not involving Skertal and as he's the most senior and longest servant as a CB he is in theory the big dog in the yard. It would be hard for anyone to come in and tell Skertal to cover there, do that, push up etc.
Thats his job and he doesn't do it.

Lol I get ha Ed, skittles ain't awfull though imo. He does drop deep at times but he's in bad company most the time.

{Ed001's Note - it is not just that he drops off, if he just dropped off then his partners in the backline would be able to cope without needing some communication with him. It is because one second he drops off too deep, the next he holds, then a second later he is charging out, only to then drop deep. All without a single shout or call to warn team mates what he intends to do. So they are left having to check his position and then risk getting caught out looking away as their man makes a move, or they can just hold the position they think is right and risk being exposed as he drops deep or rushes out.}

I truly hope Skrtel leaves as DM or not his lack of awareness will keep costing us points. At least Lovren seems decent with a DM but my wish would be to give Ilori and Sakho some time pre season to see if they gel. Ed001 I know you've said it seems likely Ilori will leave but if he has a great tournament do you see any hope for him or has br already decided he's gone?
