I agree Lucas has been excellent for 18 months or so. Took a while for him to settle in. Skrtel has had his best season to date but has been 6/10 for most of his Liverppol career. Agger has been injured for like 10 years and needs a couple of really injury free decent seasons to show his true worth. So I dont really see how we're expected to be challenging for league titles with these players. They have shown consistently over the last 5 years or so, judging by were we have finished and goals we have conceeded (e.g how many goals from corners have we conceeded??) that they are not up to the mark to be top defenders.
This is what happens when we wear blinkers and proably one of the reasons we are seventh in the league having conceeded more goals that the two Manc teams.
Have Lucas, Agger or Skrtel ever got into any Premier Team of the Season? and would they make the City or (Poor) United teams? Lucas might make the odd United team.
We are where we are because we have average players. It's no great mystery. Only Reina, Suarez, Gerrard (for another season) nd possibly Johnson (at a push) should be first teamers . Not even Skrtel (our best player this season) is good enough.
