Skrtel

[Romario]

I know he's been massively out of favour with Rodgers (one of the few decisions I don't agree with) but he stepped up today and was a monster. Not long ago he was our player of the year. During Rodgers first season I didn't think any of our defense came out of the season looking all that amazing yet Skrtel paid the price for an evolving team that was far far too open from midfield.

 

I know we've just signed cover but I have a soft spot for him and wonder if the time out of the team has focused him somewhat. Good reliable CB's are hard to find and Sakho will take bedding in and as some have said his potential is massive but he's a bit rough and ready.

 

Personally I'd be sad to see him go this window and feel we've let someone who was out of form go rather than a poor player.

I was wondering what others felt as I get the impression people are fine with him being off which surprises me a little as when he works well with Agger they both look great.

 

Anyone?

[Bogman]

Keep

[Ombudsam]

If he's having one of his "on" seasons then kepp him and sell him to Rafa in the summer before he has one of his "off" seasons

[Hieronymus Bosch]

Think he's been unfairly sidelined. Can't see him staying now though, so hope we get a decent fee.

[forde]

Keep, until Jan at the very least.

[Farmer's Tan]

The only reason he is upping his game is because he see's he is about to be replaced. he should have kept his performance level high and he wouldn't have a problem. I would get rid at the right price seeing as we have adequate cover, we need an aerially dominant centerback not some tattoo laden wimp.

[Zoob]

Was Skrtel any worse than Agger last year? I'm not really sure he was.

[MFletcher]

There's a stronger argument for dropping Agger than there is for dropping Skrtel.

You talking about Agger or Skrtel?

[meepins]

He isn't suited to what we need. It probably won't be this window because it's so late.

[Rimbeux]

I'd sell him in Jan and hopefully be in a position to

[Farmer's Tan]

Both really but seeing as Skrtel is on the chopping block then in this case it's him.

[Hus]

I'd happily keep him, he has proved reliable in the past and as today showed on form he is quality

[meepins]

I'd sell him in Jan and hopefully be in a position to

with a strong league position to entice targets that may have been unsure before.

[fellafeen]

By default you'd want to keep all but I think we might have one too many centre backs now. I was hoping Kelly would get a run there this season but don't see that happening now - still, nice problem to have

[yellow jumper]

these games never really been his problem i don't think. more issues with stoke and west ham than he does the CL teams. he'll do well on the continent.

[Dan]

Nah.

[Kite]

Would definitely be more inclined to let Agger go ahead of him, if the choice was there.

[D.Boon]

If he's happy to sit on the bench for spells then he can stay

[Case]

Keep

[Foo]

Put him in a side that is pushed back and he's ok, but as soon as he's in a side that are pushing high, he's a nono.

[Leroy]

Stupid to get rid, one of our top 3 players today. Loves it here also. Keep.

[Crazy Horse]

I think I saw him kick the ball out of play when Evra was down injured today. Sell him.

[JonShar]

Skrtel has always been good in matches where we're under a lot of pressure.

 

He struggles in the matches we dominate - his concentration isn't that of a top CB, and he ends up getting caught out/making a mistake.

[New York Red]

Impressive as hell today. I hope this uncertainty will give him the kick up the ass and turn him into another great member of the squad.
