long time no post from me. Just wanted to say that the site is definitely improving, Ed001 and Ed002 (lovely lady ) are giving their comments exactly as they see it. no nonsense! Regarding the reds i'm probably like most old supporters, clearly something is not quite right. I love some of the players and especially the new arfivals Gomez(brilliant), Clyne( quality defender), Milner ( real pro, tough, dedicated), Benteke ( beast of a player, hard worker), Firmino ( skillfull, needs bit more time ), Ings ( i'm very impressed, a good player who will develop ).

We also have some other great players in Coutinho, Ibe, Can, Hendo. My real concerns are both Skyrtl and Lovren.its just not working and i'm not sure why.

Ive never been a great admirer of Brendan, but he's our manager so we will support him. He needed a few wise old heads alongside him and he has been given them. let's hope he learns from his mistakes. Still a great site Eds, keep up the good work.ps they've removed the shrapnel and i'm out of hospital and on the mend now :-)

{Ed001's Note - good to see you back mate.}

Hi Tel welcome back buddy.I love reading your posts always on the button.I am still bewildered over Ilori going on loan.As Ed002 has said FSG made a mistake in the summer by not getting rid of BR.

Skrtel has never been good enough to be a top defender because he has no intelligence, composure or self control. Lovren on the other hand does seem to have lost the midas touch and seems hopeless, however i think he would play much better alongside sakho.

have to agree there Tel one of them has to be dropped next game Skrtel its like the jurys still out on him for me all the time he's been here I just feel there's a mistake not far away such as a clumsy tackle, shirt pull in the box, or wot ever . lovren seemed to start ok then forgot about basic defending and clearing his lines against hammers. I would drop skrtl though for sackho or toure.

You can have as many old heads around you as you like but, if you don't listen.
Job's beyond him.
Shake his hand and move him on.

Thanks for welcome Barry. its a strange one with ILORI, i am assuming Brendan doesn't think he's quite ready just yet. Personally i don't think we can continue with our current two centre backs. For me, i would take the risk and try young Gomez alongside Toure, until he learns the ropes. Toure is an intelligent player who could benefit from having a fast young centre back beside him. he is prob the best player we have to help ease Gomez into that position. A good blend of youth and experience. We have a few players who could do the left back role until Joe settles in at Centre back.
What have we got to lose, the current choice is clearly not working, if he stays with Skirts n Lovren and we get tonked again, the crowd will be on his case big style, and quite rightly too.
Go on Brendan. be brave

Why not Sakho Tel?For me he has to be our first choice CB.

Agree with part of your post but this idea that BR doesn't think he's ready yet whereas it was he who bought him, does my head in Tel. He's been here for three years yet hasn't played a single minute for his club, all loans. Whey does that tell you about BR's ability to spot talent? It says that he has no idea what he's doing and is staunching players' careers as we speak. If Ilori isn't ready after three years, what does that say of the guy who bought him? I say, give him a chance because surely had can't be worse than Laurel and Hardy at CB currently, can he?

Lovren and Skrtel just don't work in our high-line system and never will. Ilori & Sakho would make a fine pairing for that system, we're definitely missing a trick there and I desperately hope somebody rectifies it. However, with Ilori's departure it appears we will have to suffer through another season of Skrtel fever.

Now that we're talking about it, can my avatar be approved please Eds? :)
