We've been so poor defensively for the past 3 seasons, the one mainstay throughout that time has been Skrtel. Why hasn't Rodgers figured out that he may be the issue? More fantastically how has no one else in the coaching staff detected this? Has Skrtel kidnapped Rodgers' family or something? How is he still getting a game? We're on the verge of losing the club's best CB in favour of playing Skrtel. Just let that sink in.

None of our defenders are great to be honest

It's because we're playing lovren

I really do not see us finishing in the top6 let alone the top4 with Skrtel and Lovren as our first choice CB pairing. Giving Skrtel a new contract was a blunder on Brendan's part and Lovren seems to be getting worse with each passing game. Cannot believe the entire coaching staff is so oblivious to the fact that Sakho is the best CB we got and the club has treated him shabbily. While Brendan is is charge, the club will not break into the top4 and i will continue to keep my fingers crossed that he gets booted out ASAP and we finally appoint a competent manager who know how to spell DEFENSE.

You guys are delude if you think everything will be fine if you drop skrtel. He was dropped for Sakho - Lovren and was equally a disaster.
The last two goals we conceded had nothing to do with skrtel.

try sakho ilori/gomez eg.

It needs consistency, dropping skrtl for a game here and there isn't going to solve anything. Whatever the back 4 are they need a run of at least 8-10 games in a row to build an undertstanding. Last season we were changing formations and shoehorning players into defensive roles- hardly a surprise they didn't know what each other was doing.

By now we should have had a strong CB pair and we are still trying with different people.
Hopeless if you ask me.

Sakho and Skrtel will be quality this season, I have always rated Skrtel and think he brings alot, I certainly wouldn't offload him anytime soon, he's probably the best we have. Sakho will make a name for himself more this season.
Not too sure about Lovren, he could turn out decent and hope he does, he certainly has the potential but I think we need some better back up.

Skrtel is a poor defender and the only reason he gets picked all others are poorer than him. BR lost the plot with the signing of Lovren whom he wanted to pair with Skrtel, in reality Lovren has been hopeless till now he has no choice other than Skrtel to partner Sakho.
Things might change this season.

I'd rather Sakho-Toure than Lovren-Skrtel.
Sakho and give Ilori a try would be my first preference though.
It's a pity Lovren hasn't settled and hasn't looked comfortable at Right CB when he has played there. Then again he hasn't looked comfortable anywhere.

BR wanted and maybe still wants Sahko gone which is why he bought Lovren to replace him, per Ed01 last season. The fact that BR has been here four going FOUR years yet doesn't know who his best CB pair is and is trying to sell our most competent CB tells you all you need to know about BR's blatant incompetence on this issue. He kept Skrtel, bought Lovren to replace Sakho, who he has always want(ed) rid of and wants Lucas gone so as to play Allen as DM. Common denominator here? BR!
