That's what we saw today. Remember the season before last, when Skertel was our POTY, of course he had some hiccups last season, but every player goes through that. He was absolute boss today and he compliments Agger really well. Combine this with the fact that they have Lucas in front of them to protect the defense, who was brilliant once again, I am very bullish about our defense.
Onwards and upwards!
Skertagger!

Our defence is sound for a while yet

Exactly what we have been missing...COMPETITION. Now we have it we can really motor, I tell you if we maintain this solid base then wd can finish higher than 4th...imo.

Biggest difference to our defence is Mignolet, the defenders look so much more confident with him in goal. I think that they know if they make a mistake they have a reliable keeper behind them therefore they are under less pressure and play better because of it.

Mignolet is getting me out of the changing my pants phase everytime there's a shot against us which Reina put me in.

Totally agreed TOOR, said to my Dad during the game that I feel so much safer with Mignolet in goal and he agreed.
Hope Reina gets back to his best at Napoli, still a legend.

Absolutely no reason why Sahko and Agger can't play together, to me we have three top CBs competing for two places which will pressure all of them to play well, Sahko and Toure will be a good option against physical teams. Think Wisdom will go out on loan, which leaves Skrtel as fourth choice, still think he may be sold which would leave Ilori as fourth choice, so I am not too fussed either way.

Think we'll keep Wisdom as Johnson and Kelly pick up a lot of knocks and injuries.

TOOR, Brendan did say he wanted to loan him out though.

I hope it's with a clause that he must played centrally in that case.

we've got way too many centrebacks
Agger, Skrtel and Toure are the top 3 then we've got 2 new ones in addition to the younger ones
