Skrtel

Stop bringing up the price. We all know we overpaid and who cares it was Roman's money!!!

All I can say about Carroll is your never going to see an eye catching but he can thump a ball and worry a defence, ala Duncan Ferguson.

Aggers Right Elbow.. fair comment.

£35 million though.

It was skrtel's first game this season following his recovery after injury, so I feel your bring a tad harsh. He's still a great player to have in the squad imo.

Skrtel played well most of the game and unfortunately one mistake towards the end will be the thing fickle fans will remember.

Also thought Wilson had a great game.

You'd be hard pushed to find a better backup centre back in the league, with perhaps Chelsea and Man United the only exceptions. So for me that means he is a top four quality backup.

On Carroll - why can't people get it into their heads that every player can't be a Suarez, a Ronaldo, a handstand, backflip, round the universe - exciting type of player. Different players in a team(note the word team) have different roles in a team and that means having different types of players to fulfill those roles.

Carroll does what he was bought for, he provides space for other players and gives defenders a horrid time. On top of that he can score with his head and with his feet. I have no doubt many people will be singing his praises by the time the season ends.

Why do I feel like I'm ranting?

but he can thump a ball and worry a defence, ala Duncan Ferguson

He's not in the same league as Ferguson (yet), and the Scott showed far more passion, the only downside was he kept getting sent off because of it.

OP: ffs give Skrtl a chance this was his first game this season,but because he is a threat to your beloved Carra
he will never get the chance.....
