If cbs are getting cussed out after a clean sheet then it's nitpicking.

I've just checked and Skrtel had a 91% pass completion rate.

Yeah Jimmy is just talking nonsense about players he dislikes again. To be fair he's not the only one. There's a right few on here who dislike a player and no matter how good they were, they played crap. He could have had a 100% pass rate and still he kept giving the ball away. It's weird.
