Totally agree. Sakho and Agger should be first choice for me....forget which foot they use to kick the ball with, and just play them!
Isn't that what he did today though?
Enrique injured
Coutinho carrying a knock and shouldn't have played at all
Sturridge injured
Everyone else is pretty much 1st choice
Cissokho, Sakho and Agger are all more likely first choice than Toure, Flanno and Skrtel in my opinion. While Moses, Sterling and Henderson are just as good as Alberto, Aspas and Allen.
So I wouldn't say they were all pretty much first choice.

sorry but the article is nonsense - everyone fit to start of the first XI did start. this wasn't chopping and changing, it was our best XI + injury cover.
Coutinho's a cracking player,but he's a bit of a lightweight.
Basically, my point is aimed at the back four being changed so often.
Johnson at right back is the only guaranteed starter. Left back is a shambles....and the two centre backs can be any 2 from 4. Need some continuity, especially with so few games this season.
but defending wasn't the problem today
the first and 3rd goals were flukes and at the back we were pretty sound (even on set peices.
It was the attack that was so horrendous and both flanks went missing in attack (all 4 of the fullbacks+wingers were horrendous) Suarez had his worst match ever as well.
Centrebacks were fine. If anything Skrtel was probably our MotM.
Seems like we have abandoned the nice passing football we were playing last season
Simon Mignolet (20) attempted more passes than Sterling (14) today
"but defending wasn't the problem today"
Er....then why did Mignolet pick the ball out of his net 3 times? We saw Skrtel on a hatrick and al they had to do was mark one man. Flanagan is about as brave on the the ball as his sister Helen.
The team was a joke today. But please don't think the defence was OK cos it wasn't.
"Er....then why did Mignolet pick the ball out of his net 3 times? "
2 fluke deflections maybe?
