Neither could be blamed for any the goals, Skrtel clearly got a shout from Mingolet for the first and for the second goal if anyone was at fault it was Flanno for not at least jumping and making it hard for the striker.
I think we are deffo missing a vocal Carragher type presence at the back, Carragher would be screaming at our midfielders to 'get out' and to engage the opposition at the halfway line and not at the edge of our box. Not sure if Skrtel or Sakho have the balls to start ordering Gerrard around though. Carragher would have been physically grabbing our CM's today and shoving them out of our box and we miss that in these games

Sakho was awful mate ,he once again upended an opposing player in a dangerous position and his indecision on the ball
seen him robbed of the ball more than once ....However I concur with your opinion on Skrtel having a decent game ,but
as regards Sakho I really don't know how you could arrive at the conclusion he was anything more than an accident waiting
to happen in our back four.....Agger's reintegration into our back line cant come soon enough for me.

I cant say Agger was filling me full of confidence in the last few of games he played

Granted he should have just hoofed it into row Z instead of trying to be Diego Maradona but he only had a fraction of a second to think.
When they had a spate of corners and crosses I was certainly glad we had the big fella in there, not sure if a paring of Skrtel and Agger would have coped under that Ariel bombardment.

I disagree implicitly ,Sakho was dire and nothing anyone can say will detract me from my observations, as for winning aerial duels ,correct me if I'm
wrong ,but a result of him being out jumped led in effect to a Norwich player scoring ,yes ?

Agger has a bad game we say bring back Sakho, Sakho has a bad game we say bring back Agger. Skrtel has a bad game and we say bring back Toure . Although Sakho had an average game (he wasn't poor though), some of the comments here are ridiculous. Resembling Jimmy Traore? Sakho is probably our best defender! Just a few days people were saying that we should build our defense around him.
