As for the third goal - Agger is a cb not a natural left back but some blame must be given to Jovanovic as well as Agger closed down Nani quickly but shifted the ball to O Shea ( who was rightly still on the pitch ) who put the cross in , Jovanovic should of been marking O shea .

And what about the center backs who clearly did not deal properly with berbatov???

Yes the centre backs are indeed equally culpable for the goals conceded MH ,but the fact remains we didn't recruit them in the Summer in order to make us a more solid unit ,we did however bring Konchesky in to give us exactly that ....and he has failed so spectacularly to the extent of making Johnson look more competent.... something I have to admit I thought infeasible but have been proved sadly wrong

He has had one bad game and "he has failed so spectacularly". Just a slight over reaction. Have you forgotten already Konchesky was one of our better players against Birmingham? It seems several people have it in for him and just want to concentrate on the negative than positive. There are more serious problems in the side than left back. Skrtel, Maxi, and Torres to name three.

There you go surmising that I actually thought he had a decent game against Birmingham ... contrary to popular belief I feel personally he didn't ...at times he made Jerome Thomas look like Fucking Drogba in the air such was the Birmingham mans aerial dominance
If you personally feel that his showing against the Brummies was Liverpool class that's your prerogative fella ...I thought he was marginally better than the profligate Johnson and lets face it that wouldn't be hard ...I think a certain amount of confidence needs to emanate from a defender otherwise its reflected in the crowds anxiety ,I don't feel this confidence or an assured presence from Konchesky and I doubt if anyone was being totally honest with themselves they would either ...

did jerome play right wing or something ?

Or is Konchesky now expected to try and stop the crosses coming in and then win the header in the middle as well ?

Who's surmising now? I didn't say he was Liverpool class against Birmingham. I said he was one of our better players, in an overall poor performance by the team. With the exception of Reina, NONE of the players are currently playing to Liverpool class. Konchesky will grow with confidence. He's only been here for a very short period. Unlike several others who are performing as, if not more, poorly.

No Ben but generally when someone is jumping with them , which Konchesky was when the occasion arose you make a better fist of heading the ball

Well i'll stand by what i said about the Birmingham game, i think he was decent.
Against united he definitely wasnt.
Hopefully we see more performances like the Birmingham one than the united one.

Fair enough lad .. I too hope he improves for the sake of this club but like I have stated I don't believe he has the necessary attributes to solve our problems at LB

Sorry but he is better than Insua how?

He isn't. Insua was poor, Konchesky unfortunately, is terrible.

by **rocky29** » Mon Oct 18, 2010 2:15 am

he is a joke one hes slow two he carnt tackle and 3 hes always getting caught out of position and 4 bigmick rates him say no more

by **stmichael** » Mon Oct 18, 2010 11:44 am

i've seen some terrible signings in my time but this guy takes the pi$$.

by **Ian Rush's Right foot** » Mon Oct 18, 2010 11:49 am

His positional sense is non existant
He offers less than both Insua & Auerlio going forward
He has no confidence
He can't tackle

He is not a liverpool player!

He's also far too bald!!

I still can't believe We got Koncheksi and Fulham got Salcido at half or the more the price. You got question the ability of some managers to spot quality.

by **tommycockles** » Mon Oct 18, 2010 12:08 pm

he always seems to get caught in possession or is so intent on passing sideways that he passes it to a cb who's under pressure from attacking forwards. He doesn't seem to install confidence or calmness in the back line. Sorry to say but doesn't seem as good as Insua who wasn't that bad and was okay going forward.
