Skrtel
Agger?
Agger was ok, its his partner who let us down today, sloppy for the first goal and let Beckford get away from him for the second.
I can understand his first wasn't as simple as him being poor. He was on the back foot. It's hard to jump off the deck like that. You could argue Johnson should have cleared the ball off the line too. His second was a poor mistake, granted, but when you isolate most center halfs like that, a good forward will almost certainly come out on top inside the area. I think people can be overly critical of Skrtel. He and Agger have shown signs of a good partnership at the back when all is well in other areas of the pitch.
