Very strange and slightly worrying really as a Liverpool fan.
Skrtel and Agger both have seemed to have gone backwards, is it down to Rodgers passing ideology that they struggle with and have lost confidence? When their best assets are just old fashioned centre back play, getting rid of the danger. Coates has rarely impressed me when he's played - Kolo Toure certainly doesn't seem to be the answer. He looks to have lost pace and continually makes basic errors.
We really do need a dominating centre half. The whole of the back line could do with being replaced to be honest.
I've said before we could do with a whole new back four in all honesty. With regards to Agger and Skrtel; Agger just switches off too often, way too many players capitalise on his mistakes and there's no hiding when you're a centre half. Skrtel is fairly similar but he's been out of the frame for a while. Skrtel has struggled with set pieces throughout his Liverpool career, it appears he can't win his place back so don't be surprised if he leaves.
There's rumours we're after the Greek lad at Schalke (it's easier to say that than spell his name), I've seen him a few times on ESPN and he looks good, but will he solve the problems? Especially when both full backs and goalkeeper have struggled this year as well. There was an article a while back talking about Liverpool's mediocrity in midfield being culpable for the drop in defensive form, maybe it's true, but I don't believe that many individual errors can be placed on the midfield's shoulders.
