Lovren prodomanently played lcb iirc although he is right footed, bit of a throw back to last season when some called for an anger-sakho partnership but both being left footed seemed to be a problem despite their being examples of same footed partnerships, so while Lovren is playing rcb with sakho he prefers lcb I guess.
It's a bit strange you would have thought wed have bought a dedicated rcb to partner sakho or sell him and buy Lovren and another cb perhaps.
On centre backs Bordeaux played last night and no sign of ilori, probably injured as he was not even on the bench. If they keep going well it will be interesting to see if he gets game time.

Personally I'm not having the ' I can't perform 5 yards to the left excuse'. If CB can only play on the left/right - he's useless.

I've read that nonsense more times than I care to remember. The dumbing down of playing centre half. :rolleyes:

Not confident about this one at all.

Hopefully the performance levels pick up.

me either, but I am hopeful that beingthe home team, they'll come out and attack more rather than two-rows-of-5 defense in front of their own fans.

As long as they don't score early, it could be interesting.

"accident waiting to happen"

Lazy arm-chair analysis I've heard a few times lately

While it might be true, Lovren is an accident happening right in front of our eyes.

If either of them deserves the chop it's Lovren.

I'd still rather give them a few more games together. Give them until the next international break unless they're really terrible.

I'd be also interested to see how our back 4 fare without Gerrard in front of them.

The job he's doing at the moment is mostly pretty limited. It's certainly not beyond Henderson. Although he isn't as good in the tackle his greater mobility makes up for that a bit.
While Gerrard is getting assists he's worth persevering with. His set piece delivery has been pretty poor so far though.

Senderos is your typical very average defender. Skrtel is a level above.

The problem with Agger & Skrtel (imo) they need a leader beside them. Sahko is the same. I'm hopeful in time Lovern can be that guy.

If Skrtel is as bad as you say, We are screwed because the other two have done nothing to suggest they are a level above.

Even more boring than the debate about what "World Class" means.

What does average really mean?:pac:

Without seeing what our record following draws or following wins is, that stat doesn't tell us a whole lot.

You'll notice I said 'your typical average player' in response to a comment.

I have a feeling we are all going to be gutted we didn't try for Alex Song after today's game.

Super-Rush · 20-09-2014 03:15PM

Its hard for any CB pairing to defend well when there is zero protection in front of them.

martyos121 · 20-09-2014 03:17PM

Ibe scores for Derby!

Hollister11 · 20-09-2014 03:18PM

Jordan IBE scored for derby

ASOT · 20-09-2014 03:18PM

Ibe off the bench to score with his first touch for Derby

Harry Palmr · 20-09-2014 03:25PM

G'wan my son!

He's going to be massive.

U18s played and beat Bolton this morning

Team: Firth, Whelan, Hart, Brewitt, Roberts, Chirivella, Wilson, Phillips, Sinclair (goal), Canos (goal), Marsh (goal).

Chirivella's first start this season I think.

Feel bad for Sakho didnt deserve to be dropped imo.

PropJoe10 · 20-09-2014 03:32PM

Lucas and Gerrard in the same side. Lord save us.

martyos121 · 20-09-2014 03:34PM

Back to the diamond. Wise choice Rodgers. Hopefully it's Lucas providing cover for the back 4 and Gerrard playing in the Joe Allen role. If it's the other way around, can't see us getting more than a draw.

team as predicted yesterday by the bib theory.

Agent Coulson · 20-09-2014 03:37PM

Skrtel, Lucas and Gerrard that really scares the life out of me no pace and easily turned.

kfallon · 20-09-2014 03:37PM

Coutinho not even on the bench?

tok9 · 20-09-2014 03:38PM

Massive game for Lucas and Borini. Really need a win here just to kind of kick start the season again.

Which is funny cause I think what they do is essentially peak over the wall at training, see who is wearing the same bibs as Gerrard and that's the team.

Bib Theory indeed.

Is Skrtel that slow? I know he's not super fast but I don't think he's particularly slow.

klose · 20-09-2014 03:40PM

Fairly meh team, toure and sakho on the bench and neither will probably come in give a younger player a spot.
