Glenn, in fairness Kuyt was one of our better players last night. Hell even COTR praised Kuyt last night. Kuyt and Mascherano were the only ones who put in a decent performance IMHO.
I really feel sorry for Insua. I still believe he's a good player and still potentially could be very good player for us. I'm sure if anyone is bothered you'd find posts from moi questioning his positioning and decision when defending. That was regarding the reserves I was commenting on ffs, nearly 3 years ago. True story
He certainly looks like he's needs a break but with Dossena gone and Aurelio made of glass, he had to play far more games than he and probably Rafa expected.
I really cannot stand the Agger wank fest among a lot of L'pool supporters. Sickos
It's like he can do no wrong. I believe many are so blinded by his qualities on the ball that they deny any questioning of his poor defending. I haven't really rated Agger defensively for a long time frankly. Not strong enough. Not aggressive enough. Goes into challenges half hearted a lot. He was very poor last night defensively as well. No doubt Insua will get the full blame.
Carra was going fully into blocking the shot, there was no much he could do and he certainly wasn't trying to block it with his hands. Funny how Reds pounce on any mistake he makes. The amount of insults he has been getting this season is pathetic. He's coming to the back end of his career fair enough and was very poor early on in the season but insulting a guy who has given his all for us is for near a decade is uncalled for, Sami had fairly similar abuse a few years ago as well.
Regarding the match... like I said last night. I'm still confident we'll progress. I know I would have settled for a 2-1 loss before KO let alone after the sending off.
