I know what you mean but you don't see 2 left footed CB playing together, do you? Left footers are quite different, they are usually very skilful on their left foot and use their right foot to basically support themselves, while right footers can use both feet. In any case, I would think BR must have tried that in training, Skrtel was not supposed to be in his plan.
That's just not true. Left-handed and left-footed people are much more likely to be ambidextrous. The reason why you don't see it often is that there are fewer left-footed centrebacks, so if one is playing, he usually slots in on the left. There's nothing wrong with Agger's right foot; he cuts in on it all the time. I haven't seen much of Sakho's right foot, but I believe he scored on it in that France game when he got a brace (though I could be mistaken). I'm glad Skyrtel's hit form again, I really am, but he's a very patchy player, and he makes a lot of mistakes. I think he's going to get in trouble with all the shirt pulling he does, I think he's going to have moments of madness, and I think he's going to have his confidence shaken again.

That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

KarlMatchette tweeted "LFC have kept six clean sheets this season, Agger has featured in five, but hasn't put a run of more than 3 appearances in a row yet". Not sure what he needs to do in order to stake his claim for starting over Skrtel, but it is getting ridiculous. He has the clean sheets, and Skyrtel has the own goals.

I think Sakho can do that job better, and I still don't buy the two-letfties can't play together stuff.

He's a red card and a peno waiting to happen. I can't believe he's gotten away with it so far, now I think refs will be watching him because its been so obvious.

It's been so obvious because sky and bt sport are highlighting it, but he's always done it it's nothing new.

Yeah agree, but now that it is being highlighted I would expect the refs to be told to do something about it.

Haven't seen Agger playing too much with his right foot and Sakho even less, i might be mistaken. I am also sure that BR has tried to play Agger and Sakho in training as Skrtel was not in his plans anyway, it probably didn't work.

Skyrtel hit a vein of form, so Br hasn't dropped him, due to the meritocracy that he has in place. I think Skyrtel deserves to be dropped though.

If we were in the CL this wouldn't be a problem as we would have enough games to be able to rest players.
