Agree!
Talking about tough defenders: why not give Kyrgiakos a fair chance? He did some nice appearances a few games on a row last season (while Skrtel was injured - hit by Carra for the 1:st time!).
Mabye we´ll need a better option, but I think he´s the best available for us at the moment. Anyway: Without a doubt he´s the best header in the team - with him on the pitch the crosses that all the other teams are throwing at us into our penalty area might perhaps be met by a 'red head', and not the opposite, which most oftenly is a fact at the moment.
Also I think it´s time we realize that Glen J isn´t a crap defender. He´s not a defender at all!!! Until we find (= can afford) a decent right winger, let´s put him there and let Kelly take charge of the right full back duties. If Kelly can get some support from a decent centre back like Agger or Kyrgiakos I think it might work. Poor Glen isn´t only skinned all the time, he has Carra as backup on his side. Poor fella!
Sometimes it feels we would actually have a better defence playing 3-5-2, without a right back at all! Then the holding midfielders would know we have a big hole on the right side, and that they need to fill it up. Now they do have a player out there, but he gets skinned EVERY SINGLE TIME! Confusing!
