When he comes back, he will get injured again because of this injury to his ribs. He will start to lose his match fitness and that is when the niggles pop up. Out for awhile, come back and boom there goes a hammy/knee/ankle, out for a while, come back..... I hope this isn't the case but with how injury prone he is you can see it coming. Put some adamantium in the boy!
!!!!!! Really rough morning, pre-season is kicking my ass at the moment. By the way, another tournament this weekend and even with the game starting at 7:45AM I still won't be able to catch any of it due to having two teams in it and starting early. Thus, a Liverpool win! Also, Skrtel for me is pants and I never feel comfortable with him in there, my opinion obviously but I think Coates will be way better, still a bit raw and brash but he will come good.
I'm assuming that no-one here is giving any consideration to playing Danny Wilson at LCB? Being a left footed player, he'll be naturally more comfortable than Skrtel there. In my mind the only mark against him is a lack of experience, having played at Left Back rather than CB for us. Is no-one going to suggest him?
