Yes, definitely need quicker central defenders. Our present pairing is adequate at marking but far too slow to act and intercept potential threats, especially at set pieces hence the big problem at set peices with zonal marking.

Hyppia is a good stopper but too slow. Carra gives 110% every time but both of these guys are a tad too slow and can't distribute the ball well enough. I hate to say this but see how well Rio Ferdinand intercepts and make good passes in the recent England internationals. This is one classy defender who also happens to be quick. We probably don't the money to buy a classy defender so we need to keep Hamann to cover our fragile defenders.

Like i said, good player but i'd rather the money gone to a position we need more deperately.

Had a bad game today.

Not in Babbel's class i'm affraid.

well insulting apart, i think hes ok, he must have put a few good boots in to get sent off.!

Id be more concered about Hypia, hes very slow, although good with his timing, but he aint gonna go the distance.

Like they say...if you cant get the ball, take the player!

hee hee

Waste of 2m was he

There is only 1 person guilty of wasting money over the last 5 years and we all know who he was.

Look at diao today in hopefully his last ever game in a Liverpool shirt again proved what a waster he is plus diouf together cost 15m.

As for Josemi he put in a few great crosses in the 1st half and is better than finnan or Carragher at right back.

Have you ever asked yourself why we desperately need players in other positions and at the moment have a pretty poor squad in spite of your hero spending over 100m

Too bad Josemi couldn't keep a cool head on his shoulders. Every player has a bad day, this was one for Josemi.

I don't see why Stu would single out Josemi as not the required standard when there are several other players he could single out who are far worse than Josemi

Daio, Biscan, Smicer, Rise, Mellor, Dudek and possibly Warnock (but time wil ltell on this player) are not up to the standard required at this level IMO.

Biscan scored, what more could you want.

Plus the price of my tickets have rocketed in the space of 45 mins. At HT I was doubting the cheque would be in the post, at the end I could have named my price
