He's a great keeper, at a new club, with half a new defence, that is either a 4 or a 3 or a 5, with an injured right back, and another injured right back, and a young right back who is really a centre-back, and a new centre-back who is half playing right back or centre-back, depending whether it's a 4 or a 3 ... and on the left an injured left-back, who has never played anyway, and on the left a scatty bearded Spaniard, a Barney Rubble dos without the discipline, a Sergio Leone spirit, but at least the strong holding midfield pairing does not get pared too easily - hey-nonny-no - quick uplifting ditty from The Copper Family of Rottingdean, anyone, highly recommended, very beautiful, but no team should be capable of humming a whole tune in the time it takes our midfield to pick up men. (I know what I said.) And no midfield should be cleaved down the middle as often as Granny Smith, leaving it exposed like little pips in their cavity of flesh. At least we have an ace forward line, and we do, allowing our keeper to make all the mistakes he wants knowing that we will thwart the oppo regardless. Luckily, though, he decides to go round saving shots, penalties, free-kicks, everything he can, show-off, and then start launching dangerous balls forward resulting in a GOAL!!! for Liverpool, yeah!!!
He is the main reason we have the points we do this season, and when we get a settled, or more importantly an organised defence, we could be frighteningly frigid there. I love us, and I can't bear the thought, so what kind of perverted opposition might dare attempt to fluff our back line? Hideous to contemplate such deviants.
We have strong characters defensively now, Mignolet, Toure, Sakho. Skirtl in the middle has been impressive, and I'm sure Agger will be keen to get in and show his quality too.
Just wanted to say that Simon is very good.
