I think he will want a more physical, aerially dominant centre half to play with either of them and I think he would be right. Both are a little lightweight but with a dominant figure would be better.
While that wouldn't surprise me I'm still not sure that Rodgers is keen to get a central defender who will automatically go in ahead of Danny or Martin.
To me Skrtel has looked vulnerable or sloppy at times but on the whole I hadn't considered him poor.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Rogers continuing his trend of dropping a regular senior player and giving them a dressing down in public every few months.
It is an intelligent piece of man management that keeps the players giving as close to 100% as possible.
When I look at the squad at the moment I see a number of experienced pros;
Downing, Enrique, Skrtel, Reina who can't be sure that they will keep their place in the team past the summer despite the fact that they may or may not be playing well.
We also have a larger cluster of younger players where not a single one has properly nailed a place in the team, all are close, some very but none 'secure', all desperately hungry, scrapping to make it, raising their collective level.
The only players who I see as fully secure are Agger, Johnson, Gerrard, Lucas and Suarez and not only are they our best players but they are also absolute winners and self driven men. Even when Gerrard wasn't at his best Rogers didn't drop him, instead he trusted in Steven to drag himself back into form.
For the likes of Downing, Enrique and Henderson he lit a fire under them, showed them where the door was and let them know in no uncertain terms that they would be marching out there, that he already intended to get rid of them, he had made his mind up. And we know how that story is going now, all in great form, but still on their toes.
I can see Martin reacting in a similar way, I can see him enjoying a surge back to form in the last 10 games of the season and becoming a rock again. I can't help getting the feeling that Martin needs this kind of treatment to shake him up and get the most out of him. Unlike Agger who I feel due to his personality will gee himself up and get back to his best.
