#4 Jurgen Klopp was right to ship Martin Skrtel
Jurgen Klopp’s decision to sell Martin Skrtel in the recently concluded transfer window might not have gone too well with the segment of club’s fans who believed he was not right in shipping off a player who had served the club even in their worst times.
However, if his performance in the game was any indication, he is a defensive liability, especially with his tendency to commit fouls in critical areas on the pitch and putting his team at the danger of conceding a goal.
The Slovakian captain was sent off in the game for a second yellow card following a stamp on Harry Kane and put his side under immense defensive pressure and would need to tidy up his game for the good of his team.
Touted to be the leader of the side, despite the presence of stalwarts like Marek Hamsik, Skrtel needs to lead by example in the rest of the games to come.
