Summer priority is on another CB

I haven't been on the anti-Skrtel bandwagon, but after this game, count me in. He just hasn't played the same as last year and looks like he hasn't adjusted to the system. He sits back too much instead of attacking or trying to keep the high line, or when he does attack, it seems like he always gets beat. We do have Coates, Wisdom, and Kelly to play CB when he gets healthy, but I'd be surprised if we still didn't go out and get somebody serviceable to play there during the summer window.

Along with CB, it's pretty apparent we need another CDM, but I haven't been hating on Allen all season either. Today was just all too evident that we need another player with the "destroyer" mentality. Hell I feel like they don't even have to be that great, but somebody that you could pair with a Allen or Henderson to take some of the pressure off them while giving Lucas a break. Finally, I'd still be in for looking for a LB if they don't think Robinson can handle the role or a an AM *cough*Eriksen*cough* or versatile Winger if we get rid of Downing, but I'd be okay with keeping him. He's proved serviceable even if he maybe shouldn't be starting regularly.
