he looked okay for a bit at Southampton when he sat deep and had Schneiderlin and Wanyama protecting him..

That wasn't him playing well, so much as having his deficiencies covered up... big difference IMO.. [..]

He has the physical and technical skills to play in a high line, but ZERO defensive instincts...

Even with those things, which I agree as well with these statements, he looked good enough that we dropped £20-25m on him. Just didn't work out, which is a same because I do like him as a person.

quote:
When have we played him out of position???

He's always played LCB and we tried to play him for the longest time as RCB, which might not seem like a big deal but switch from playing right/left defensive end to the other and that would equate to about the same type of transition.

I don't wish the guy any ill will, but I just don't want him playing for us anymore.. Same with Migs..

Didn't think you did, I just had a rant to get off my chest. But ultimately I concur and believe it's time for both Migs & Dejan to move on to green pastures.

Fair enough... but I still want to see the back of him at LFC... good luck wherever he lands..

He's always played LCB

He's sparingly played on the right for us... usually due to injury.. ironically, Ive always though he's looked better at RCB..

he is right footed though, so much easier to settle in on the right.. not like asking a lefty

Skrtel was the RCB when he was bought...

edit: the only time I really recall him playing at RCB is with Sakho... probably why he looked better.. and I'll give you our LB options didnt give him any help when he played on the left..
