wotever tactics KD chose he believed the players able to deliver to their utmost abilities... the reason he chose skrtel bcos skrtel is more experienced compare to flanagan... KD always back/support his players and protect them against the media onslaught despite their deficiencies ie carroll and carra... this is man-management.
1 player performed below par was adam.. he should control the midfield and sprayed passes to henderson, downing, suarez or carroll but he made 2 unfortunate tackles and red carded.
eventho wit 9 men, REDS still attacked which were good signs
