We Must Be Solid At The Back Says Skrtel

Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel said his team's ability to defend across the park could be the difference for the title aspirants this term.


Brendan Rodgers' men shipped a half-century of goals in their 2013-14 season, one in which they fell agonisingly short of claiming their first-ever Premier League crown.

Four of those goals came via Skrtel as he broke the record for most own goals in a season, although the Slovakian stopper also scored seven up the right end of the pitch too.

Skrtel said if Rodgers' side gelled together defensively as an entire unit, it would ease the pressure on the last line.

"Obviously it hurt but it's not only about the back four, it's about the team and defending as a group," Skrtel said.

"Because we conceded 50 goals, some people are blaming the back four, but it isn't just about the back line, it is about defending as a team and that's the big thing that we need to improve.

"If we do that we will stop people from talking about the defence.
