“Skrtel knows Rooney quite well and he can stop him all the time,” said Slovakian coach Vladimir Weiss. “We believe he can do it again on Saturday and avoid any danger. You know Skrtel is a very tough player and knows how to handle Rooney, he is a good defender.”
Rob Smyth‘s livetext on The Guardian:
29 min Lampard’s sharp volley, from 12 yards on the right of the box, is bundled away by Senecky. It came after Skrtel, who is playing like a complete clown, miscontrolled Lennon’s cross.
33 min Another hideous piece of play from Skrtel, missing a sliding challenge completely by the touchline.
38 min Lampard, on the stretch, does well to find Lennon on the right, and then Skrtel actually runs away from him. Seriously. I’ve seen people who’ve been on the pop for 18 hours play better than Skrtel here.
Half time: England 1-0 Slovakia Decent stuff for the most part. Gerrard and Rooney were excellent, particularly in tandem with each other, while Martin Skrtel gave one of the most gloriously inept performances I’ve seen in a long time. See you in 15 minutes.
Looks like Skrtel was too busy having a mare to worry about ‘handling’ Wayne Rooney. Seven goals in four games whilst representing his country now and I look forward to reading love-fest over him in the press tomorrow.

“Skrtel is the future of liverpool” i was once told by a dipper lover
off topic…
Who gives a shite UNITED > England
N0bs
p.s …..Okay, I watched it…Rooney was by far the man of the match, the opposition were worse than dippers reserves tho.
mmm. slovakia played with high line, whilst liverpool (and skrtel) defend deep…
Hahahaha….
….Skrtel….
….Hahaha…..
Skrtel is the new Vidic? Don’t you people know? Hahah!
Funny how you guys are making fun of the way Sketel performs for Slovakia. Pssst, I’ll let you in on something. Take a look at how Vidic performs for Serbia. Yeah, thought so. I wish he was as impressive for us as he is for United. Ivanovic is a much better player than Vidic when playing for Serbia.
21 goals now in 49 appearances. Easy to forget he’s still only 23 years old. When someone finally beats Sir Bobby’s goalscoring record, i pray to God its Waz who does it.
Scott – “and I love forward to reading love-fest over him in the press tomorrow.” I know you mean “look” not love but absolutely bang on. Lets just see how their attitude to Wayne changes from this last week. Fickle cunts.
Instead of praising him the fucking media is already saying that his performance is ‘overshadowed’ by his row with SAF before the Fulham game. Typical.

Yes Androo there has been a lot of speculation.Let me put it like this.If i was Fergie and had heard Rooney say the things he said before the 4-1 defeat,and then see him turn in a poor performance i would have done the same.I have already said that Fabio does seem to have a more calm influence on him.In that resoect,Fergie should take some notes.I wonder though why they make such a big deal.Two years ago Fergie dropped Neville from the Fulham game because he got into trouble away at Lille.I didn’t see Mr Lawrenson say anything then.
It’s still out of subject costas. Rooney had another excellent performance at international level and that is what the media should be concerned about not what happened two weeks ago. THAT’S IT!!
Wayne is more in the press for his wrong doings than for his master strokes. =(
I agree Androo.There is a question mark behind an article such as this but Lawrenson would never say it flat out.They are feeling that SAF has lost his touch when it comes to young players and their discipline.Today i wondered myself.Does Fabio know his buttons better than SAF?
The media is full of shit and a rumour mongers especially when MU and Sir Alex are concerned. The FA is another culprit favouring other clubs when red cards were overruled but not for MU players. Why the double standard
because they are the culprits who do not stick to the rules.
Seemed to do OK at Old Toilet against Rooney? Maybe we should talk about Vidic / Torres? I mean to get sent off twice for being shite against Liverpool is a record surely?
fuck off you scose dickhead, how many times has gerrard gone missin against us, to be fair to vida torres was down injured only 30 sconds before, prob never fort he would race thru like he did.
Constantly getting this “skrtel is our vidic” shit off a dipper mate of mine. No. He’s. Not. They’re both centre halves. They’re both eastern European. End of.
On the other issue,Lawrenson is full of shit,anyone remember before xmas when he came out on the radio saying how gerrard told him robbie keane was gonna leave? Changed his story as soon as anyone from the club questioned him on it. Tosser
