Centre half admitted his standards dropped last season, but his defensive statistics are better than ever at Anfield and a new contract should now be discussed
Minor pet peeve (very minor), but centre backs are not ‘centre-halves’! A centre-half (in the old 235 formations from 100 years ago) was a midfielder while what we would now call ‘centre-backs’ were full-backs as they were, ya know, fully back
I remember in Sunday league as a young teen being asked to play out of position as a centre half, and I played the match as a defensive midfielder. I remember a couple years later looking back and wondering what the hell happened, was I stupid and misunderstood the manager’s request, and nobody bothered to correct me?

My crusade will not end until we stop using it
