Daniel Agger

[Stefan]

Maybe we should sell our crap players before we start talking about offloading one of our most gifted (when fit...) players.

[Unrighteous]

It's about time Wilson gets some games... He's already got decent equipment.

[ReDeus]

It was due to him going off that we looked lost in defence in the 2nd half. We wouldn't have been 2-1 down had Agger started the 2nd half. Way better than Skrtel and the Greek. Too injury prone though.

[Royal Family]

I'd certainly like to see Danny Wilson get a chance - ahead of the lumbering Greek, and possibly besides Carra once he's back (which can't come soon enough).

 

It's no use saying Agger is our best defender 'when fit'. He just cannot be relied upon to be fit (or feel up to it) for long enough. That still means you have to have another centre-back of the same (or better) quality to be able to interchange with him.

 

If we pay him £70k per week and he';s only fit for half the games, we're effectively paying him £140k per week. I am sure that is how the Americans will see the equation.

[TheHitman]

I'm a bit confused here if he was ill he may have been ill before the game and decided to give his all for the team. Seems a bit of a shithouse thing to start a thread about a player being ill unless you are aware of something that we dont know.

[Guest PurpleNose]

Quality player and our best CB when fit, couldn't give a fuck if you disagree.

 

Agreed. Makes his injury problems so fucking infuriating.

[J-V]

Fuck Skrtel off first, he wouldn't be a big problem if his replacements weren't shite.

This. I'd rather give Wilson, Ayala a chance then see Skrtel play again.

He's probably aware of his Liverpool career to date.

 

120 starts in 5 years. Impressive.

[Red Phoenix]

Frustrating, if he'd have stayed on we'd have had a lot more chance of winning, and am convinced we wouldn't have conceded two goals like that.

 

Would be glad if Kenny's first words to Henry were "How much cash ya got?"

[Ranxerox]

Sell him or loan him out if a taker can be found. If not we'll just have to make the best of it until his contract expires

[Eljeficito]

Paddy you just hate Agger. No way is he an average defender. He's been unlucky with injuries but when fit is one of our 3-4 players who genuinely are good enough. Theres at least 15 id get rid of before Daniel Agger. I know your arguement will now be "hes never fit" etc but we have a starting eleven who are constantly fit, 8 of them being consistantly fit and shit

[Unrighteous]

Ha! I mean EXPERIENCE. I guess I've been playing too much Fallout this weekend.

Considering he mentions illness in his sentence, it seems a valid point. It always baffles me when people slate players for their injuries and aim their venom at the player.

 

What are we implying is he feigning injury. I can understand frustration but this seems churlish at the least. Anyway YNWA.

[rondeco]

Some complete fucking spazzbombs here.

I dont hate him at all, and in 2006/2007 I thought he was amazing and we had a future captain on our hands, but since then on the rare occasion he's fit I've not been impressed, I think all our current defenders are been shown up to the level there at since Sami and Mascherano left and Carragher was injured.

[Il Fenomeno]

Dalglish on Agger: "Hasn't been well and hasn't eaten much for last couple of days. For him to get through Wednesday game was fantastic."

[Mbrownrigg]

Thought he had a great first half today.

 

skrtel and Kyriagkos started the 2nd half 20 yards deeper than we played all first hal.

 

Centre back has to be our priority.

 

When Lucas is challengin the first ball every time something ain't right

I'm not saying he's feigning injury. I'm just saying he's unreliable.

Exactly the same problems abound in the defence now as with Carragher in the team. Looking to the future, Carragher isn't the way forward either.

 

Skrtel's completely imploded as a player after the dominating performances of a couple of seasons ago. The defence was transformed after half-time. Agger is the only one of the four centre-backs worth persevering with in the long-term: though if a decent offer comes in I wouldn't be surprised if we're minded to take it. Certainly need to ship Sotorios and Skrtel out and bring in two new centre-backs to replace them: centre back and left back slots have to be the priority.

Everyone in this thread just need to calm down.

 

He obviously was ill going by what Kenny was saying. It must have been bad for him to have to go off at half time.

[Trucker Paddy]

Agger was in the press recently saying he expects to be in the team, and while I agree every player should believe they should be first choice, how can we build a defence with a player who is out for 50% of our games

[Johnni]

Seems a bit of a shithouse thing to start a thread about a player being ill unless you are aware of something that we dont know.

 

Fuckign too right. Those having a go will know jack about this illness i can safely say.

[The Golden Eel]

I've been saying this for ages. He's not that good plus he's never fit for a sustained period. His reputation was built on one good season about 4 years and I honestly think he's our most over-rated player by fans. It's a no-brainer to cash in this guy while he's still worth something IMO.

[Evil_Ways]

Anyone know what his illness actually was ?

I doubt he'd be taken off if he actually could continue...

 

As for Agger as a footballer, he is our best central defender, and one of few that actually is good enough, too bad he's missing so many games though.

[billypilgrimnz]

I definitely think we should jack in one of our few remaining decent passers of the ball and pick up yet another one-dimensional clogger. That has certainly worked well for us in the past.
