KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Agger Blasts Roy

it just sucks the life out of me, we got quality like agger, babel and aquilani never given enough time to prove themselves

Well, that makes him better than 90% of the squad then, doesn't it? Despite all these attributes he can't get a game. He's arguably our best center back, but he's being played as a reserve left back. He likes to get on with the game, and that's a good thing too, so it's hardly surprising he's upset.

Having said that he should take it up with the manager long before he takes it up with the press; didn't he learn from the mistakes Babel made?

Shouldn't be talking about it in the media whatever his opinion is he should be talking to the manager about it. Yes he is one of our best CD's and should be getting more game time but if you're not the same page as everyone it makes it very difficult to get into the side. Maybe he should try what the manager has been telling him!!

Totally agree, Good footballer, Not great tho and I hate players who whine whenever they're dropped. If he doesnt like it then he should toughten up and impress the manager.

To be honest I think that Agger's frustration is that he see's the shambolic defending in central defence, which is why we bought him, yet he only gets a run as fullback - if the lad doesn't start as CB against Sunderland then Roy needs to go to 'Specsavers'!!

Agger needs to be our first choice centre back - a bit of pace, strong, good with the ball. Skrtel and Carra are far too similar.

I seem to remember Agger coming out in the press a couple of years ago saying he was unhappy - I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

I dont think any Liverpool fan in there right mind could be happy playing the least attractive football in the Premier league.

Still, hopefully its not the way Roy continues to have us playing once he has settled into the job properly. The way we are playing at the moment is similar to the way we played at times under GH. Under Rafa we pressed high up the pitch but at the moment we seem happy to let the opposition have all of the ball, retreat to our own half and hope to snatch a goal, regardless whether the opposition is West Brom, Birmingham etc.

Its very very worrying as im sure we would all love to be proud of the kind of football Liverpool play again.

But its early days for Roy and hopefully he will get us playing in a positive manner eventually.

I agree with Agger 100%, we need the centre back who can play a pass, bring the ball out of defence and have a go now and again. But what i don't agree with is him speaking to the press about this issue. As we have been saying for the last 3 years, the Liverpool way is not to make in house squabbles public. We have had enough of the owners doing it and previous Managers (Benitez) doing it, and now players. Agger aint the first and wont be the last unless everything fits into plan and we go on a winning run pleasing everyone.

Basically should just keep his mouth shut, wait for the chance and then show Roy what he is missing, and what dimension our team is missing.

bad move on his part talking to the press. making a rod for his own back he,ll be lucky to be on bench now
