Agger responds to fan criticism
LIVERPOOL FC defender Daniel Agger has taken to Twitter and responded to criticism of his latest sub-par performance in a red shirt.
The Reds suffered a shock 2-0 league defeat at Anfield last night at the hands of unfancied West Brom, despite dominating the match for 80 minutes.
It was in those final 10 minutes however, that the most important stat in a football match was recorded, as poor defending from the Reds resulted in the Baggies notching twice with seeming ease.
Daniel Agger in particular seemed at fault for both goals; firstly with the man his was assigned to mark during a corner, Gareth McAuley, breaking the deadlock with a virtually free header, before Romelu Lukaku strolled past him to score the second on a counter-attack.
To be fair, Liverpool’s Danish centre-back has been quick to acknowledge his part in the defeat, posting on Twitter this morning:
So, is it fair play to Agger for facing the criticism he’s received, and should more footballers own up publically to having the proverbial ‘mare?

Wish Shelvey would do the same but he thinks he is better than he is. Championship player at best.
February 12th, 2013
With Rodgers a Championship manager at best, and Colin Pascoe and Mike Marsh, Championship level assistant and coach.
Rodgers OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!.
February 12th, 2013
Championship manager ? I dont even think he is that
He was a championship manager at Reading and they sacked him after 5 months !!!
February 12th, 2013
Would u stop its his first season and we were missing sturrige give him time ynwa
February 12th, 2013
awwww , its his first season … So its ok to be total sh!t in your first season ? kop on lad . Rodgers is out of his depth
February 12th, 2013
Time ?? how much more fkin time do u want ? We were rubbish after 10 games and people said give it 3 months
We were rubbish after 3 months and people said give it til xmas . We are still rubbish and the season is nearly over
If Rodgers needs time , he should go back to a small championship club with low expectations … THIS IS LFC
February 12th, 2013
It’s 4 years (i repeat, 4 years) that i ear “give him time”…i think that 4 years are more than enough…we need a manager who has proven to be a top manager, Benitez is one of those few in the world, he lives in Liverpool and he loves Liverpool, plus nobody knows our club, academy better than him, just bring him home…please…sooner as possible or we will see our few best players leave in one year…
February 12th, 2013
And in them 4 years you havent give a manager more than 5 minutes to do anything with the team rome wasnt built in a day it took fergie 4 YEARS to wim his first title
February 12th, 2013
Actually it’s simply 4 years that i don’t see improvements, simple as that. Probably, after 4 years you’re happy like Gerrard and others who wanted Benitez out, in this past 4 years we’ve won soo much…wow. . .
February 13th, 2013
Benitez is not the answer, the guy already had 6 years, move on for God’s sake man. The rumour i’m hearing from another site is that Ancelotti has already been lined up in the summer, i would welcome that appointment.
February 13th, 2013
Well, surely better than Rodgers, Martinez or Woy but still think that Benitez is the one with best credentials to lead liverpool f.c. as he had proven in the past
February 12th, 2013
Steyg???
why don’t you jog on you bellend!
February 12th, 2013
why ? he is correct
February 12th, 2013
Its sad as a lfc supporter to say we are fast becoming a mid table club we cant even beat one team in the top half the players are makin us have mix emotions every week wth inconsistant perfomances bt still ynwa
February 12th, 2013
Brendan Roger = championship manager
Liverpool = championship performance
Brendan Roger out now!!!
February 12th, 2013
fair play to agger , top player , top bloke
i just wish rodgers would own up to his many errors rather than making up excuses or blaming the players
February 12th, 2013
The problem is that be the manager in a top club is not like be a manager in a small one, look at the story of Luigi Del Neri on wiki for an idea…in a top club you need a manager with personality and leadership…Rodgers simply doesn’t have those…this is not his fault, he’s just like he’s and is not enough to lead a big club. We need a manager like Benitez…simple, that’s where we are poor now, Rodgers is a good guy, i really like him but now we need a leader in tactics and in personality, we need someone who knows how to face (tactically and in speaking) other teams and managers…we don’t need a manager who lose tactically with ferguson and also loses in personality after the game shaking his hands and smiling like (simply cause he is.) an underdog. We need Rafa Benitez.
February 12th, 2013
Your spot on , well said
February 12th, 2013
Seriously rafa so we can do s* again
February 13th, 2013
What kind of a moron are you ? Rafa won Champions league , FA cup , challenged for league most years and did well every year in champions league
All that with a budget way less than Utd or Chelsea
Grow up fool
February 13th, 2013
Rafa is not the answer, stop living in the past he’s not doing a good job at Chelsea and failed at Inter.
February 13th, 2013
It’s not “living in the past”…it’s just be realistic…meh…
February 13th, 2013
Your right Rory
February 12th, 2013
All talking sh* on hear get rid of the manager. for wot setting the team up so we dominate every game bar 3 this season he has done everything right how bout gettin rid of the players that have cost us this season pepe being the main culperate he cant lace his boots up and do it for them the fans will ruin this team far sooner than any manager anfield has become lifeless of late. were supposed to be supporters dont see much of that here
February 12th, 2013
Sorry for lack of full stops between sentences. i was fumin
February 13th, 2013
LOL LOL LOL
‘ dominated every game bar 3 ‘ ??? LOL
Anyway its results that matter . Havnt u kopped that yet ?
And real fans want whats best for LFC , that doesn’t include supporting a clueless manager . Only Mancs n Evertonians want Rodgers to stay cos they r laughing at us this season
February 13th, 2013
Until now the club is ruined by fans like you who wants for our team managers like woy or rodgers…be serious please, compare benitez with rodgers and see what you got…
February 13th, 2013
yes , its the apathy and acceptance of low standards from ‘fans’ like gaz that is ruining this once great club
February 13th, 2013
Oh, forgot…we were able to dominate only fulham and wigan…but we were dominated by everybody else including wba, stoke, we were lucky in many games where we were dominated like with arsenal, manu…so please, be realistic
