Daniel Agger

[Cleo]

As a Dane I'm really embarrassed about having to ask this question but...
Where is Daniel Agger??
I've been away on holiday for the last three weeks so I haven't been able to follow our preseason closely but I still seem to have spotted that he hasn't taken part in any of the friendlies?!?!

[kurtangle01]

i've been thinking the same thing myself.

injured, again!?

or simply not rated as highly as first thought?

[TheStig]

When others have asked this question (on KT) the response has always been that he's injured. We haven't been told anything about it though.

[anfieldanfield]

Injured.

[Cleo]

Injured.

Thanks for the replies...
He took part in the U21 European Championships and now I seem to remember something about him not being fully fit but still making himself avaliable for selection at LFC at the end of the season because he wanted to play and show his worth
It's been discussed a lot of times but it's gonna be really interesting to see how Rafa's going to use Carragher, Hyypia, Paletta and Agger this season

with tonights defensive display under our belts i'm sure rafa has a lot to tink about in regards to the defence!

According to Liverpool.no, Agger has been injured, but is now back in training. Before today's game, they even suggested he might get a few minutes on the pitch.

Yeah - it looks that way

By the way - regarding your first post and the rating of him...
Perhaps he's fallen down the pecking order but that can only be due to all his injuries.
Having seen him in the Danish league and on our national team I still really pleased that we got him and I have all the confidence in the world that he'll come good - he's got the right attitude, is humble and wants to win!!!

And by the way - I haven't seen Paletta play one minute of football yet but the positive reviews of his start has actually made the summer for me.
First Momo, then Gonzalez and now him - hopefully we're back on track in regards to finding young talent

i rate agger highly, the little i've seen of him, and palleta has looked equally as good when i've seen him.

Is he fast? - that gift would bring a whole new dimension to our defense...

[Jan-Erik]

Paletta has looked good, but has done a couple of bad mistakes. Agger has also done good, and that's been in league games. Looking forward to see Paletta in the PL.

Paletta is pretty fast. And a great tackler.

no he's not fast. he reminds me of sami. takes up good positions and reads the game well.

I knew about the last thing - heard that he almost broke a Crewe player in two with a tackle during the friendly.
I really hope he gets to play against Robben - that little cheat deserves to get hurt after all his theatrical diving!!!

[Jan-Erik]

From what I've seen, he looks like he's got ok pace. I wouldnt say his pace is one of his better attributes, but he's not slow. Or?
