LIVERPOOL’S DANIEL AGGER has voiced his frustration at failing to nail down a regular starting place under Brendan Rodgers this season.
While Rodgers’ men challenged for the Premier League title, Agger was often overlooked for a starting spot in favour of Mamadou Sakho and Martin Skrtel, having also suffered with injuries.
With the Denmark international having previously stated his intention to ignore speculation linking him with a move to Barcelona, Agger revealed his frustration, stating Rodgers did not feel he was “good enough”.
He stopped short of confirming any plans to leave Anfield but warned he would not be content to be a substitute next season.
Asked about being benched for the crucial late fixtures against Chelsea and Manchester City, he told Ekstra Bladet: “It definitely wasn’t great. But I don’t make the decisions. I think it is because the manager doesn’t think that I’m good enough.
“(My future at Liverpool is) up to the manager. I can’t go and put myself on the team sheet. I’m no-one’s third choice.”
Agger moved to Liverpool in 2006 from Brondby and has made 232 appearances during his time with the club — winning the FA Cup and the League Cup.
Should definitely be picked over Skrtel.
He can score goals just as well, and he can actual do the job he’s primarily meant to do – defend.
Well, prove himself and show he deserves his place, the way it used to be….
Think he has proved himself,a far far better defender than Skrtel or Sahko,
Skittles was the shunned man at the start of last season, until injuries gave him his chance & he took it.
If Dagger would just hit the weights & get string as fook, I’d have him over the lumbering Sakho.
I think he is gone. Always struggles with the physical players and is not great in the air. Its a pity as he is easily the most comfortable player with the ball at his feet and is well able to pop up with vital goals. Glen Johnson can start packing his bags as well!
Ah if it isn’t James ‘sing when your winning Quinn , how have you been , meltdown over ..
Twenty, in fairness, you stuck around all season, but like christmas, once a year… 95% of ‘man u’ fans here, showed up after the Palace game only…… Liverpools failure was Man U’s success this year… Like tables turned…….meltdown on an apocalyptic scale….
U are a sad case, hardly worth responding to. I have better things to be doing on my holidays than chattin with a kn#b like u.
First time I ever heard losing one game to Chelsea as a meltdown. Went all out to hammer Palace, only chance they had of winning the title was on goal difference, City were always going to beat Villa and West Ham at home.
The only team in meltdown is down the road at Old Toilet!
Well said
I love these comments. A fan’s worth is ostensibly gauged by the volume of his/her’s contributions on The Score – the benchmark of so many things in life. Some people have fat too much time on their hands.
Chatting ??? Who said anything about chatting !!! How about just supporting your team win , lose or draw like a real pool fan (graham kavanagh is a good example) you should take a leaf out if his book .
Graham Utd fans took stick all season on every thread from yourself and other fans. Now the shoe is on the other foot you need to take it and grow a pair !
Paulie, you have seen me here all season, never shied away either. I am not disputing what you say either, but many man u fans did hide all season. Also, man u fans have been dishing it out for donkey years now, and one really bad season and you expect compassion? Not in footie world….
Who said anything about compassion Graham , if your going to give it you have to be able to take it..and that apply’s to all
Supporting my team?? I went over to see pool play 5 times this season. I think that’s more than what u do, talking sh!te here.
You will be calling yourself ‘Twenty’ for a long time, living in the past! Will I start calling myself ’5 times’?? Sad case.
I read this story 3 days ago on goal, get with d times man!
So, Paulie, are you saying, when you get stick I should not respond back? Are you moving the posts on how to act here? I give as good as I get, you know that by now, and I am also here when we lose, as you may know from the terrible year we had the previous season….. If you do not like what I say, that is you not being able to take it….. contradicting your own comments…..
