I'm not sure Neal's into the needle

Would be an interesting watch though. Lots of slow, repetitive football followed by a lie down at half time. George would have to play an appropriate soundtrack of the Velvets, Spaceman 3 and maybe some Brian Eno...

They'd all be trying to 'kick it'

Wish him all the best in his retirement, a sad ending to his career. Physically he gave everything to the club and then some.

Finished player in grudge against manager who dropped him shocker. Who here in March 2014 would've given a shiny one if Rodgers had upset our 4th choice centre half while we swept teams aside and continued the most exciting of title charges?

I thought by now we could take comments like those with a pinch of salt. For all those clambering to say "oh yeah that confirms what we all knew about Rodgers" i'm sure you either didn't notice or just dismissed all of the comments from Luis Suarez about him.

An ego the size of the hole in our defence, har fucking har, Rodgers deserves far more respect on here than he gets. I bet all of you were queing up to wax lyrical about having the best fans in the world after the 4-3 over Dortmund. Load of bollocks that's been exposed time and time again over recent years culminating in the shite that was thrown at Rodgers towards the end of his tenure.

I rated Danny Agger and he seems a top red, albeit another "one of us" or "legend" that hasn't got a trophy to his name.

This is one of the greatest defenders goals I've ever seen:

I was there that day. It was even better live. Great curl on the ball.

Agger doesn't seem like the kind of guy to hold grudges to me (although, come to think of it, Torres might disagree

)

However, he always seems to answer honestly when asked questions by the press. So far he's pretty much kept his mouth shut, and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have said anything unless asked directly.

Seems to me he just gave an honest answer, why do you have an issue with that?

As for respect for Rodgers, you are happy enough to dismiss Agger's service and givd him little respect (nice little dig you had there). Maybe take some of your own advice. If you have a problem with other fans' view of Rodgers, take aim there as opposed to having a pop at a player you have absolutely no reason to disbelieve.

Authority is an interesting concept. In my experience, the most authoritarian of managers are usually the most insecure. IF Klopp/Shankly said something and the players did exactly what he asked them to, but the other team kept creating chances, I don't think they would be having a go at the players. Instead, they would be making tactical amendments. Rodgers instead was blaming the two defenders there despite them following his instructions. Doesn't matter if it's Klopp or Shankly, but if a manager does that, they will quickly lose the respect of the player. It's a hyper-competitive environment and managers succeed by being fair, and not by lumping the blame on someone else and relying on their authority for players to not speak up.

Agree. Paisley was a master of correction. And Shankly knew when he got things wrong or clung on to players too long. Also, if Shankly - or Paisley - made a mistake the players would trust them to get it right again so nothing would be said either way.

My best agger moment was his goal against Chelsea in semi finals.
First leg Drogba gave him a torrid time and for him to bounce back and score that goal. Boom as klopp would say

It might not be the CL, but he's won trophies for us - definitely the League Cup under Kenny and I'm 90% sure he was around for the FA Cup under Rafa?

That whole team must go down as the best for Liverpool not to win one of the big two, from Reina through to Agger and Carragher to Gerrard, Mascherano, Alonso and Torres - one of the strongest spines of a team in history. (Let's ignore the wide areas...).

nothing against Agger at all, like I said he has always seemed a top bloke and a red though and through. My issue is people pouncing on this interview and using it as an excuse to lay into Rodgers again. Players come out with stories like this all the time and usually, as with anything, there is another side to the story. It's not like they've been queuing up to slag Brendan off, Gerrard and Suarez for example have been incredibly complimentary.

At the end of the day we're talking about an incident that happened in March 2014. Our manager, heralded all round as a top prospect doing a fantastic job in sticking us right in the midst of a title challenge, had a falling out at half time with an out of form centre half in a game we conceded 3 goals in at home. If this story came out then, then nobody would give a shite and rightly so. It's laying the boot in 2 years later on the strength of one person's account. I don't disbelieve Agger but I also believe that any professional athlete probably wouldn't take too kindly to getting a bollocking at half time. I believe it probably hurts your pride knowing your body has had it and your time is running out at the top level. I believe that the players who were a part of the title charge that season wouldn't have been in that position if we had a manager who was incapable of keeping a dressing room happy. In fact our spirit that season was largely the reason why we were competing in the first place. Then again, it was all because of Suarez, Suarez FC, amirite lads?

It's football, fallings out happen, I don't think it's worthy of two pages of slating a guy who gave us one of our most exciting seasons in 20 odd years.

Agree with you. My only issue was your original post basically turned it round to have a pop at Agger, complete with sly dig at the end.

Daniel Agger played less games for us in his first five years with the club than Harry kewell. HIs body clearly could not take the demands of Premier League football. When he signed his final contract with the club it was interesting to see how many games he played compared to beforehand and ultimately I believe that played a significant part in his time with the club ending and ultimately his career.

If you've read the interviews, it's clear that he was having all sorts of problems. His body couldn't take huge doses of painkillers, that's for sure.

Just seen a clip on FB of him getting them done, the guy from Miami Ink did them and they are talking about his YNWA tattoo aswell, I'm not sure if it was for a tattoo tv show or something, he said me misses the club but misses the City aswell.

He owns a company with Ami James (Miami Ink guy) and a few others called Tattoodo. It was content for their social media.

Legendary character. The welcome back for Fernando when we blanked them right after that transfer was nearly enough to wash away the H&G depression that was tainting my enjoyment of the club. Leader and not afraid to be himself. Heard he's living in Spain and working with ink, good for him.

He's passing on valuable tips, such as:

2. If you are Daniel Agger, you will defend like a god.

Easily in my "if you could spend one night out on the booze with a semi-recent LFC player...." top 3 along with JAR (I'd work up the courage to see if his left quad is like 15x the size of his right peg, as suspected) and.........Xabi Alonso? Although it would be a bit silly getting hammered on Carlsberg's (message discipline people!) in Tuxedos, as I don't think Xabi wakes up everyday fully suited and booted.

The work day is nearly done, feel my boredom. Dagger was class and would be a fun dude to hang with in Sunny Spain.

Edit- Fabio Aurelio and Dagger were contemporaries that reeked of class and had trouble staying healthy. I'm really really bored

Id have never guessed

You say Dagger would be fun to hang out with in Spain. What happens if he's at home in Denmark, or do you live in Spain or do you just want to holiday with him

As for JAR thigh sizes, you could be onto something here. My left calf is a 1/4 or so bigger than my right. That was down to a few years of skateboarding. Not doing your halfpipes and whatnot. I used to skate everywhere, just used it to get from A-B. So if that didnt that do my calf, then maybe footballers natural peg is slightly bigger?
