What he gets is that he's really filling Carragher's boots, which is what they would've asked of him from the get go, and which requires that he plays with immense responsibility and leadership. We shouldn't really have needed Carragher last season, but we didn't have anyone else in defense with organisational abilities and leadership qualities. I really like Agger, and think he will be a good vice captain, but we know what his strengths are - much like we know what Gerrards are. Lead by example, blah blah. But yeah, we need the Toures and the Carraghers.
