Does anybody know where Agger was on Saturday?

[alias75]

Has it been explained anywhere why he wasn't even on the bench. If he had a knock fair enough but if he was fit to play and he didn't make the bench there have to be some worries about his long term future here. Looking at the subs bench on Saturday we only had Dossena as defensive cover so it wouldn't make sense not to have him on the bench if he was fit.

 

Also another one of those games where a ball carrying centre half could have been useful.

 

Got a bad feeling he may not sign the new contract.

sure i read somewhere that he was an injury doubt.

As far as I know, he declared himself fit in the morning, but then got worse (he's got flu?) during the day and was ruled out.

Well then. You answered your own question.

Was puking all morning according to a poster elsewhere.

Gerrard did the same, but still played.

i've got a bad feeling he may start an unsubstantiated rumour

According to the Norwegian fan site he was out with a leg injury, pulled a muscle or something. He and Alonso are expected back for the next match.

So it was one of Rafa doesnt rate him, flu, sickness or a leg injury.

 

Glad we've cleared that one up.

Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso and Daniel Agger, who both missed the trip to the Britannia through injury, are hoping to be fit for the Merseyside derby at Anfield a week today.

He sat down beside Skrtel and Martin's aura injured him.

Good to hear it was an injury / illness. Really think we need a defender with his ability on the ball to make the difference against teams that park the bus. Teams are happy to give someone like Sami time to pick his pass but when its Agger on the ball hes much more dangerous in terms of his passing ability, shooting ability and also his ability to carry the ball into midfield as we've already seen this season.

edit. just wrote exactly the same thing as above.

If that's true then I'm pissed off.

 

He was f***ing s****.
