One thing..

[sbaros]

Why on earth does Rafa always put Traore on the bench? Agger can play LB aswell, and from my impression probably better then Traore at both positions, has been good the times he played..

 

Is there any particular reason why Rafa always has Traore on the bench? Surely he has realised by now the he is just not good enough..

 

Either Rafa really likes Traore or Agger is just not impressing in training.. i don't understand it..

Danny Agger is injured.

[sbaros]

Yeah just realised that.. but still, he hasn't been injured the last 2 months as he? Has he ever been on the bench for us? Started a few but i don't think he has ever been on the bench..

[Benitez]

Your statement 'Either Rafa really likes Traore or Agger is just not impressing in training.. i don't understand it..' is a bit over the top - what is there to suggest he's not impressing? That is sensationalist right there.

 

The interview with Agger last week seems to suggest he's doing very well, and is so keen in training, that Rafa has had to tell him to ease up a bit.

 

And Traore is on the bench - cos he's injured. Nothing more sensational than that I suspect. But I realise that's not very exciting a reason

[Berger]

Because Agger needs time to settle into English games.

Great - thanks for that.

[DonRafa]

I applaud what Rafa is doing with Agger - its what we used to do in the glory days.

We'd buy a promising youngster, then he'd dissapear into the reserves for six months - gradually introduced into the first team, for that final spit and polish, and hey presto! anpther sparkling young diamond, fully versed in the Liverpool way

[bazz]

traore on field for few minutes = shop window!

[Kahnee]

Think the question should be - why was he brought on to play on the wing

so as not to disturb the back four

he's like the anti-midas,anything he touches turns to s****

It's called the Charlie Nicholas Effect.
