Agger ffs. The guy is a better ST than half the forwards in the world.

His best record is 4 goals in 43 hmm

there must be some really bad strikers around hmm

Well he is playing CB Moal. He doesn't get the freedom to run up and grab goals when he wants to. I was speaking ability wise. But of course I exaggerated a bit. Nevertheless, if you come at me brah, then bring the kitchen sink as you know I will debate anything to do with Dagger. smoking

Not really. I'm a Liverpool fan, but recently he has been pretty wasteful.

The only wasteful chance from Agger that I remember this season was against Fulham when he skied a tap in from the Suarez pass.

30 shots on target this season with just 2 goals. I guess no center back in Premier League has more than that. That's a bad return given that "The guy is a better ST than half the forwards in the world."

He has been wasting many long shots recently and also not been able to get his headers straight during corners.

by McAgger Wed Feb 27, 2013 12:32 pm

Well most of his shots on target are headers from corners. It's not easy scoring form corners. And he's had a bunch of them cleared off the line. As long as they are on target I wouldn't say a CB is wasting chances. Especially if they are shots from outside the box and headers from corners.

By 'wasting' I meant they're not even on target. Calling a CB wasteful would be blasphemous. But he tries long shots and hasn't been getting them even on target since a past few months. Not even headers during corners. He seems to be lacking confidence, just like his fellow partner.

I see what you mean. Yes he's been wasteful with his shots from outside the box in the regard that he's been skying them more often than not.
