Daniel Agger
The Danish centre-back is still only 25 and, with Jamie Carragher looking like he is slowly on the
way out, Agger is perfectly primed to make himself the defensive main man at Anfield for many
years. Now the Slovakian Martin Skrtel needs to get up to scratch alongside Agger, just as Agger
has done alongside Carragher and Sami Hyypia in the past.

So much for no winter break in English football.
Liverpool bought six players in the summer of 2008 for a total of roughly £39m. With the sale of
Dossena to Napoli, two of those – the first and third most expensive – are no longer with the
club. The other four – Riera, Cavalieri, Ngog, and Degen – have made a combined 64 league
appearances (100 games in total) in a season and a half, with Riera accounting for 37 (58%) of
those.
Rafa Benitez has named his side to face Reading in the FA Cup replay at Anfield tonight, with
Alberto Aquilani again in the starting line up. The team in full is: Cavalieri, Degen, Carragher,
Agger, Insua, Aquilani, Lucas, Benayoun, Kuyt, Gerrard, Torres. Subs: Aurelio, Babel, Ngog,
Spearing, Skrtel, Gulacsi, Pacheco.

Comical. Unfortunate. Deserved. Typical. And no, there's no acronym there.
It looked like Liverpool would hold onto the one slice of luck received – a chance deflection in
the last minute of the first half – but not this season.

That would be the same Lee Mason who sent off Carragher and Degen at Fulham and Masch at Pompey in
his only two Liverpool matches this season.

If it ain't (that) broke, don't fix it.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has alluded to the possibility that the club will be unable to add
to the signing of Maxi Rodriguez during the current transfer window, but believes his squad can
still fulfil their ambitions.
The mid-season market ceases trading on Monday, and Liverpool - despite being linked with a
multitude of Europe's big names including Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, David Silva and Milan Jovanovic -
are yet to seal a second deal this month.
