Daniel Agger is in a rich vein of form for Liverpool at the moment, and he's been integral to
helping the club achieve the best defensive record in the league. It's hardly surprising that Agger
has developed into such a great defender; he's has had great role models at Anfield, and the Dane
credits one player in particular with having a massive impact on his career.
Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy believes that team he played in under Rafa Benitez during the
2006-7 is superior to current team put together by Kenny Dalglish's. Do you agree?
Bellamy, who memorably helped Liverpool beat Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final that
year, argued:
"Rafa's team was very good; it was very efficient, but this team is not too far off it.
West Bromwich Albion marked the first time that Jamie Carragher hasn't started at centre half
this season, and with it came the first chance in ages to see Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger paired
at the back. The long-delayed partnership, one many assumed Rafa Benitez intended to use as the
replacement for Hyypia and Carragher before a series of injuries made it nearly impossible to
imagine, put in an almost flawless performance.
Former Liverpool FC defender Stephane Henchoz played in seven victories against Manchester United
during his career at Anfield, and he recently revealed his two favourite wins over the club's
arch-rivals. Under Gerard Houllier, Henchoz formed a formidable partnership with Sami Hyypia, which
was vital to Liverpool's dominance over Man United between March 2000 and March 2003.

- We had harsh words for the owl-kicking Colombian player after we caught wind of the incident,
but they weren't nearly as bad as his court-mandated punishment. Luis Moreno must pay an
undisclosed fine, foot the bird's treatment bill and perform community service at the
local zoo.
As its FA cup weekend, a fact about the worlds oldest football competition seems
appropriate...
Manchester United's Eric Cantona was the first foreign player to captain a winning Cup
Final team (1996). Since then Sami Hyypia is the only other foreign player to repeat this
feat.
