"You can say that. Our defending this season is not acceptable. The season is in a shambles. We have 12 games to get some pride back as a club and possibly finish top 6. Come on guys, what on earth is wrong with you. Play for the shirt!"
" By this I presume the keyboard warriors hit twiter to rip into another player,how sad are they. Yes Dagger made mistakes,he knows that and is big enough to admit it.End of.Dagger=Top Man"
"we need to show support to our players and not publicly critisize them. even at thier worst time/form.we are not doing them any favours/help by attacking them on social medias"
"Respect for agger for accepting his mistake. Shelvey's post on twitter "Love people giving me stick .. When half of people on here haven't got a clue what they're on about. #welldone #keyboardwarriors". Do we need to play football to qualify as a fan for this football club. We are not glory hunters. This club has entered our kith and kin.."
"I think your performance past few appearances have not warranted a start, which BR must take responsibility for. But given BR's lack of experience and Pascoe's zero experience, a lack of managerial competence is expected, but not excused. BR is proving inept."
"Defend BR all you want but the table does not lie.With the squad BR has and the money he spent the club are 9th!!!!!!!. He is not preforming in his job end of story. I said last week when everyone was having a go at Skrtel that Agger was the one to blame and yet again this proved"
"agree with you Dani, not good enough! let's hope you will suggest BR to give you a rest and time to reflect on your faults! Keep working hard Dani, you will bounce back soon! YNWA Dagger!"
"Time for a seat on the bench. You gave away both goals like gifts and you missed an insanely easy header in the first half. Ain't the first time in either case."
"The Way I see it is that things can ONLY get BETTER as We're ALL dissappointed after Last Night's Result and the way it's left us even futher behind for qualifying for the CL. Get behind the Club even more now as it's very much needed....... YNWA REDS
"
"Zenit away on Thursday followed by Swansea home on Sunday and Zenit home next week. Three games in eight days and we haven't beaten Swansea since they were promoted (two draws, two defeats). I want to be optimistic but on our current form I may as well flip a coin."
"Yes well Daniel it's not just the last 10 minutes of the last game is it. Two goals you cost us against West Brom.
Against Man City, Dzeko's tap in should have been cut out by you.
Against Arsenal it was your man on the free kick who scored and let them back in the game that we were winning 2-0.
Agger has had a poor season, never mind a poor last 10 minutes."

"Not being funny but we need a manager who doesn't accept loosing to west brom at home. Br is not good enough for KFC let alone LFC! Bring back rafa he beat Barca...RealMadrid...Ac Milan....Inter....Chelsea...Arsenal....Utd 4-1. He cared about the club and was enled to 1 bad season!!! Br out ASAP. Rafa in with hypia NOW!!"
"Totally Daniel - you were not good enough, letting McAuley get away from you - bad defending! we should never have lost that game. We needed Sturridge last night, for the first 45 at least. Stop talking about 4th spot and win games!"
"simple as that? not likely...more so it is typical of that. I believe the answer is simple tho. but a bit long winded. I will try to Simplify it. here goes...
"
"we attack, that's our style..great. but but...against the likes of arse n mc they do to. which opens spaces which is why we look gr8 n show much more than against teams..."
"which park the bus n rely counter attack/set pieces. simply we can not play those teams cos we have no plan for these types. seeing is believing..we draw the afore mentioned teams, we are beta..."
"Well, respect I respect that. He maned up instead of talking about being made a scapegoat... Expected nothing less from Daniel. The fullbacks, Pepe & shelvey have to have a word with themselves. "
"against teams who come to gods country just to defend n counter we should/need to play sth like 3232. to counter the counter attacks as our def is shocking. that is 3 cbs with wing backs etc.
"
"WE ALL KNOW THAT BEN FOSTER MOVED OFF HIS LINE BEFORE GERRARD TOOK THE PENALTY, HE EVEN ADMITTED IT HIMSELF IN THE INTERVIEW AFTER THE GAME, WHY CAN'T THE REFEREE OR LINESMAN SPOT THIS?"
"now 4get top 4 n concentrate on Europe with a view to summer. simple yet again we need to tighten the def n get a poacher to cover dan n luis. otherwise 4get next yr as well."
"I don't post often n ive now had my say...love l4 always, just devo about this season. sry for ranting. but I feel beta for getn it off my chest..ynwa ever."
"Not just you Dan Agger , there were at least eight others out there who under performed. Our season is over and its such a sickening feeling. What a come down from the glory days now all we have is ground hog day!!"
"We have a fine manager in Br, with 20 years coaching experience, there are not many coaches in the world with his experience at his age, who since 22 has dedicated his life to become a manager, we are in safe hands but some blips along the way will occur..."
"At least you put your all into it DAgger. I think next match should have Skrtel & Agger back Carra got burnt by Lukaku with pace ... I don't want Carra to retire but at the same time he has no legs left"
"Lonewar, 20 years coaching experience? Where do you get your information from? Comic books? BR had 1 year with Swansea in The Premier league and was sacked from 2 previous lower division clubs."
"this must be the most depressing supporters blog ever.we are forever moaning and putting the players and the manager down.how do we expect them to soldier on without our support.do we ever take time and listen to the words in our You Will Never Walk Alone athen?starting acting like supporters and not haters,and maybe the players will start to believe"
"everybody has an enlement to express their views, after all we pay good money to watch, but my view is we have a responsibility also, the past two seasons Anfield has become a morgue, where is our passion and vocal support?, the game lasts 90 mins and 19 home games +"
"Stop talking about top 4 and focus on winning games. Take one game at a time, how many times are you guys going to learn this? You fellas earn tens of thousands a week, something that we fans dont earn in years but we spend our hard earned watching and supporting you!!!! Please please stop talking, dont apologize and let the action speak for it self no more stupid top 4 predictions."
"Fair assessment? I will give you fair assessment: Out of FA cup, out of league cup, Top 6 looks improbable much less top 4. All hopes on Europa. But if we play like we have done against small clubs, not to mention non-league clubs, we all know what we have coming. "
"we always knew it was going to be a difficult season.new manager,new style of play and new players.this is a building season,we should support the course.Ferguson never built a team like Man U over night.we should give our manager and players time and support instead of mocking them ever chance we get.i am not against constructive critism,but some of the comments here are just awful"
"the comments we put on here are suppose to add value and build whatever the team is trying to achieve and not distroy it.how would you feel if at your work place if you were forever told you are not good enough?whatever effort you put in you are just short down and told you are useless.critisize constructively and don't destroy thier spirit, whatever is left of it"
"I am a big fan of King Kenny and was devastated when he was sacked. Still, decided to cheer for Rodgers who came in with a lot of promise. But honestly, he hasn't lived up to the expectations, my frank assessment of him is a poor replacement for Kenny Dalglish."
"Great to see the 3 clowns all commenting. Thanks for the technical input dweebs. Your man is certainly taking us in the right direction, he's probably taken a few of your ideas and made the team play according to the way you three mugs think we should play... lol.. "
"Kenny reopened the trophy cabinet after 6 long years; he almost bagged 2 in his first full season as in-charge. There is no reason for me not to believe that he would have built upon his first season's success, but only for FSG to jump the gun. All said and done, I still sincerely hope that BR succeeds and proves me wrong. "
" If Reina managed to concede 2 goals after just 4 goal attempts for Albion I wonder if he was Albions goal keeper how many he would let in?....23 goal attempts + a penalty....more then 2 for sure....We dont have a goal keeper Rodgers when will you understand this he and his silly mistakes costed us so many points...."
"Agges, yes, he could have marked lukaku closer but what happened to Reina? you can see the ball just touched his right hand and i believe he was in a position to stop it. I feel he is weak in some areas,has let in some tame shots and should address these areas quickly."
"tired of all these excuses, that's what our club is about today, you still get paid thousands, anybody else not doing there jobs properly they would be sacked, wish I was getting thousands for letting supporters down who pay to watch, easy life whilst us work for peanuts, over rated the players we got and not good enough, just a let down this philosophy, it hasnt worked all season "

"we say sorry a lot this season, wish I could say sorry for not doing my job properly and still get paid thousands, always the next game, let's move on from this, the things is we don't move on, feed us rubbish this club now a days and are a bore to watch"
"At least Agger admits to his poor performance, the other players were poor. slow to the ball not chasing it hard enough. Borini should have stayed on the bench. Jonjo was a bit player. What the team and management need is a good kick up the rear."
"if the team is playing well,i;ll praise them ,if there not playing well i'll have pop at them because i am enled to,plain and simple!!would you pay for a bad meal in cafe,and say that was lovely,NO!! "
"He is one of our best defenders ever, dont slate our best players never ever. Critic is ok, he played bad in last few games and he knows it , but every body has a bad game. He played world class for year and a half, are you people mad for slating him. Agger forever in LFC "
"West brom held us out and then hit us on the break. 25 shots to their 5 and 60% possession, but no points. Aggers honest, but we shouldn't have let them get the ball to try and score. 4th feels definitely gone now and St. Petersburg feels like a very important game."
"There were a lot more players who I can think of who were more woeful than Agger last night. But at least hes honest. Hope twitter cretins haven't been giving him grief."
"brendan now knows he pretty much has to rebuild his whole back four plus a keeper.johnson,agger,srktyl,enrique,reina all gotta go.Been here too long now and it shows.All these guys play well in one game and bad in another.No wonder despite the change of manager the same problems remain.And for that BR needs a few more windows and more time."
"Forget rafa, get brazils dunga in! his was the onlyu brazil team that thrashed the like of argentina 2-0 in argentina.Most underrated manager ever, and hes prob real cheap too.He will build a strong physical team, lightening fast on the counter."
"wasting our time, that's the feeling I get, this season with a few windows has proven it doesn't work, we haven't made any progress, the players brought in are not good enough to change things, just don't care that were upset fsg, Ian ayre and Rodgers, all we get is let's move on and learn all season, which they dont"
"Everyone was rubbish except Downing, Hendo was ok. Enrique really got on my nerves last night so did Johnson I lost count of how many times they lost the ball, I really wanted to drag Enrique off by his ear. I also think BR is too soft, he never goes mad on the touch line like top managers do Mancini, fergie and moriniho all go mad if the players need a kick up the backside. "
"Yeah right... What's BR's problem? He's had nearly a whole season to turn this floundering club into champions and he can't do it!! (Not my opinion, but appears to be that of most plonkers on here)."
"What a pathetic, shocking season this has been, a disastrous start and then full of ups and downs mostly downs. Can't wait for next season. No chance of winning the Europa with this kids. YNWA"
"Yes, he made quite stupid mistakes recently. What all of you fail to realize is that he is forced to play with Carra and cover his areas as well. Carra is way slower and out of his depth, but blindness for the home-boy's shortcomings has always been the issue with the "Anfield faithful". And yes, once again I would point out that the crowd yesterday was a disgrace! Anfield was silent!"
"There is no sense picking on Daniel for his poor performance . The whole team were well below par last night from Pepe to Luis and everyone in between. Perhaps the wage bill should reflect the performance levels. I think this might waken them up a bit against the stokes and west broms. We just don't seem to be able to cope with big strikers. Big improvement required, YNWA"
"MailOnline And has anyone worked out whose names were in Rodgers' Liverpool Envelopes ie 3 names of people who will have let Liverpool down by the end of the season. Didn't think it would Pepe Reina, Agger and Skrtel and he 4got 4th himself.BEING lIVERPOOL Doc following day 3 0 by WBA."
"Nickofella, Spurs have a new manager and are challenging for 3rd with less money to spend, so far BR has spent over 50m net in two transfer windows. So whose the real plonker? Yeah, you & Rodgers!"
"As Shanks so aptly put it"...if you can't support us when we lose, then don't support us when we win..." Daniel, you have been an absolute leader in defense for a number of seasons. I for one appreciate your hard work and dedication to the club! YNWA son! No one one the league gets every position and every tackle right, but you do a majority of the time!"
"Quit football and continue getting the rest of your body tattooed. Its the only thing your good at, getting tattooed and being injured 99% of the time."
"the fact is the liverpool way which has done us not to bad you attack as a team you defend as a team not yr fault dan theres eight more players in front of you to beat they look clueless"
"The sooner BR goes the better and we get our club back. I agree with many of the posts on here asking for Rafa to return! I hope FSG get their finger out now and don't make the same mistake as last year! Get Rafa back to LFC YNWA"
"Someone needs to give these guys a swift kick up the backside. I do not think these players fear BR and some probably do not respect him, this shows with their inconsitancy"
"everything is wrong ...the plot ,the line up and tactics is totally unacceptable .shelvey is like a no head chicken ,downing is not running into space to backup suarez and gerrad ,johnson is looking too tired and Jose Enrique is rubbish ."
"I wonder what FSG are thinking at the moment as 4th place seems to be slipping far away.
Last I heard,Tom Werner was really happy with BR.
Now we only have the Europa league and I can't see much improvement from last seasons Prem performance.
I'm not sure I'd back BR to buy players to take us forward in the summer."
"Actually prior to WBA match - Agger and Johnson have been extremely consistent!
We have a 'World Class' defender in Agger! Not only that but he's a true red!
YNWA"
"YNWA, well... You will always get stick when you lose to West Brom at Anfield, its been around 50 years since this happened last.. I am sure no player is proud of that and no one should be. Last night was embarassing to us as well and we take no pride in a squad that makes them look as good as they did. This was theyre first win this year."
"And when they opened up the lads passed it short, and backwards.. it was absolutely PATHETIC!! The clearances were in panic at times shots were just into the blue, like the lads were trying to get a count, 19 shots 3 on the frame at some point, slow back heal shot 2 m in front of the keeper Should have been placed, dead give away.. pathetic performance.."
"No one on recieving end of crosses, glen was cutting in trying to find players taking them on, some times we had a cross and two people hand in hand in the hole, idiotic. Luis had always 2or more defenders on him, no one pulling, people oide all the time Stewie found no one was shooting blanks because he had no space or options.. yea, a bad team performance at the best"
"And in cases like this you blame the manager to have a unprepared squad or a squad that doesnt know what to do when they are closed down or what position they are playing in.. or simply like in this case playing people out of position and getting the selection wrong. Maybe Fabio is not the best but he plays the striker role correct.."
"Nice one Dan honest assesment of your display it a pity others cant do the same instead of talking up our chances of Champions League next season which if we are honest quite frankly is nil lets just build on what we have and go back to taking one game at a time."
"This manager has spent 40 million!! thats no joke. LFC fans always support the club I hate to hear fans saying we don't back the manager. We'll back the club even if they give this guy 5 years. We are a BIG club that needs BIG managers. For me there is nothing to back. We need someone who wants to put is back on our perch. "
"And in cases like this you blame the manager to have a unprepared squad or a squad that doesnt know what to do when they are closed down or what position they are playing in.. or simply like in this case playing people out of position and getting the selection wrong. Maybe Fabio is not the best but he plays the striker role correct.."
"We need world class players end of story. A Right back,Center Back, Left Back and a Striker are a must for the summer. Sorry to say it but Borini not good enough. Luck has not been our friend this season, things can only get better Y.N.W.A "
"Just 2 points to make:
1. Agger and Skrtel were one of the best central pairings in the league, worked well together and complemented each others style.
2. Steve Clarke outfoxed BR.Kept it tight for 75 then brought on a striker, knew we would get more desperate for a goal and get sloppy.scored and brought a 2nd one on, knew we'd push even more and leave gaps."
"Daniel,
I am afraid you have gone to sleep for a number of goals conceded since and including the Man U game.
You look class going forward, but Skirtel is a log way ahead of you regarding defending. Perhaps three CB's at home would solve the problem? "
"Watching Celtic vs Juve and is reminding me of last night. Celtic doing asking all the questions but I still expect Juve to get another late on. Celtic don't have the quality to turn pressure into goals. Just like we didn't especially after bringing on Borini, who right now looks like he will never score. You can't just blame Agger. When your attackers can't score you get nervous as a defender "
"At Least Aggers is honest enough to admit it.
Maybe BR needs to learn the same.
Admit youre wrong BR
Crap players in a crap system
Dont blame the fringe players "
"Guess what guys, players make mistakes (SG missing a penalty for example probably wins the game). I think people here are too harsh, as long as the players are giving their best we can't ask for anything more. BR has also been in the job just over 6 months, give him time instead of seeking quick answers. We are not Chelsea! "
"No Nickofella, Kenny should have stayed on after getting to 2 cup finals. I was only comparing the two respective jobs currently being done by Rodgers & AVB. Is that too much info for you're brain?"
"Gutted about loss but more gutted with people slating dagger. Could've gone to city for big big bucks but stayed loyal. Owns his mistakes. I hate not being top but hate more what some fans spew. We are LFC as one when we win and when we lose, deal with it, everyone makes mistakes. "
"p.s when the Liver bird rises from the the ashes like the Phoenix and is back on top all you no marks can eat humble pie and die for all I care. You'll be crowing and shouting but you'll know in your heart you weren't there when times were hard and it will hurt."
"Im not gonna bad mouth a player who gives it a 100 per cent and agger never fails to give it his all, whoever is bad mouthing a player of his stature should be ashamed of themselves, I really think andy carroll was needed last night especially against lesser teams who play ten men behind the ball, last year he was the difference in these kind of matches when on form"
"Gerrard`s miss seemed to have a really negative effect, causing the defence to lose concentration. The short passing game is showing up flaws. Why should umpteen passes be superior to an earlier one, when all the players are doing is letting the opposition`s defence get set?"
"The players seem inhibited about making killer passes or dribbling runs at the moment. We seem susceptible to teams who put players behind the ball and counter attack. It seems to help them to commit so many bodies forward. We need to play earlier balls to help break teams down. How else can we do it?"
"Good on ya Dan, I had a few games like this last season (pub-club), all going well until my mistakes cost us goals and matches in last 1/2 hour etc.....I soul searched and apologised to the rest of the team, who actually took some of the heat also for the lack of on field support etc, then I tried to do better next game/future games. YNWA you great dane!!"
"
All i can say we are a mid table club at best we get up for big games as we just did and can't get by WBA that's where we need to built on away ties are ok special against big clubs but at home you have to finish cold blooded with out excuses "
"I,M A FAN AGGER,YOU ARE A TRUE RED,BUT OUR DEFENDING HAS BEEN TERRIBLE,OUR KEEPER SHAKY.WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SPEARING COMES BACK NEXT SEASON....OH NO...GOD HELP US."
"HEY JONJO DO WE HAVE TO BE A TOP FOOTBALLER BEFORE WE CAN CRITICISE YOU? IF WE DONT KNOW WHAT WE TALKING ABOUT,YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU DOING ON THE FIELD MAN,CLUELESS.LAZY AND ALWAYS LOOSING THE BALL."
"In my opinion the players must shoulder the blame collectively. Agger has shown great bottle to put his hand up and say this. He is a fantastic example of someone who gives there all, and you could see his desire to push for the win against WBA. YNWA Dan Agger. We love you here."
"Hey we are tired of loving people who dont care what pain we go through wen they put up mediocre performamces. Agger how cld you lose that guy for the first goal. So awful were u at the back."
"Yep Daniel had a bad day but at least he admitted it. I have been a massive fan of Jonjo's for the last couple of years but his reaction after he was rightly called out on his worst ever reds performance, is just juvenile and disrespectful. I was amazed at how poor he played when he was supposed to be fighting to get his place back."
