I thought that was a really good professional half there. We probably deserve to be a couple in front but we are doing alright. I'm made up about Agger above all else to be honest. I was unconvinced by his debut against Brum but he looks a real talent. He's definately more of a Hansen type than a Hyppia as he appears to have a lovely touch on the ball. Thank God because my feeling is that Man U have bought a dud in Vidik and I feared we may have done the same. We haven't, the boy can really play.
As a footnote and in the interests of fairness, I thought that was one of Morientes's best halves in a Liverpool shirt. He showed for it into feet, protected it and won the odd free kick. His silky touch remains and he was quite effective. Fair play to him.
(As a further footnote and having read it back, I'm not saying Sami hasn't got a good touch on the ball aswell, merely making the point that Agger looks to be definately in the footballing centre half mould, whereas Sami to me is more of a stopper who wins headers all day. Agger is by no means IMHO a direct and similar replacement for Hyppia. I'll be interested to see him (Agger) tested for pace.)
