I want to make a shout about Daniel Agger.
I'm positively impressed with this signing. Not that with Carra and Hyppia he's going to be in the starting eleven right now, but I've seen quite many centre backs debuts, and I have seen him some details, that makes me think that he's going to be even a better defender than even Carra or Hyppia in some years. Perhaps I'm bold to say this, but I honestly think the lad has great potential.
In last Fulham game, it was a very difficult game for our defence. Note that we played two very attacking men in the wings, Kewell, and Luis Garcia. We normally play a balanced midfield, with one attacking man, a la Kewell, and a midfielder that knows defending like Gerrard. Or alternatively we played Luis Garcia on the right , and Riise to make a more solid midfield in the left.
But last game we played like Spain did against Eslovaquia, with LG on the right and a winger on the left, and curiously enough, we got the same score.
But watch out, winning 5-1 doesn't mean that's the correct way. Until min 70, we had a tough game, due to having two so attacking men in the wings, and Gerrard always helping on attack, Hamman had lots of job to do, and so did our defence. Fulham reached quite a bunch of times to our goal, to be honest.
It wasn't an easy game for the defence due to all this, but all the defence, including Traore, did a decent game. Of course they did some mistakes, that's normal.
And in the case of Agger, I see him real potential to become a hell of a centre back.
Thoughts?
