Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel have forged a fantastic central defensive partnership over the last couple of months, but who is currently playing the best out of the two?
Like most great defensive partnerships, Agger and Skrtel complement each other very well. Skrtel is the Carra/Lawrenson-esque 'last-ditch' scrapper, whereas Agger is the more elegant, Hansen-esque ball-player. Both have contributed to Liverpool's excellent defensive record, but who is playing the best?

They are incredibly worrying duel won figures :/
ReplyDeleteThough Agger is the best defender Liverpool have but on current form Skrtel is looking the best defender in the league.
ReplyDeleteSkrtel has more goals & assists...
ReplyDeleteboth good :), i didnt vote
ReplyDeletedon't care about the stats. I see they both are being a very important part of the team, both in the defence and the attack, each in their own way, completing each other as defensive tandem. And me too, I think I won't be able to make up my mind who is better of these two. So I am not casting my vote.
ReplyDeleteAgger can create a goalscoring moment, like he did in the last game. Skrtel can score from the corner, or make an assist... But so can Agger. Skrtel can throw himself across the goal line to make a vital off the line save or block. Agger is smart in preventing dangerous shots on our goal, but so is Skrtel. Both tend to make an occasional dribble to the box and attempt shots on goal or assists. Of course, like any other player or person, both make mistakes too, it's normal.
Defense duo; the communicate and play to each other strengths,
ReplyDeleteI was going to say you got him confused with Kompany but he looks nothing like him
ReplyDeleteWhat a ridiculous poll. The fact is they are the 2 central defenders that are being played at the moment.......what is the point of asking who is the best out of the 2??????
ReplyDeletehaiz can everybody stop arguing who's better ? just be fortunate we are having the best defensive partnership in Liverpool after a long time.
ReplyDeleteBoth complement each other and the they are the defensive partnership Mark 3 after the Hansen-Lawrenson and the Hyppia-Hanchoz teams. Me, Ashfah loves Skrtel and Agger.
ReplyDeleteHaha ashfah makes me laugh
