Agger back for a game, warming up for Sunday?

[Eiler99]

Nice to see Agger back.

[CarraLegend]

No Anderson - hint?

 

 

Probably just rested, he seems to have played loads lately.

So have loads of the others.

 

I reckon he'll be on the bench Saturday.

Not sure any have played as much as him lately, Hobbs was a sub recently, Antwi isnt in the team today. Cant see him being on the bench.

[Guest Kev]

The line-up at Pompey will be 'unusual' I reckon.

Maybe, we'll see. Its just that neither Hobbs or Antwi have been on the bench for the 1st team before, Anderson has. Perfect opportunity to blood him in the Premier League and let him digest that over the summer break and come back next season hungry for more.

[sutty]

I'd be annoyed if we don't go for the win and 2nd place.

You would be more annoyed if certain players pick up knocks and miss Cardiff

I dunno mate, it'll be a hard game and we'll get beat if we don't have a decent 11 out there.

Is this the Final score

[Redwire]

Daniel Agger played his first game since returning from injury but finished on the losing side as Liverpool Reserves lost 2-0 at Manchester City in their final game of the season.

The Danish international played the first 45 minutes of the game for the Reds in Paco Herrera's final game in charge of the reserves before he returns home to Spain in the summer.

 

Conditions at the Regional Athletics Stadium in Sportcity were far from ideal and City took advantage of kicking with the swirling wind facing them in the first half. The home side scored both goals in the first half and although Liverpool were much improved in the second period they just couldn't find a way back into the match.

 

Last season Liverpool were thrashed 5-0 by City having been on the end of a 6-0 defeat the previous campaign.

 

Herrera made four changes to the team that beat Manchester United on Sunday with Agger, Danny O'Donnell, Adam Hammill and Ramon Calliste all given starting roles.

 

City made the more lively start to the game and were deservedly into the lead after 22 minutes when O'Donnell held back Ishmael Miller. A penalty was awarded and Miller stepped up to slot past Martin for the opening goal.

 

Liverpool were finding it hard to get going and create any decent openings and City made it 2-0 after 37 minutes when Sun Jihai ran onto a through ball, rounded Martin and slotted home.

 

Agger went close for the Reds after 43 minutes when his blistering 25-yard drive from a free-kick was palmed away by Nicky Weaver. That was to be the Dane's last involvement as he was replaced at half-time by Danny Guthrie.

 

The Reds made a further change on the hour mark when Paul Anderson replaced the disappointing Calliste in attack.

 

Guthrie went close for Liverpool after 64 minutes with a superb curled effort from 25-yards out that landed just wide. Adam Hammill then suffered similar misfortune with a tremendous effort that went just wide. Robbie Foy also went close with a long range drive that just cleared the bar.

Besian Idrizaj went close for the Reds in the closing stages of the game with a fine effort that hit the bar.

 

Looking back it has been a good season for the reserves and Paco Herrera and Hughie McAuley will have seen much to be pleased about. The young guns in the team, 17-year-olds Jack Hobbs, Godwin Antwi, Miki Roque and Paul Anderson have all had excellent campaigns and the foreign players adapted really well to new surroundings. The emergence of the talented winger Adam Hammill has also been a big boost while the consistent displays of Lee Peltier, James Smith and Danny Guthrie have also earned them a lot of plus points.

 

Reds goalkeeper David Martin can be pleased with his contribution too and since his arrival from MK Dons he ended the season with a good record of 10 clean sheets in 13 reserve team starts.

 

Manchester City Reserves: Weaver, Sun Jihai (Ward 61), Collins, D'Laryea, Mills, Johnson, Croft (Grimes 76), Laird, Wright-Phillips, Miller, Etuhu (Bennett 76).

 

Liverpool Reserves: Martin, Barragan, Smith, Agger (Guthrie 45), O'Donnell, Hobbs, Hammill, Peltier (Roque 66), Calliste (Anderson 60), Idrizaj, Foy. Subs not used: Lancaster (GK), Antwi.

 

Referee: M Short.

 

Liverpoolfc.tv Man of the Match: James Smith. Another solid display at left back from one of the most consistent performers in the reserves team.

[RafaShanks]

Didn't we win the first leg 3-0?

[Guest Ian K]

Last season Liverpool were thrashed 5-0 by City having been on the end of a 6-0 defeat the previous campaign.

 

Great result then, you can't deny the progress.

Another couple of seasons and we might just scrape a 0-0 draw.

[Falconhoof]

Man City probably had a point to prove after losing the FA youth cup. Our lads can have a well earned rest now.

[Spike]

I'd wager Rafa putting a few young ones in given the potential for injury for the FA and WC for some of our seniors who may see this as academic - not questioning their professionalism but it's pretty much a nothing to lose game for both.
