Boss rates defensive pair

Daniel Agger"I don't think they've ever looked a bad pair," said the Liverpool boss.

"They are certainly both playing very well. It's not just about centre backs and full backs defending, it's about everybody.

"As soon as we lose the ball, we start to defend to get it back as soon as we can. When we do, everyone can go forward if they want. I mean, Daniel Agger got forward a few times on Sunday and Martin scored a goal.

"They've been good defensively, but they've been good in an attacking sense as well."
