Agger eager for QPR clash
Daniel Agger insists Liverpool can't wait for Saturday's visit of Queens Park Rangers as they aim to get back on track following the 1-0 defeat at Fulham.
The Dane admits the Reds were left disappointed by their loss at Craven Cottage, but feels the Anfield clash with newly-promoted QPR presents them with an opportunity to put their frustrations behind them
"After the Fulham game it was the same as every time we lose - it was quiet and people were upset," Agger told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"Everybody who plays football at this level doesn't like to lose, so everybody was really upset (about the defeat) and also about the way we lost - we had a lot of chances and I think we deserved better, but that's football.
"Luckily in football, there is always a game next week and a chance to bounce back - and that's something we have to do. We need the points."
Despite seeing an 11-match unbeaten run come to an end on Monday, Agger is adamant Liverpool's target of a top-four finish remains undeterred.
"It's always difficult to talk about positions and which position you can end up," he added. "I really hope we can be in the top four because Champions League football is the main thing.
"Everybody who has experienced it knows it is the biggest tournament and wants to be in it. That's definitely the target."
Meanwhile, Agger has explained why he believes Sebastian Coates has all the attributes to become a top-class centre-back for Liverpool.
The 21-year-old has made four first-team appearances since moving to the Reds in August, and excelled in last week's 2-0 Carling Cup victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, leaving his defensive partner suitably impressed.
Agger said: "Sebastian has done really well in the games he's played. He's learning quickly and he definitely has all of the tools to have a great career.
"It's up to him and the best way to show it is to play some good games."
