Agger: Hard work the only answer
Daniel Agger today insisted hard work is the only cure to solving Liverpool's troubles in front of goal.
The Reds were left to reflect on two more dropped points against Blackburn on Boxing Day when, despite dominating the game from start to finish and creating a number of goalscoring chances, they had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Agger admits it's been a similar tale too many times this season, but believes a change of luck must be around the corner.
"When you don't take your chances, you don't win football games," Agger said.
"We had a lot of shots on goal today but you have to give credit to their keeper who made a few good saves. You can only keep on creating chances and at some point it has to come.
"Looking at the game today, we still created chances so the confidence must still be there.
"It's a worry but what can you do? The only way to solve it is to create more chances.
"I really think for 80% or 90% of the time we are playing well. That's the strange thing as normally when you play well you get a bit more luck.
"But somehow we are missing that final touch. We need to find that. Normally when you try harder you get the luck and that's what we must keep doing.
"It's not just one or two players, it's actually all of us. We all have chances and don't score.
"Lots of us had chances against Blackburn - each of the defenders must have had a chance each.
"It's like when we defend, it's not just the defenders who defend. We all need to be chipping in with goals.
"When you play for Liverpool Football Club and play at Anfield you have to go out and win games, especially ones like this."
