The Redskins suck and so do the Reds of Liverpool. When it rains, it pours.

DANIEL AGGER is the latest Liverpool star to admit what Rafa Benitez dare not say: We're not good enough.
All the optimism that the Reds had turned a corner with last week's 2-1 win over Wigan was shattered on Saturday, in their pitiful 2-0 surrender at Portsmouth.

It was their SEVENTH league defeat of a campaign lurching from chaos to crisis - five more than the whole of the previous one - and leaves them a woeful eighth.

While Benitez insists they are nailed on for a top four slot, on current form they will struggle to even make Europe at all, beyond a pre-season tour.

1. No, Agger, you and your backline buddies aren't good enough

You're not even close to good these days. Jamie Carragher needs to STFU and oh, I don't know, play defense. Glen Johnson needs to get off his knees, zip up Fabio Capello's pants, and oh, I don't know, play defense.

Pool aren't scoring any less goals this season, but they are getting scored on TWICE AS MUCH as last year. Daniel Agger and the other three alleged "defenders" should beg Pepe Reina's forgiveness for the shit job they are doing.

9. They faded last year also. I'm beginning to think it's time for Benitez to move on.
I never thought I'd say that. I know they've had some injuries to important players, but stilll...

5. That's the FIRST time TZ has complimented me!Granted, it's a backhanded compliment,
but still, the media should be alerted to this development!

8. It's not like him. He had a losing record against the NFC East and sucked in
He couldn't get the quarterback situation settled. The QB position was just a mess.

He's in a good situation now. I'm happy for him and like him.
