Fernando Torres let Liverpool down by moving to Chelsea, fumes Daniel Agger
Daniel Agger has hit out at Fernando Torres for daring to leave Liverpool for rivals Chelsea in a ?50million move last month. [LNB]Torres suffered a barrage of abuse from travelling fans during his Stamford Bridge debut against Liverpool on Sunday, and the Denmark defender admits he would never have made such a switch. [LNB]'I think it is unacceptable to play for one of Liverpool's arch rivals,' said Agger. 'For a Dane it is about having respect for the club you play at. I'm proud to pull on my Liverpool jersey and will never go to another club in England.' [LNB]Agger produced a crunching tackle on Torres during the game at Stamford Bridge, which Liverpool won 1-0. [LNB] No holds barred: Daniel Agger (right) gets to grips with former team-mate Fernando Torres[LNB]'Football is a contact sport,' he shrugged. 'Liverpool got a lot of money for him, so we wish him all the best, but, if the player doesn't want to be here any more, there's no reason to keep him.'[LNB]The 26-year-old was at a loss to explain how Torres had lost his form. 'That's a big question, isn't it?' he said. 'Look at the team, we played awful, we were s*** and he was a part of the team. [LNB]'When everyone is playing well, he plays a lot better. When we are losing, everybody is on top of us and everybody is playing bad. [LNB]'Big players should lift you. That's how it should be. Some players have to take bigger responsibility. It is the same in all walks of life.'

[LNB]Four wins on the trot have moved them back inside the Barclays Premier League's top six and within six points of fourth.[LNB]'Kenny is a positive guy,' said Agger. 'First of all because he likes to play positive football, going forward, keeping the ball on the ground, and he is good among the players. [LNB]'The training sessions have been really good and I think everything starts at the training ground. If you get that right you have a big advantage in the games.'[LNB] ?50m for Torres?
