Agger: We Must Bounce Back

Daniel Agger has urged Liverpool to maintain their top-four pursuit by bouncing back from the Fulham defeat by beating QPR.

The Red host Rangers on Saturday mindful they have slipped up at home to promoted sides Swansea and Norwich already this season.

Monday's controversial 1-0 defeat at Fulham has left Kenny Dalglish's side five points off Chelsea in fourth, but Agger believes they can still break back into the Champions League places this season and wants a win this weekend.

He said: "After the Fulham game it was the same as every time we lose - it was quiet and people were upset.

"Luckily, there is always a game next week and a chance to bounce back - and that's something we have to do."

On Liverpool's quest to make the top four this season and a return to Champions League action in 2012 after a two-year absence, Agger added: "Everybody who has experienced it knows it is the biggest tournament and wants to be in it.

"That's definitely the target."
