Liverpool defender Daniel Agger is clinging to the hope that if the Reds create more chances then goals will eventually come.

 

Kenny Dalglish’s men stretched their poor run in front of goal to 18 Premier League games with a 1-1 draw at home to bottom side Blackburn Rovers yesterday.

 

Liverpool have scored just 21 times in the league, with even mid-table Norwich City bettering that total by six goals, while Manchester City have managed a whopping 32 more goals.

 

Once again yesterday Liverpool looked toothless, with the burden falling on Luis Suarez to provide a spark and £35M man Andy Carroll continuing a barren run.

 

The Reds are creating chances however, and Agger is of the belief that, if this continues, and even more are created too, then the goals are sure to start flowing sooner rather than later.

 

"When you don’t take your chances you don’t win football games", the Danish international told the club’s official website, reflecting on the Blackburn draw.

 

"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."
