Alan Hansen pays tribute to Liverpool centre-backs Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel.

Liverpool legend Alan Hansen has paid tribute to centre-backs Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel for their form this season.

The pair have impressed together at the heart of the Reds defence and have earned many plaudits for their displays for the club.

Agger has been plagued with injuries since moving to Anfield, but Hansen believes that his partnership with Skrtel is blossoming.

"Daniel's a top-class player. There's things you can see and some things people wouldn't see," said Hansen. "He's exceptionally comfortable in possession of the ball. He's never embarrassed when the ball is at his feet – and traditionally Liverpool centre-backs have always been all of that.

"Anticipation and interception is all part and parcel of centre-back play, but you always go back to the partnership he has with Skrtel and they complement each other.

"Skrtel's really strong in the air, whereas Daniel would be better on the ground and has better attributes on the ground."

Liverpool host Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.
