    Agger: Players are happier

    The Dane believes the squad has been rejuvenated by the influx of new colleagues, staff and training methods.

    He told our pre-Steaua Bucharest press conference: "It's a new team with new players, young players, new staff. You can see on people's faces they're a lot more happy.

    "The training sessions are different. When you get a new training session, new staff, new methods, it gives more energy somehow.

    "Obviously the sessions have to be good and in the right way. But for me it's important for a team to be happy to play football. For me personally it's important to be happy to play football. I can perform better and I think it's the same for everybody."

    The 25-year-old was also asked for his thoughts on playing at left-back, something he was required to do at the end of last season and the beginning of this one.

    He said: "Both me, the boss and some of you here know I'm not a left-back and if I could decide myself I wouldn't play there, but I've got to do what the manager tells me.

    "At a club like this you have to play in the position the manager puts you in.

    "That's the same for me. I'm happy to be in the team and that's the biggest part of it. I'm never happy to be on the bench, so if I have to play left-back, I play left-back.

    "I feel my qualities are in the middle and I feel I give more to the team in the middle."

    The Europa League without question falls second in Liverpool's list of priorities this season as the club seeks to regain its Champions League status.

    But Agger for one is desperate to be involved in the Dublin final in eight months' time.

    "I came to this club to win trophies and we haven't won anything for the last four years," he said. "For me and the team it's important, and it's also important for the squad because we have a lot of players and everybody wants to play.

    "We've got 25 players and they can't all play, but we get more games because of this tournament, so it's important to progress to keep more players happy."
    nice to hear, but i think the squad should be a bit concerned atm. or else play like they're happy in matches, and not just in training. my coach always said our happiness is up to us, and if we want to be happy, we had to make sure we were winning games.

            This new found happiness isn't reflected in matches.
            Are we winning?

                I think most of it is down to Gerrard and Torres.

                If they actually started to smile on the pitch and show a lot better attitude then the rest of the players would follow their example.

                They are our two biggest stars and must lead by example.

                    They're happy ergo they're now gay? Something to tell your therapist? We're here for you too, man.

                      I don't want them to be happy, I want them to be hungry.

                        Agreed, I could care less if they are happy but playing worse.
