Daniel Agger

No he didn't obviously, but I'm sure he got exactly what's been inferred.

From the offal, nice interview about KK

Daniel Agger believes Kenny Dalglish is attempting to install a positive mentality into Liverpool's playing style - and it's one he's relishing.

The Dane feels the training methods Dalglish has implemented at Melwood have had the desired effect so far, with the Reds winning their last two matches in the Barclays Premier League to move up to seventh in the table.

Agger told Liverpool's official matchday programme: "He's (Dalglish) such a big personality and his name is so big around this club and this city, it's unbelievable. He's been here for a few weeks now and I can say that I like his style of football.

"I think every day, he is so positive in what he does - trying to get the team to go forward by playing football. I believe he can be really good for us.

"In the team meetings and in training you can hear and by the different things we're working on that he really wants us to play positive football and how important it is to keep possession, not giving it away so easily.

"He understands that long-term success happens with teams and not individuals so there has been a big emphasis on team spirit."

Shortly after the confirmation of his appointment, Dalglish drafted in Steve Clarke to assist with the coaching of the squad at Melwood.

Agger has been impressed with the manner in which the pair have worked together so far, and he's hopeful they will both have decisive roles to play in Liverpool's future.

"Already you can see that he (Steve Clarke) is, and will hopefully in the future be, a positive influence on this club," he said.

"He and Kenny look like a really good team and together I hope they can play a huge part in the club's future - not just in the short-term, but in the long-term as well. It is clear that they suit this club.

"Obviously we need results but that's up to the players in the squad to make that happen too.

"We have that spirit back under the new manager and that counts for a lot because if you have confidence, it's easier to achieve success.

"You have seen in the past what some of the players here can do - there's no reason why we can't do it again."

Since recovering from injury, Agger has started all five of Liverpool's games since Dalglish took over at the helm - and he remains adamant he sees his future at Anfield.

The defender added: "I don't see why I shouldn't see my immediate future here because I have three or so years left on my contract and I intend to fulfil that.

"I believe in the club and like the city, so why should I look anywhere else?"

Every time I see an Agger thread bumped, I always fear the worst. It's essential he remains fit for the rest of the season.

Well in Dan, just keep faith your ability and don't let the clogger grind you down!

Daniel Agger has handed Liverpool a boost by insisting he sees his future at the club now he is playing again under Kenny Dalglish.
Defender Agger appeared set to quit the Reds when he was ignored by previous boss Roy Hodgson, and was linked with a move to Juventus.
But now the Danish international is happy after being recalled by new boss Dalglish and can see himself staying at Anfield long-term.
"I see my future at Liverpool for sure," he said. "I have three years left on my contract so if that’s long-term then definitely! I’m happy here.”
Agger's prospects have been boosted by Dalglish's decision to play with three centre-backs in some games.
"I think I've done well alongside Jamie Carragher, Martin Skrtel and also Kyrgiakos. We've played some really good games with three at the back and there is now great competition in defence.
"There's a new atmosphere at Liverpool under Kenny Dalglish and he's been the key. It's a good place to be now."

I think I read earlier mate that he'll have a late fitness test.

No idea where I saw it though!

[Drago]

The guys ****ing brittle. Not Aurellio brittle but he's not far behind.

I don't think he's ever going to stay fit for a prolonged period tbh.

Thanks mate.

It really didn't seem to be a serious challange and still he limped off the pitch.

I hope he'll be available for WH game.

[Roboklopp]

Very bad business.

[RedReet]

In our last 12 games Agger has played 6 times and we've kept a clean sheet every time. In the other 6 we have conceded in 4 of the matches only keeping clean sheets against Braga and Sparta Prague. Who says he can't defend?

Excellent again today and we desperately need to keep him and Suarez fit for the remainder of the season.

[Mostar]

Top 2 defenders in PL when fit.

Keep him healthy is like signing Vidic.

[Shaggy]

Pure class today. Keeping him fit is imperative.
