Daniel Agger

Daniel Agger first half season at Liverpool saw injuries limit Daniel Agger to four first-team appearances during spring 2006. Daniel Agger played ten games and scored three goals for the Denmark under-21 national football team, for which Daniel Agger was selected to play in the 2006 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship tournament in May 2006.

At the start of the 2006-07 in English football, Agger played the full game as Liverpool won the 2006 FA Community Shield. Still adapting to the English game, Daniel Agger established himself in Liverpool's first team squad, competing with Liverpool vice-captain Jamie Carragher and former Finland national football team team captain Sami Hyypiä for the two starting places in the central defence. Agger scored Daniel Agger first goal for Liverpool on 26 August 2006 in a 2–1 win against West Ham United F.C.. Agger was allowed to run unchallenged toward the Spion Kop (stadia)-end goal and scored from out. Liverpool manager Rafael Benítez commented Daniel Agger was not surprised and that Agger has frequently scored such goals in training. The goal was named Goal of the Month (England) for August by the BBC's Match of the Day, and later Liverpool's Premiership Goal of the Season. On 4 October 2006 Daniel Agger was given Professional Footballers' Association fan award for impressive and solid displays in September.

Agger scored Daniel Agger second goal for the club in a Football League Cup away game against Birmingham City F.C. with a volley from close range in the seven minutes of first-half stoppage time. Daniel Agger third was against Arsenal scoring a header in a 4–1 victory played on 31 March 2007. In the first semi-final of the UEFA Champions League 2006-07, Agger received some criticism as Liverpool lost to Chelsea F.C. 1–0, after Chelsea striker Didier Drogba managed to dribble past Daniel Agger before making the assist to win the game. In the second leg of the semi-finals, Agger answered Daniel Agger critics by scoring another curler from a smartly-taken Steven Gerrard free-kick from just outside the penalty area, and helping Liverpool keep a clean sheet as the team beat Chelsea 1–0 on 1 May 2007. Agger stated after the match: "I am almost starting my career at Liverpool all over again". Agger was in the starting line up in Liverpool's first game of the season against Standard Liege in the champions league qualifiers. The game ended 0–0. Agger found himself sidelined the rest of August and much of September. Furthermore Daniel Agger was excluded from the squad against Man united. This led to rumours that Agger and Benítez were not happy with each other and that there had been a verbal fight amongst the two. However, Benítez insisted that there was no problem between Agger and himself.

After a month without playing Agger returned to the starting line up against Crewe Alexandra F.C. in the Carling Cup. Agger played the full 90 minutes and marked Daniel Agger return by scoring the first goal from a free kick outside the box. Liverpool won the game 2–1.

In part due to Škrtel's injury, Agger returned to the starting line up against Wigan for Daniel Agger first Premier League match of the season. Agger was, however, strongly involved in Wigan's first goal. Agger lost the ball to Zaki after a pass from Reina which led to Liverpool falling behind. Agger redeemed himself by setting up Dirk Kuyt for the equaliser. Liverpool eventually won the match 3–2. On April 11, 2009, Agger scored the third goal for Liverpool from 30 yards against Blackburn Rovers. Liverpool went on to win 4-0. Agger celebrated, like the others who had scored in the match, by pointing to the sky in memoriam to the Hillsborough disaster victims.

Agger has agreed terms on a four year deal (€80,000-a-week) which if fulfilled will see Daniel Agger remain with Liverpool F.C until at least 2014.
