AGGER READY TO TAKE SAMI OUT

Agger is hoping this season he will make his mark

Daniel Agger's performance in the Community Shield alongside Jamie Carragher may be the start of a beautiful friendship. Especially if Agger gets his way.

After suffering from countless injuries last season and even in the pre-season this year, Rafa stood by his man and gave him a start at Cardiff. Agger himself was delighted:

"It was a bit of a surprise to be selected, but that's what I'm here for. Although it was a surprise I was ready," said Agger.

"I wasn't thinking about the fact I was playing against Shevchenko, all I thought about was the game. To be playing made me happy so I was determined to do my best.

"I think I've been unlucky since I moved to Liverpool because of injuries, but you just have to get on with it. Now I'm moving on and will keep working.

"I've always felt a lot of confidence in my ability. I believe in myself and I know what I can and can't do.

"Now I hope this is a new start and the bad luck I've had is in the past."
