Agger Frustated By New Style Of Play

Daniel Agger has admitted that
he is frustrated by Roy
Hodgson's style of play at
Liverpool.
The attack-minded defender will
be eager to forget his brief
cameo at Old Trafford yesterday
after failing to prevent the cross
that led to Dimitar Berbatov's winning goal just two
minutes after he had replaced
Paul Konchesky at left-back.
Agger, who was also left out of
the starting line-up against
Birmingham City last weekend,
has lifted the lid on his
frustrations behind Hodgson's approach to games and
has refused to alter his natural
game despite fears that it could
see him overlooked for a
regular place in the side.
"The manager's philosophy is
that we play football in attack,
but not at the back. That's not
my style," he told Sporten.dk
''I'm not that type of player. I
like to keep the ball on the
ground, and that's what I'll
keep doing. Time will show if he
[Hodgson] doesn't want to play
me because of that".
"I'll try to change myself, but I
will never be a player who
offloads the ball at every
opportunity."
"I'll fight for my chance. I know
what I stand for, and I think he
[Hodgson] does too".
