Daniel Agger claims he was not appreciated at Liverpool by Brendan Rodgers, with the defender saying he and the manager were "not on the same page" for most of last season.

Agger left Anfield for Brondby in a £3 million move this summer having failed to hold down a regular starting place last term. The defender, who spent eight years at the Merseyside club, told Danish television outfit TV3+ about what went wrong.

"Let me put it this way, the manager and me were perhaps not on the same page in all of last season. For most of last season at least," Agger said.

"There was much between us, and for me it was just enough. I felt that he didn't appreciate the things I could contribute. When I feel that, then it's time to move on.

"Where me and him maybe went wrong from each other, was that I'm very direct. I say things as they are, and so I also expect that people are the same to me. Maybe it's wrong to expect it sometimes."
