Daniel Agger admits he is missing Liverpool FC more than he thought he would after leaving the club last summer.

The 30-year-old centre-half rejoined Brondby in August after spending eight years at Anfield where he amassed 232 appearances.

Agger was back in the city this week to watch the Reds game at home to Swansea City and the Dane spoke to LFC TV before the match.

“I miss it more than I expected,” Agger said.

“Just being back in Liverpool, in the city, has been good for me.

“I really miss it and after almost nine years of being here, it is good to be back.”

He added: “I’ve watched almost every game this season.

“It has been up and downs and the league position is not what we would’ve hoped for but the last few weeks have been a bit more positive.”

Agger featured 20 times in the league last season as Liverpool pushed Manchester City all the way in the title race.

Brendan Rodgers’ side have failed to reach those heights this term and Agger says the side “overachieved” last season.

“Losing Luis Suarez, losing your best player, is always going to be difficult for a team.

“And in my opinion, we maybe overachieved a bit last season. Everybody played a bit better than we might.

“Everything came up to a higher level and after the second place of last season, expectations go up and it’s always difficult.”
