Former Liverpool defender Dan Agger admits he was no fan of Roy Hodgson.

Despite Hodgson's extensive experience in managing clubs and countries around the world, Agger - who retired this summer at Brondby having spent eight years at Liverpool - told The Guardian he was less than impressed with his training methods at Anfield.

“I completely lost my desire to come to work because his training sessions were really hard to get through - not physically but mentally," he said. "It was the same and the same and the same. Day in and day out.

“Often we had eight forwards playing against me and Martin Skrtel [apparently to let Fernando Torres score to regain his confidence].

"Skrtel and I had a really hard training session as we were defending against eight with two but the eight players attacking were just faffing around.

"They had hardly run a kilometre and it was so uninspiring."
