Liverpool defender Dan Agger admits they haven't been good enough in the opening weeks of the season.

He feels the continuation of the hard work they're putting in at Melwood will soon begin to pay dividends.

"Overall we didn't play well enough," he reflected to liverpoolfc.com. "We gifted them two easy goals and didn't score any ourselves. You can't win a game if you do that.

"Nothing is easy to fix. Not in football and not in life. But we are working on the manager's ideas every single day, so hopefully we can get better and better during the course of the season."
