Daniel Agger has vowed to win back his first team place. The Dane was dropped for Sunday's game with Birmingham, with the boss preferring the central defensive partnership of Jamie Carragher and Martin Skrtel with new boy Paul Konchesky at left-back. However, Agger is determined to win back his place, starting with the Europa League game against Steaua Bucharest tonight. "Obviously I wasn't happy because I want to play every game. It's not my decision but I have to accept it," he said. "I can be as angry as I want but it will never be my decision. Everybody says the same thing [in these situations] that you have to work hard and improve. "What I need to do is make sure I use the games that I do get at centre-back to show the boss that I want to play there and that I am good enough to play there. "There is no point sulking. You just have to go and prove yourself. I think it is fair enough to be disappointed. It's also fair enough to be angry. "You just don't show it. You can show it to yourself when you are at home. You can hit and kick things if you want. That's where you keep it. "But when you are at the club, you have got to behave and accept things as they are. If you have ambitions as a top footballer, you have to be competitive and you have to be disappointed."
