Gabby Agbonlahor bites back at Jurgen Klopp after Liverpool boss slammed pundit

Gabby Agbonlahor has fired back at Jurgen Klopp after the Liverpool manager slammed the talkSPORT pundit over his comments about Manchester United. The former Aston Villa striker criticised United after their 4-0 loss at Brentford on Saturday evening.

In his pre-match press conference, Klopp highlighted how he listened to talkSPORT on his drive home and 'almost phoned in' after comments made by Agbonlahor irritated the Liverpool boss.

Klopp referenced his Liverpool side beating Aston Villa 6-0 - a game that Agbonlahor played in - and spoke of how he didn't remember the forward being a 'mentality monster'.

The former Villa captain wrote: "Flashback Friday - mentality to win 1-0 at Anfield..."

What Agbonlahor failed to mention was that Brendan Rodgers was the manager of Liverpool during the match he has mentioned, not Klopp.

Klopp has faced Villa eight times as Liverpool manager, winning seven and losing only once.
