Former Premier League football Gabriel Agbonlahor has renewed his war of words with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, labelling him a "petulant child" after hitting back at Dietmar Hamman's comments.
Klopp and the now talkSPORT pundit become embroiled in a feud, earlier in the campaign, when the German took the opportunity to address Agbonlahor's comments on Manchester United following their defeat to Brentford.
The Reds have been slow out of the blocks this season and find themselves 14 points off the pace in the Premier League. In Europe, they find themselves sitting second behind Napoli - who ran out 4-1 winners against Liverpool in the group opener.

Speaking ahead of their reverse fixture against Glasgow Rangers, Klopp reacted when asked of his thoughts on the 2005 Champions League winners comments of his side looking 'tired, pedestrian and flat'.
Hamman, who is also on talkSPORT, was defended by the former Aston Villa attacker. Agbonlahor claimed that the 55-year-old is "cracking under pressure".
Speaking on talkSPORT Breakfast, he said: "I thought it [Jurgen Klopp's comments] was like a petulant child, Didi Hamman won the Champions League for Liverpool, had a fantastic career, if he can't talk about Liverpool then who can?
"Is it maybe only Robbie Fowler, Ian Rush, Steven Gerrard, is it only certain players who can talk about Liverpool? I think he's losing his spark, Jurgen Klopp, he's cracking under the pressure.
"Bringing your best player, most influential player, Mo Salah off, when you need a goal against Arsenal. Something's not right there with Jurgen Klopp and it happened with previous clubs where his seventh season seemed to be his last one.
"Could it come to the end of the season where Liverpool don't finish in the top four - because I don't think they will - that Jurgen Klopp leaves and Liverpool freshen it up? You can't keep making wrong make decisions as he's doing and snapping at the media, I mean it was a perfectly honest question.
"They need a spark, whether it's Henderson getting a goal, Thiago creating an opportunity, Salah getting back to the Salah before his contract, that's a harmless thing for Hamann to say. To be hitting out at him and speaking to the reporter like Hamann is a nobody.
"Even having a go at me when I was talking about a different team. I think Jurgen Klopp is losing it and he needs to working on getting his team back to playing good football."
