Gabby Agbonlahor has described Jurgen Klopp’s comments about his punditry “a bit strange” after the former Aston Villa striker and Liverpool manager were involved in a war of words.
The disagreement came after Klopp took issue with Agbonlahor’s assessment of Manchester United ’s 4-0 thrashing by Brentford. Agbonlahor said United's players were "amateur" and described their performance as "a shambles" before declaring they look "like strangers on the pitch" during a rant on talkSPORT.
Klopp happened to be listening to the comments live and decided to bring them up during his press conference before Liverpool travelled to Old Trafford on Monday. “Gabby…[Agbonlahor] he lost against us 6-0 in my first year, I couldn’t remember him as a mentality monster on the pitch,” he said. “What he said about United on that show, I was close to calling in. I was close to calling in and telling him, you forgot completely what it’s like to be a player. It was unbelievable! When ex-players go like this then you can imagine how everything else is going.”
