Gabby Agbonlahor has fired back at Jurgen Klopp after the Liverpool manager got personal in criticism of his punditry during Friday’s press conference.
The unlikely war of words between the former Aston Villa striker and Liverpool boss has its roots in the comments Agbonlahor made following Manchester United ’s 4-0 thrashing by Brentford last weekend. Speaking on talkSPORT, he branded United's players "amateur" and their performance against the Bees "a shambles" before declaring they look "like strangers on the pitch".
With Liverpool preparing to head to Old Trafford on Monday for a Premier League game, Klopp took the unusual route of defending his opponents in a pre-match press conference. Having caught Agbonlahor’s scathing analysis on the radio, he felt compelled to push back against it.
