Agbonlahor feuds with Klopp by posting Villa's 2014 win at Anfield

Gabby Agbonlahor continues war of words with Jurgen Klopp by tweeting a picture of Aston Villa’s 2014 win at Anfield… after the Liverpool boss called out the ex-winger’s ‘unbelievable’ criticism of Man United

  • Gabby Agbonlahor slammed United on talkSPORT after their loss to Brentford 
  • Jurgen Klopp called his comments ‘unbelievable’ and questioned his ability
  • The winger has hit back with an image of him celebrating a winner at Anfield 
  • Liverpool will face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Monday night 

Former Aston Villa star Gabby Agbonlahor has hit back at Jurgen Klopp after the Liverpool boss slammed the winger’s attack on Manchester United.

Agbonlahor tweeted a picture of himself wheeling away in celebration after scoring in Aston Villa’s 0-1 win at Anfield in 2014 with the caption: ‘Flashback Friday – mentality to win 1-0 at Anfield.’

It came after Klopp slammed the former Villa star in his pre-match press conference ahead of their clash with Manchester United.

‘Gabby Agbonlahor – he lost against us 6-0 in my first year and I couldn’t remember him as a mentality monster on the pitch but what he said about United on that show…I was close to calling in and telling him you forgot completely you have been a player,’ Klopp said, in a rare example of the Liverpool manager defending United.

‘It was unbelievable (what he was saying) and if ex players are already going like this you can imagine where everything else is going.’

The Liverpool boss said Agbonlahor’s rant about the Red Devils was ‘unbelievable’

The feud began after United’s 4-0 loss to Brentford when Agbonlahor told talkSPORT: ‘This is not Manchester United. If I was them now after this game I’d be thinking, “You know what, ten Hag, just pack up”. He’s had pre-season and they have started the season as a shambles, they’re like strangers on the pitch. 

‘They’re just not good enough. It’s a shambles kit, shambles club at the moment. 

‘I’ve been hammering United and people are saying I’ve got an agenda against Manchester United – no, I’m speaking facts that real Manchester United fans will agree with.’

Agnonahor’s dig about scoring at Anfield, albeit in a game that predated Klopp’s arrival at Liverpool, appears to be the latest episode in their public spat.

Klopp had been speaking prior to Liverpool’s trip to Old Trafford, where Liverpool will hope to get their season up-and-running. 

Liverpool are currently winless after two games and are without an obvious striker for the game after injuries to Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino and a three-match ban for Darwin Nunez.
