Agbonlahor: Liverpool squad has mid-table depth

Former Aston Villa captain Gabby Agbonlahor has questioned the depth of Liverpool's squad.

Agbonlahor believes they are behind the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea, labelling their squad a mid-table one.

Liverpool are still a top team too but any injuries and they're in big trouble because their bench is like a 10th-place team's bench,' he told talkSPORT.

Jurgen Klopp against Chelsea looked at his subs and saw Naby Keita, Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain and Takumi Minamino and brought on Kosta Tsimikas for Andy Robertson. That was his last change when he needed to win the game.

“With those sort of players on the bench, especially Chamberlain and Minamino, you thought you'd bring them on against Chelsea when you need a goal and they have 10 men behind the ball. For me, Liverpool's bench will cost them."
