Gabby Agbonlahor has taken fresh aim at Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp after their defeat at Nottingham Forest.

With Klopp's side continuing to lose ground on their league rivals - already 11 points behind leaders Arsenal - Agbonlahor has ripped into the German's label of a "mentality monster".

Speaking on TalkSport's Gameday Phone-In, former Aston Villa captain Agbonlahor said: "Where do you start with Liverpool?

"First of all, Fabio Carvalho doesn't look like he's Premier League quality. He doesn't look ready, he needs another season out on loan. He struggled, he's not influenced the game, he looked non-existent. Harvey Elliott played well, but Curtis Jones struggled. These are talented kids but right now Liverpool need players to turn up.

"Fabinho's legs have gone. His idea of a sprint is like a walk at the moment. Liverpool have got a lot of problems. Roberto Firmino is inconsistent, Mohamed Salah was poor today, and Joe Gomez, he has two decent games and everyone is saying he can go to the World Cup, but today he was awful again. So sloppy.

"Mr Mentality Monster, Jurgen, five games away from home without a win this season – can he only get them up for home games at a full Anfield?

"Can he not get his 'mentality monster' team up for away games? Because today was shocking from Liverpool. Every player apart from Alisson was below a five out of 10 today."
