'What an insult!' - Awoniyi supporters slam Liverpool boss Klopp over comments

Taiwo Awoniyi supporters have hit back at Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp who hinted the Nigeria international didn't fit in at his club, which is why he was sold.

The 25-year-old Nottingham Forest attacker was sold by the Reds to Bundesliga side Union Berlin last season. He flourished in Germany, scoring 15 goals in the process to help his former team seal a European qualification.

He was subsequently signed by Forest at the start of the season and on Saturday, he scored the only goal as his team defeated Liverpool by a solitary goal.

In his post-match interview, Klopp suggested Awoniyi was not right for Liverpool and that he has now found a club better for him

"He had a sensational development. He has arrived where he belongs and I am happy for him, but not [Saturday] so much."

Many fans, though, were not pleased with Klopp's comments.
