During the talkSPORT programme, Agbonlahor spoke about the incident where Bellingham expressed dissatisfaction upon being substituted.
Agbanlahor remarked: "I reckon Tuchel needs to sit him down again and tell him, 'Listen, there are certain people in the media who've got it in for you. They'll find fault with everything you do. So when I take you off... again in the 80th minute... don't just throw your hands up in frustration.'"
"Let's not make a mountain out of a molehill like some people do. Keep calm."
"People will pick on Bellingham for minor things... It's not exactly headline news. He didn't have his best game, yet he still got man of the match."
"I don't think it's a big deal, nor does it warrant front-page headlines."
"Let's celebrate a top-class performance from a player who has minor areas for improvement – like not throwing his hands up – but we're being overly critical. Let's just leave it at that and give him a break."
