Liverpool Superstar Right to Criticize Jurgen Klopp?

Benteke LFC Number 9Liverpool splashed huge sum to lure Christian Benteke in the summer transfer window under the management of Brendan Rodgers.
However, since the arrival of new boss Jurgen Klopp, the highly rated Belgian international has found himself in a complex scenario and mostly warms the bench.
The former Aston Villa striker has finally opened up and criticized Jurgen Klopp for the lack of game time (Mirror). Benteke claimed:

“He (Klopp) still tells me that I’m a striker who can do everything – score goals, hold-up the ball, play one-twos, heading.
“If I have that many variations in my game, why don’t I play? But, he makes the choices and I have to respect them.”


The Belgian international is already heading towards Liverpool exit (Football Insider) and these words can only act as a catalyst in his departure from Anfield.
The 25-year-old striker further claimed that he deserves more game time and even after lack of regular football he is Liverpool’s second highest goal scorer in PL.

“Despite the situation I find myself in, I’m the second-best goalscorer of the club, after [Roberto] Firmino, who has eight.”

Benteke last started a league game on 2nd January against West Ham. Since then he has averaged just over 15 minutes a game in the league. In 12 PL starts, Benteke has scored 7 goals for the Merseysiders.
Highly likely that Benteke will not be at Anfield next season, however, has he rightly criticized the manager for lack of game time?
