Chris Kirkland has revealed that one of the reasons he was keen to join West Bromwich Albion was because of friction between him and Liverpool goalkeeping coach JosZ Ochotorena.

At the end of last season Kirkland said he was told by Rafael Benitez that he was "surplus to requirements" so the hunt for new employers began. Because of his injury problems the only serious options came from clubs willing to take him on loan and that's why he signed for West Brom on a season-long deal.
Kirkland revealed: "I was in the gaffer's office and he said they were bringing another goalkeeper in and that it would be best if I went somewhere else. I felt I needed to do that anyway. I thought I needed a change and to get back to enjoying my football, because I wasn't enjoying it.
"I wasn't happy with my form when I was playing for Liverpool, though there were a few things contributing to that. One was the back and the other was that I wasn't too happy with the training. I had a problem with the goalkeeper coach. It was nothing personal but his methods were a lot different to those Joe Corrigan used when he was at Liverpool."
