Arne Slot's side now face an uphill battle to advance from their Champions League quarter-final tie.
Liverpool host PSG at Anfield on Tuesday, March 14 as they bid to overturn their first leg deficit.
However, Agbonlahor has questioned whether the players are 'fighting' for their manager.
Their defeat in the French capital came just days after a crushing exit from the FA Cup on Saturday.

Meanwhile, talkSPORT co-host Agbonlahor also singled out the performance of forward Hugo Ekitike whilst discussing the PSG result.
The ex-Aston Villa forward analysed Liverpool's latest setback on Thursday's Sports Breakfast show alongside Alan Brazil.
He explained: "Ekitike was an absolute disgrace, and we’re big fans of him. He didn’t turn up, he didn’t try, he was lazy.
"Everytime he got one vs one, he’d give the ball away."
Ekitike started up front in a two-man attack alongside Florian Wirtz, but was unable to find the target on a frustrating evening.

The Frenchman was ultimately replaced by Cody Gakpo during the second half as part of a quadruple change made by Slot.
However, those alterations did not include Mohamed Salah, who was an unused substitute at the Parc des Princes.
It was a decision which stunned Agbonlahor, with teenager Trey Nyoni later being introduced ahead of Salah.
Has Slot lost the dressing room?
The former Aston Villa forward added he fears whether Slot still has the dressing room amid growing pressure on the Dutchman.
Slot, who won the Premier League in his first season in charge, has a year remaining on his current contract.
Agbonlahor continued: "Mo Salah not coming on, Al. They made five substitutions.

"Mo Salah didn’t even come on. A young lad came on before Mo Salah.
"It’s not looking good for Arne Slot. You’re starting to look at some of these players and you’re saying, ‘are you really fighting for the manager?’ It doesn’t look like it."
To which Brazil replied by saying: "I watched his [post-match] interview, and I just felt he knows his time is up, or is running out."
As well as their FA Cup and Champions League defeats, Liverpool have been out of sorts in the Premier League of late.
Prior to the international break, they failed to win three matches in a row in the competition.
Those results included defeats away to Wolves and Brighton, with their last win coming against West Ham United on February 28.

With seven matches remaining, they sit fifth ahead of Saturday's home meeting with Fulham.
