LIVERPOOL FANS ARE FURIOUS – It was their worst performance since Slot arrived and the finger has been pointed in one direction

LIVERPOOL FANS ARE OUTRAGED

It was their most disappointing performance since Slot took charge, and blame has been directed in a specific direction.

Liverpool Supporters Are Upset With One Player Following Crystal Palace Loss

After their team’s lackluster display in the 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace on Saturday, Liverpool fans have focused their criticism on one player.

The reigning 2024/25 Premier League champions arrived in south London with the assurance of maintaining a perfect record this season.

The Reds missed forward Hugo Ekitike, who was sent off during the League Cup third-round win against Southampton on Tuesday.

This absence compelled Liverpool head coach Arne Slot to field record signing Alexander Isak at Selhurst Park, but the Swede was unable to make a significant impact on the match.

Isak’s supporting teammates, Mohamed Salah, Florian Wirtz, and Dominik Szoboszlai, also failed to score against Oliver Glasner’s team, who dominated for much of the match thanks to Ismaila Sarr’s goal in the ninth minute.

Sarr’s strike marked his fifth goal in eight career matches against the Reds, and the Senegal international also has two assists against Liverpool.

However, Federico Chiesa managed to equalize for the visitors in the 87th minute.

Ultimately, Eddie Nketiah scored in stoppage time of the second half, securing a well-deserved 2-1 victory for the home team.

Despite Slot’s squad appearing ineffective in attack, fans also criticized a defender for his subpar performance, even though he was not on the field when the winning goal was scored.

Many fans expressed their dissatisfaction with centre-back Ibrahima Konate for his display against the Eagles.

The 26-year-old Konate played for 74 minutes before being substituted by Jeremie Frimpong as the Reds sought an equalizer.

Fans have voiced their opinions on social media.

One supporter remarked: “Konate is the worst player with the ball in this team, I don’t care what anyone says, but he must go.”

Another person commented: “Ibrahima Konate either has a streak of matches where he performs flawlessly or he loses his touch and becomes prone to mistakes. There’s no in-between, and it’s quite unsettling.”
