Liverpool fans urge FSG to sell ‘completely useless’ player after Galatasaray nightmare…

Liverpool supporters are urging FSG to part ways with a ‘completely useless’ player following a disappointing match against Galatasaray.

Liverpool suffered their second consecutive defeat, having lost 2-1 to Crystal Palace before falling 1-0 to Galatasaray.

Hugo Ekitike was reinstated in Liverpool’s starting lineup, while Mohamed Salah was benched alongside Alexander Isak.

After the Premier League loss to Crystal Palace, Arne Slot made several changes in preparation for the match against Galatasaray.

Questions arose regarding Arne Slot’s strategies during the Galatasaray match, particularly as Dominik Szoboszlai was targeted early on, conceding a penalty that resulted in Galatasaray’s winning goal.

Victor Osimhen scored the decisive goal, continuing his remarkable form against English teams.

Liverpool fans expressed their frustration over Ibrahima Konate’s performance.

Alan Shearer criticized Liverpool’s defensive efforts, particularly highlighting the struggles of the Premier League champions.

Ibrahima Konate, in particular, drew the ire of Liverpool supporters due to his lackluster performance.

One fan urged FSG to sell the French defender, stating: “Liverpool should sell Konate in January.”

Another fan criticized Konate’s display and called for Slot to replace him, saying: “Konate has to be brought off, he’s not on it.”

Liverpool should sell Konate in January.

This player is increasingly becoming a liability for the team defensively.

I would sell Konate in January if it meant bringing in Guehi and another center-back. #GALLIV

Konate has to be substituted; he’s not performing well.

What does Gomez need to do to earn playing time? I’m not sure what’s going on with Ibou, but I hope it’s not related to Real Madrid.

“Please Liverpool, gift wrap Konate for Madrid,” one commenter suggested, while another remarked: “There’s no way Real Madrid or PSG have watched Konate this season and thought, ‘now there’s a defender we’d love to sign for £200k per week and a hefty signing bonus.’”

Please, Liverpool, wrap up Konate for Madrid; I’ll cover the shipping costs. Just make sure he leaves my club.

A portion of the fanbase has also criticized Konate for his lackluster performance in the Galatasaray box, stating: “Konate must be one of the worst headers of the ball.”

Konate must be among the least effective headers I’ve witnessed from someone of his stature.

— Hass

I understand that Konate is expected to be proactive, but he attempts to win every challenge and ends up conceding unnecessary fouls. It was similar to the situation with Calvert Lewin during the Goodison derby that Liverpool lost.

— John O’Sullivan

Konate is utterly ineffective.

Ibrahima Konate had a poor outing, but he’s not alone in that regard.

While Konate was indeed subpar against Galatasaray, he was one of several Liverpool players who underperformed.

Ryan Gravenberch was not at his best, losing possession multiple times, and Jeremie Frimpong’s crosses were lacking quality.

Successful dribbles: 0

Defensive contributions: 1

Ryan Gravenberch had a disappointing match.

As seen against Crystal Palace, Alisson was required to make several crucial saves for Liverpool in one-on-one situations.

Slot will be hoping that Konate can recover from his poor performance, especially since Liverpool is already short on center-backs after losing Giovanni Leoni this season.
