Liverpool’ supporters have flooded to social media on Saturday evening, to make their frustrations clear with three members of the club’s squad.
Jurgen Klopp’s troops, of course, are currently locked in action.
Fresh off an alarming Champions League drubbing at the hands of Real Madrid in midweek, the Reds have made the trip to Selhurst Park, aware that nothing but a swift return to winning ways will suffice up against Crystal Palace.
To this point in south London, however, Liverpool have found themselves frustrated by a stout Palace outfit.
In fact, it is the evening’s hosts who have carved out the better of the opportunities in front of goal, having seen both Marc Guehi and Jean-Philippe Mateta come close.
SO CLOSE! 😰

With 45 minutes on the clock, in turn, it should come as little surprise to hear of the Liverpool faithful being up in arms online.
None, however, have been more widely condemned than the trio of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, and Naby Keita, with just some of the backlash from across Twitter showcased below:
Woeful 45 mins that, from back to front.
Matip, Trent, Keita probably the worst of the lot.
Somehow not behind. Probably the only positive. Hard to see we won’t be behind in the 2nd half unless we make changes to personnel and shape at half time. Five subs – use them.

Keita off before he’s sent off
Trent having a shocker
Matip should get an electric shock if he crosses halfway.
Shocking.#CRYLIV— Mr F 🇺🇦 (@funkymunkyf6mfc) February 25, 2023
We are laughably bad at the moment: Matip is a mess, Trent is tentative and error-prone…and if Keita comes out for the second half, I’ll know Klopp has lost his damn mind for sure!

Liverpool’s right flank has been frightfully poor. Trent and Matip need a reminding of the riot act and Keita has to be benched.
