Liverpool Fans Turn on Star After Galatasaray Defeat
Liverpool’s Champions League hopes took a heavy blow in Istanbul as they slumped to a 1-0 defeat against Galatasaray — but it wasn’t VAR or refereeing decisions in the firing line this time. Instead, the fury of supporters has landed squarely on one of their own players, who many fans have branded “completely useless.”
A Night to Forget
The under-fire star endured a nightmare display on the European stage, with costly errors and a lack of composure that left the Reds exposed. His performance quickly became the main talking point after the final whistle, overshadowing the efforts of teammates who tried to salvage something from the game.
One furious fan summed up the mood bluntly:
“Liverpool should sell him in January. He offers nothing to this team. We’ve given him chance after chance, and he keeps letting us down.”
Fan Patience Snaps
Social media erupted with calls for immediate action, with phrases like “dead weight,” “waste of money,” and “not Liverpool standard” trending across X (formerly Twitter).
Another angry supporter wrote:
“This is not Liverpool level. If we want to compete in Europe, players like this cannot remain in the squad.”
The verdict from the fanbase is clear: patience has completely run out.
Bigger Problems for Arne Slot
The defeat not only dents Liverpool’s hopes of topping their group but also highlights deeper cracks in the squad. While the likes of Chiesa and Wirtz tried to lift the team, the spotlight kept swinging back to the struggling player whose mistakes made Liverpool vulnerable.
Even manager Arne Slot admitted afterwards that “individual errors” were decisive, though he stopped short of singling anyone out.
January Reckoning Looms
With the transfer window fast approaching, pressure is mounting on FSG and Slot to act decisively. Injuries have already stretched the squad thin, but fans insist that clinging to players who repeatedly underperform is a bigger risk than letting them go.
Conclusion
Liverpool’s night in Istanbul was painful on the scoreboard — but even more brutal for the player at the center of fan anger. Once seen as a potential future star, he now looks to be on the edge of the Anfield exit door.
For supporters, the message is unanimous: enough is enough.
