Liverpool’s 1-1 stalemate with Sunderland has sparked a storm of frustration — and two Reds defenders have suddenly found themselves at the center of a fierce fan backlash 😬🔴.
The drama began when Chemsdine Talbi’s long-range strike took an unfortunate deflection off Virgil van Dijk, wrong-footing Alisson and putting the visitors ahead in the 67th minute. Sunderland’s opener felt deserved… but their lead didn’t last long ⚡️.
Moments later, Florian Wirtz fired in what looked like a crucial equalizer — only for the Premier League to later rule it as a Nordi Mukiele own goal. Wirtz will have to wait a little longer for his first Liverpool strike 😮💨.
But while fans have grown used to disappointing nights this season, the reaction inside the Liverpool community after the match was far from calm. In fact, two players were singled out repeatedly… and the verdict from supporters was brutal 😳👇.

Konaté Under Fire Again
Ibrahima Konaté — already under scrutiny after rumours that Real Madrid have cooled their interest — faced a fresh wave of criticism.
One frustrated fan wrote:
🗣️ “Not sure what planet Konaté is on this season… but it’s definitely not Earth.”
Another added:
🗣️ “I don’t even understand some of the things he’s doing out there.”

Gomez Dragged Into the Storm
Joe Gomez didn’t escape either. Supporters were ruthless about his display:
🔥 “Joe Gomez is the worst player I’ve ever seen play for Liverpool… I’m embarrassed.”
🔥 “Get Gomez and Konaté out of the squad.”
And one fan even joked — painfully —
😅 “I’d rather have Salah at right-back than Gomez.”
