Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Sunderland has sparked fresh outrage among supporters, with many insisting that two first-team players should no longer be part of Arne Slot’s plans after another frustrating Premier League setback.
The result leaves the Reds drifting in mid-table, now sitting 8th after 14 matches, as crucial points continue to slip through their fingers.
Sunderland struck first when Chemsdine Talbi’s long-range effort—helped by a deflection off Virgil van Dijk—beat Alisson midway through the second half. Liverpool responded quickly, though, as Florian Wirtz saw his shot take a fortunate nick before finding the net.
But despite the comeback, fans were far from impressed.

Konaté Under Fire Again 🚨
Ibrahima Konaté, already the subject of heated debate in recent weeks, faced another wave of criticism throughout the match. His performance only added fuel to the fire after reports claimed Real Madrid have cooled their interest in signing him next summer.
One angry supporter vented:
“I don’t know what world Konaté is playing in this season, but it’s not this one.”
Another fumed:
“Some of the things Konaté is doing… unbelievable.”
Konaté recently addressed the criticism aimed at him and the team, writing on X:
> “We must face this moment head-on. Criticism is part of the game, and we will rise again.”

Joe Gomez Also Targeted 😬
Konaté wasn’t alone. Joe Gomez also found himself in the firing line as fans expressed their frustration.
One supporter blasted:
“Joe Gomez is the worst player I’ve watched in a Liverpool shirt. Embarrassing.”
Another said:
“Konaté and Gomez need to be taken out of the squad immediately.”
A third joked in frustration:
“At this point, I’d rather see Salah at right-back than Gomez.”
