Tension at Anfield as Fans Turn on Two Liverpool Stars After Sunderland Stalemate đłđŽ

Liverpoolâs 1-1 draw with Sunderland has sparked another wave of frustration across the fanbase â and this time, two players are at the centre of the storm.
With the defending champions slipping to 8th place after 14 matches, supporters are beginning to lose patience as results continue to fall short under Arne Slot.
Sunderland struck first through Chemsdine Talbi, whose long-range strike beat Alisson after taking a heavy deflection off Virgil van Dijk. Liverpool did level moments later when Florian Wirtzâs effort ricocheted into the net â though the Premier League later ruled it as a Nordi Mukiele own goal.
But while points were shared on the pitch, the anger online went in only one direction.
Fans singled out Ibrahima KonatĂ© for another shaky performance â just days after reports suggested Real Madrid had cooled their interest in signing him for free next summer.
Comments poured in during the game:
âI donât know what planet KonatĂ© is on this season.â
âSome of the things heâs doing out there⊠unbelievable.â
KonatĂ© recently responded to criticism from Jamie Carragher, insisting he will âfight through the storm,â but supporters werenât convinced.
He wasnât alone either.
Joe Gomez also found himself on the receiving end of brutal fan reactions, with some calling for both defenders to be dropped immediately.
One furious supporter wrote:
âIâm embarrassed watching Gomez. Get him and KonatĂ© out of the squad.â
Another joked:
âAt this point, let Salah play right-back instead of Gomez.â
The mood around Anfield continues to darken â and patience might just be running out. âđ„

Pressure Mounts on Arne Slot After Heavy Forest Defeat đŹđ„
Liverpoolâs troubles didnât begin with the Sunderland draw â and the warning signs were flashing weeks earlier.
Following a shocking 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, the reigning champions slipped to 11th place, leaving many fans openly questioning whether Arne Slot should continue in charge.
The Reds have now endured a nightmare run, losing eight of their last 11 games across all competitions and suffering five defeats in their last six Premier League outings.
Despite the outcry, former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes Slot has earned time after winning the title last season.
âHe deserves patience after what he achieved,â Redknapp insisted, noting the emotional impact of Diogo Jotaâs tragic passing and the challenges of integrating new signings.
Slot himself has taken full responsibility for the slump, admitting his tactical decisions âdidnât workâ and that the team is stuck in a âvery bad spell.â
Still, with a Champions League match looming and pressure rising every week, the Dutchman knows the spotlight is only getting hotter. đ„đ
