Liverpool fans have turned on one of their own after the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City, demanding that the player be sold when the January transfer window opens.<\/p>\n
Arne Slot\u2019s side endured a miserable afternoon at the Etihad, as Pep Guardiola marked his 1000th game in management with a comfortable victory.<\/p>\n
Erling Haaland opened the scoring in the 29th minute, making up for his earlier missed penalty against stand-in keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. A Premier League statement later confirmed that a disallowed Liverpool goal was correctly ruled offside, with Andy Robertson deemed to have obstructed the goalkeeper\u2019s view.<\/p>\n
City extended their lead through Nico Gonzalez before Jeremy Doku\u2019s stunning strike sealed the win in the second half.<\/p>\n
While the entire Liverpool team struggled, much of the post-match anger from fans was directed toward Ibrahima Konat\u00e9. The French defender has faced growing criticism in recent weeks amid reports suggesting he could leave on a free transfer at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
One frustrated fan wrote: \u201cReplace Konat\u00e9 in January, he looks disinterested and his head\u2019s already in Madrid.\u201d
\nAnother added: \u201cKonat\u00e9 needs to go. His passing is poor, his decisions are shocking, and he\u2019s lost all strength.\u201d<\/p>\n
A third comment read: \u201cCan we book Konat\u00e9\u2019s ticket to Madrid in January? Gomez can handle the rest of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Others were even more scathing, with one saying: \u201cWhen Konat\u00e9 makes one mistake, ten more follow. He\u2019s a complete liability.\u201d Another joked: \u201cIf Madrid sign Konat\u00e9 for free, we\u2019ve robbed them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
