Liverpool supporters have urged the club to sell one player in January following his poor display at the Etihad.<\/p>\n
It was another miserable Premier League outing for Arne Slot\u2019s side, who suffered a 3-0 defeat to Pep Guardiola\u2019s Manchester City in what was the Spaniard\u2019s 1000th game as a manager.<\/p>\n
Erling Haaland broke the deadlock in the 29th minute, having earlier missed a penalty saved by stand-in goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. Liverpool briefly thought they had levelled through Virgil van Dijk, but the goal was ruled out after VAR confirmed Andy Robertson was offside and interfering with play.<\/p>\n
City doubled their advantage before halftime through Nico Gonzalez, and Jeremy Doku sealed the win with a stunning strike in the second half.<\/p>\n
While the whole team underperformed, fans were particularly critical of Ibrahima Konate\u2019s showing, with his recent form and reported links to a free transfer move to Real Madrid adding fuel to the frustration.<\/p>\n
One fan fumed: \u201cSell Konate in January, he looks disinterested\u2014his mind\u2019s already in Madrid.\u201d
\nAnother added: \u201cKonate needs to go. He can\u2019t pass, makes awful decisions, and plays with no strength.\u201d
\nA third quipped: \u201cCan we arrange transport for Konate to Madrid in January? Gomez can cover the rest of the season.\u201d
\nA fourth slammed: \u201cOnce Konate makes one mistake, more always follow. He\u2019s a liability.\u201d
\nOne supporter even joked: \u201cIf Madrid take Konate for free, we\u2019ve pulled off a heist.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
