The 27-year-old didn’t cover himself in glory for Liverpool this afternoon.
Many Liverpool fans on Twitter are slating Joel Matip.
Liverpool beat Burnley 4-2 at Anfield this afternoon and it was anything but a walk in the park for the Reds, who moved back to within a point of Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Ashley Westwood fired the Clarets ahead inside six minutes on Merseyside after Matip needlessly conceded a corner.
The former Schalke centre-back, who earns £100,000 per week on Merseyside [Spotrac], had other hairy moments in the game too.
And quite a lot of Liverpool fans on Twitter are suggesting that manager Jurgen Klopp get rid of him this summer.
Liverpool rallied and Klopp’s side led at the half-hour mark after responses from Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane, before the Brazilian made it 3-1 on 67 minutes.
Johann Gudmundsson set up a nervy finale by reducing the arrears in stoppage time, but Mane also grabbed a second afterwards.
Matip is a good central defender but he is also somewhat prone to moments of madness, but the good news is that Joe Gomez is slowly but surely nearing a return to full fitness.
