Adam Lallana incurred the wrath of Liverpool fans today.
Liverpool beat Fulham at Craven Cottage today to move top of the Premier League.
But the three points wasn’t enough to see some Reds players escape criticism from fans of the Merseyside club.
Quite a few of Jurgen Klopp’s side simply didn’t turn up and the same might be true of Adam Lallana.
The 30-year-old has been outstanding for Liverpool in recent games, but the former Southampton star, a £25 million signing in 2014 [BBC Sport], took a backwards step today.
Lallana, subbed by Klopp on 72 minutes, wasn’t able to influence things as he did against Burnley and Bayern Munich over the past week.
Here is how some fans reacted to his display:
It looked for a while like Klopp’s side might be held by the Cottagers, who equalised on 74 minutes when former Liverpool man Ryan Babel cancelled out Sadio Mane’s first-half opener.
But James Milner, who replaced Lallana, slotted home an 81st-minute penalty as the visitors moved two points clear of second-placed Manchester City.
