Sunderland fans were not impressed with the Liverpool loanee.
Liverpool had an incredible night last night but one Reds player had a bit of an evening to forget.
Young prospect Ovie Ejaria is on loan at Sunderland and he was selected to start their Championship game with Norwich City.
The Black Cats appear doomed for League One, currently adrift in the relegation zone, and patience is wearing thin at the Stadium of Light.
Ejaria was making the seventh start of his loan spell and his first for four games, but having him back in the side did not help Sunderland out.
He missed an early chance and really struggled in the first half, but manager Chris Coleman kept him on for all 90 minutes and he grew into the game.
Ejaria completed 93 per cent of his passes and created two chances, but only one of his three shots was on target.
With Sunderland heading for relegation, fans are a bit perplexed at why Ejaria is getting chances, instead believing they should now plan for the future and develop their own youth players.
Ejaria’s path at Liverpool appears blocked and Sunderland could have a chance of signing him permanently if they wanted to, but enthusiasm among supporters for that does not seem to be high.
