When you get off to a bad start against one of the competition's weaker opponents, it is only natural that the fans in the stands start to get impatient and the complaints echo around the Anfield ground, appealing for every play and every mistake from a team that was unable to fully recover from a 1-0 deficit after just four minutes of the game.

The complaints echoed until they reached the ears of Brazilian midfielder Fabinho Tavares, who after witnessing how the Kop fans complained about the bad decisions made by his teammate Harvey Elliott when he lost a ball in dispute, the Reds' number 3 went towards them to ask them with a wave of his arms to shout encouragement and not anger towards his teammates.

This type of act by a sector of the fans highlights the bad moment that the Merseyside team is going through, as the constant errors in the defensive sector and having to start several games this season with the disadvantage, have been one of the triggers for which today the Reds fans are angry against their players, including Fabinho Tavares, who did not have a good first half at all.

Although it was Elliot who had to receive all the anger from the fans at Anfield, from the comments on social networks the criticism is directed at anyone who is seen making a mistake on the pitch, talking much more about the attacking sector who have not been able to do more than score the partial equaliser, with Darwin Núñez, Roberto Firmino, Harvey Elliot and Thiago Alcántara being questioned, with Mohamed Salah being the architect of the 1-1 draw.

Fabinho calmed the fans

While despair is starting to overwhelm Jürgen Klopp and his players, Reds fans are even more upset with the situation, as losing to the bottom of the table and taking a poor result against the second-bottom of the table is not an example of a team looking to turn around a negative situation and fight for the top places in the table.
