Some Liverpool fans singled out midfielder Adam Lallana after his poor performance in the Reds’ shock defeat to Serbian minnows Red Star Belgrade this evening.
England international Lallana has recently made his long-awaited return from injury for the Reds but some fans have called for Lallana to be ‘sold’ after the attacking midfielder has failed to prove himself as a worthy rotation option to Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool went into halftime two goals down and despite looking better after the half time substitutions of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Daniel Sturridge for Roberto Firmino, the Reds still couldn’t manage to find a breakthrough in the second half.
The biggest shock of the evening was that Red Star striker Milan Pavkov stunned Klopp’s men by scoring a shock double in his first ever Champions League start.
Lallana was eventually put out of his misery by being brought off for Divock Origi, the fact that even Origi seemed like a better option than the former Southampton star says it all about how poor Lallana’s form is currently.
Check out reaction on Twitter from these Liverpool fans to Lallana’s performance:
When Lallana starts, we’re down to 10 men. It’s as simple as that.

I’m so sick of people telling me Lallana offers something. He’s fucking shit, but because he runs a lot he’s top shelf. Being bullied by a the Serbian Burnley. This is an abysmal performance. Absolutely fucking embarrassing this. Insipid.

Also sell Lallana at half-time. What a joke of a midfielder.

Adam Lallana, James Milner and Gini Wijnaldum won ZERO TACKLES in that first half. £90m on the likes of Fabinho and Naby Keita only to start this embarrassing lot in a crucial CL tie.
I've never been this angry in a long long time. Fix the fuck up.

Lallana will need to turn around his performances very soon or he risks being shown the exit door at Anfield.
