Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool have become known for exciting English Premier League matches with drama, controversy and goals at both ends almost assured every week.
In that sense, the opening day of the 2017/18 went as expected for the Reds, but for supporters it was a frustrating afternoon as they watched their side throw away two points with a 3-3 draw away to Watford on Saturday.
Marco Silva’s Hornets struck at the death to salvage a point after Mohamed Salah had looked to have scored the winning goal on his competitive debut for the Reds.
Watford had gone into the half-time break 2-1 up but goals from Roberto Firmino and Salah put Klopp’s team in a commanding position, which they held until Miguel Britos scored in injury time.
In truth Liverpool should have put the game to bed well before that, wasting plenty of second half chances before being punished.
Supporters were desperately disappointed with the performance, recognising the same old defensive frailties that plagued their season last term.
Fans took to Twitter to criticise who they perceived to be the worst performers with Joel Matip, Georginio Wijnaldum and Alberto Moreno getting the worst of it…
