Gary Cahill? Nope. Simon Mignolet? Think again.
Plenty of players from both sides during Liverpool vs. Chelsea failed to deliver.
Cahill was poor in the heart of Chelsea's defence, while Mignolet was at fault for the visitors eventual equaliser.

But Cahill and Mignolet weren't singled out by Rio Ferdinand and Frank Lampard.
While Cahill and Mignolet produced an awful performance during the draw at Anfield, it was Tiémoué Bakayoko who was subject to even more intense criticism.
"If I was Gary Cahill out there, I'd be screaming at Bakayoko. Defensively he's been an absolute disgrace today," Ferdinand said on BT Sports via Metro.

Ferdinand added: "He's doing nothing. He's letting people run off him and he's leaving Gary Cahill isolated. They're letting the ball be rolled into Salah every time the ball comes in from the right-hand side.
"Lacklustre, especially when they didn't have the ball. I don't know what he is at the moment. 'He's very athletic in terms of his build but I don't see him upping his game pace wise at any point in the game. I'm not sure what kind of midfielder he is.
Lampard also weighed in. Just like Ferdinand, the Chelsea hero wasn't impressed of the Frenchman's display.
"He's not affecting anybody going forward, he's not getting tight and he's not protecting Cahill or Alonso. At the minute he's playing at 50-60 per cent. Sometimes he needs to sprint and put people under pressure.

Bakayoko, who joined from AS Monaco in the summer, received a shitload of abuse from social media, too. Here's some of the reaction:
