Liverpool fans ruthlessly slammed Joe Gomez following his defensive performance against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp's team were unable to build on from their big win over Manchester City last weekend as they suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Steve Cooper's side.
Former Liverpool player Taiwo Awoniyi scored the game's only goal as he converted from close range in the 55th minute.

The goal started with Gomez's error on the halfway line as he pulled down the eventual scorer.
The 25-year-old defender failed to replicate a similar performance to his last outing, where he starred against Man City and kept Erling Haaland quiet.
Liverpool fans made their feelings known over Gomez's abject showing at the back on social media.

As for Forest, they move off the foot of the table. But they remain in the relegation zone with 9 points to their name.
Speaking after the result, Klopp said: "I can explain the performance, but not the result.
"We have to finish our set-pieces - we had so many free players. Bobby, Virgil - they have to put the game to bed. The goal we conceded is a big mistake from us.

"We gave them all of their chances - we kept making the wrong passes. They closed the centre."
