Liverpool fans react on Twitter to Jordon Ibe performance v Man City
By Dominic Toner
Bournemouth attacker Jordon Ibe played 76minutes in the 2-0 defeat against Manchester City on Monday night – and Liverpool supporters reacted on Twitter to his performance, saying their club was right to sell him.
The 21-year-old winger was unable to prevent Eddie Howe’s side losing 2-0 at home to Man City, as they continued to drop closer towards the relegation battle.
Ibe completed his move to the Cherries in the summer from Liverpool in a club record £15million deal.
The Englishman made 58 senior appearances for the Merseyside club, but moved away from Anfield to pursue regular first-team football.
Liverpool fans feel that their club has been vindicated over the move as they don’t think he’s improved.
Here is a selection of their messages on Twitter:

Ibe has endured a frustrating time since his move to Bournemouth and has been unable to find any sustained form.
The attacker has made 20 appearances across all competitions and is yet to register a goal or an assist.
He is not assured of a starting position in the side and manager Howe will be keen for him to start repaying the £15million fee.
Meanwhile, Liverpool decided they had enough attacking options in their squad to let Ibe leave after adding Sadio Mane to their ranks from Southampton.
