Liverpool fans took to Twitter to slam Jordan Henderson for his performance in the 3-3 draw against Sevilla.
Fans were fuming with the captain, in particular, after watching their side drop a comfortable 3-0 lead to end up drawing 3-3.
A win against Sevilla would have confirmed the Reds’ entry into the knockout stages of the Champions League with a game to spare.
Instead, Liverpool now need to earn a point in their final Champions League group game against Spartak Moscow on December 6.
While the Reds’ ability to concede three goals in the second half led to the team’s defence being questioned, in particular Alberto Moreno, fans were not letting Henderson off for his part in Sevilla’s comeback.
The midfielder won no tackles, making five fouls in the process, and only had a pass accuracy of 55% in the game.

The 27-year-old has been a regular for the Reds this season, featuring 17 times across all competitions, scoring one goal and registering two assists.
Out of the 12 league games Liverpool have played, Henderson has only missed two. He was on the bench for the 1-1 draw with Burnley and did not feature in the emphatic win against West Ham through injury.
The England international has been at the Reds since 2011 after moving from boyhood club Sunderland, and is contracted to stay until 2020.
Here are some of the best reactions to the 27-year-old’s performance:
Henderson is a disgrace to our club. The game completely bypassed him again tonight. Offers absolutely nothing. Can't tackle, can't pass and just moans at other players. How you can take off Coutinho and leave Henderson on I'll never know. Great first half, terrible second. #LFC

This DM position made up 10-15 years ago for limited midfielders, the easiest part of football is breaking up play/defending so any half decent centre mid should be able to play there, sadly Henderson can't not one tackle made last night #pathetic #lfc

Core of the problem is Henderson.. as a captain and a leader he isn't good enough.. I personally don't think he is a good enough player for #LFC full stop..

Please forgive me if you don't share the same opinion but Henderson is one of our major problems. Having that captaincy means he can't be benched when fit and that's hella foul. #LFC

Henderson needs to be replaced. #lfc

#LFC A lot of criticism for Moreno but I have to ask how Henderson maintains his place. Positionally awful, runs around like a headless chicken and leaves gaping holes in midfield. Never seen such a poor player and captain. He has to be replaced.

#LFC Adam Lallana Need to start against Plastics and Fraud henderson should be sent back to Sunderland
