Liverpool fans angrily scolded the team s first defender for performing poorly!

In the early morning of October 1, 2025, Liverpool lost to Galatasaray 0-1 away in the second round of the Champions League group stage, and suffered the second defeat in the past week (previously lost to Crystal Palace in the Premier League), and the team's morale suffered a heavy blow. After the game, Reds fans pointed their finger at central defender Ibrahim Connat and questioned the performance of new aid Florian Werz.

Konat was bombarded by fans: "He is no longer as good as the Lovren era." In the 16th minute of the game, Sabitz made a foul in the penalty area and gave a point. Osmeen took the penalty and took the lead for Galatasaray. In the second half, Osmeen got another one-on-one opportunity. Although Alisson saved it, the Brazilian goalkeeper was injured and left the field after the save, and was forced to appear as a substitute by Mamaldashvili.

Although Slot replaced Salah and Isaac in the 62nd minute to try to counterattack, the offense was still weak and he failed to equalize the score.

What makes fans even more angry is the sluggish performance of central defender Konath. He lost position many times on the defensive end, lacked aggressiveness in the confrontation, and his overall condition was far from expected. After the game, criticisms were everywhere on social media:

"I have completely lost patience with Connate."

"He is no different from Lovren at that time."

"He is outdated. If he cannot renew his contract, he should sit on the bench until the future decides."

Connate's contract with Liverpool will expire at the end of this season, and he is currently rumored to be a potential target for Real Madrid. However, with such a performance, his future stay or stay has become a question.

Akgon played with Werz in one match, and fans mocked: "008 Agent" was well-known

Just 2 minutes into the game, Galatasaray made a wonderful attack: after receiving the ball in the midfield, 25-year-old Turkish international Yanas Akgon faced the siege of Florian Werz and two other Liverpool players, calmly completed the stop, turn around, and change direction breakthrough, easily got rid of Werz's defense, and then sent out an accurate pass to assist teammates in a single shot.

Although this attack was ultimately not converted into a goal, Akgon's series of personal technical performances, especially the "textbook-like extraordinary" of Werz, instantly detonated the Internet.

This scene made fans who were already skeptical of Wilz's performance even more dissatisfied with fans, and they mocked on social media:

"Wilz is like a newcomer who just came on the court."

"He is Liverpool's 'new Sancho'?"

"Wilz is an agent of 008 - 0 goals and 0 assists in 8 games."

"I can't even read the name correctly, and I still expect him to save the offense?"

However, the data shows that Wilz was not without contribution in this game: he touched the ball 57 times in the game, had 82% success rate, sent two key passes, and made three passes successfully, completing one of two long passes, and had three shots, and his performance was actually quite comprehensive.

But football is a result-oriented sport. Although Werz's personal data is acceptable, the team's continuous losses, coupled with the "famous scene" that was easily passed by his opponent this time, makes him unable to survive the criticism of public opinion.

Losing to Crystal Palace and Galatasaray in succession, exposing the serious problems of Liverpool on both ends of the offense and defense: weak front line (Isaac only touched the ball 4 times in 30 minutes), unstable defense (Konat continues to be sluggish), and slow integration of key players (Wilz did not meet expectations). Next, they will face a serious schedule - away against Chelsea and then host Manchester United at home.
