BREAKING: Andy Robertson fumes as James Milner sends Mohamed Salah message in Liverpool defeat
Moments you may not have spotted during Liverpool’s Champions League clash against Napoli on Wednesday
Liverpool’s rollercoaster season continued with a dreadful defeat at Italian side Napoli on Wednesday.
Luis Diaz found the target in the second half but it was mere consolation with Jurgen klopps side hammered 4-1. The result was the Reds heaviest defeat in Europe since losing 5-1 at Ajax in 1966.
But there was plenty that went unnoticed or under the radar during the 90 minutes at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Andy angered
The game was up long before the final whistle for Liverpool. And the frustration was already apparent in some of the players.
During one second-half attack, Andy Robertson – one of the very few Reds to find anything like his level – took possession on the left flank and, having waited and waited for some available forward options, instead was forced to turn back and find Virgil van Dijk back near the centre circle.
That the left-back then threw his hands in the air in sheer exasperation spoke volumes. You tell ’em, Andy.
Mo motivated
James Milner would be the first to admit he didn’t have the best of games by any stretch of the imagination. But that didn’t mean the skipper neglected his captaincy duties.
After Mohamed Salah was guilty of some continued poor control during a dismal first half, Milner went over to the despondent Egyptian and had a few words in an attempt to lift his spirits.
At least the duo could later continue their conversation at closer quarters on the bench given both were given the hook shortly after the hour.
