Liverpool’s defeat to **Crystal Palace** has triggered a storm of reactions — but none more explosive than that of club legend **Steven Gerrard**.
The former Reds captain didn’t hold back, blasting one player whose performance he described as **“unacceptable”** at the Premier League level.
### The Stats That Infuriated Gerrard
The unnamed Liverpool ace put up one of the worst individual displays in recent memory, with:
* **0% success rate in ground duels**
* Costly giveaways in dangerous areas
* A lack of fight when the team needed leadership most
Gerrard’s verdict was brutal:
*“He should never wear the Liverpool shirt again if that’s the level of fight he brings to a match like this.”*
### Fans Join the Outrage
Liverpool supporters echoed Gerrard’s anger, flooding social media with calls for **Arne Slot** to drop the player immediately. Some even suggested the club should look to offload him in the next transfer window.
One furious fan wrote:
*“We can’t fight for titles with passengers in this squad. Enough is enough.”*
### What This Means for Slot
Arne Slot now faces a huge decision. With the squad already hit by suspensions and injuries, can he afford to drop an experienced name — or will he risk losing the dressing room if he ignores Gerrard’s warning?
The pressure is mounting, and the spotlight is firmly on Liverpool’s next lineup.
