Liverpool started their Champions League title defence with a 2-0 defeat to Napoli on Tuesday night.
The Reds would have been looking to get their 2019/20 challenge off to a positive start in Naples – but the home side had other ideas as they recorded an impressive win.
Head coach Jurgen Klopp made two substitutions during the European affair – introducing Georginio Wijnaldum in the 66th minute before sending Xherdan Shaqiri onto the field with three minutes of regulation time left.
And the fact that Shaqiri was given minimal time to make an impression did not go down well with the Liverpool fans.
Napoli were only one goal ahead at the time of the change, but Fernando Llorente made it 2-0 in the 92nd minute to put the match beyond the reigning champions.

Shaqiri was never really given the opportunity to alter the outcome, though, and his late introduction did not go down well with the Merseyside club’s fans.
