What Liverpool fans did to Marc Guehi in defeat against Man City

Liverpool were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City in rather dramatic fashion.

The Premier League clash was held at Anfield and even though the Reds were the ones who opened the scoring, they couldn't stop the Cityzens from winning the game.

There were times when Liverpool were the the better of the two teams but, from the moment the game kicked off, it was Pep Guardiola's men who were in the driving seat.

The Reds' defence was at fault once again with Dominik Szoboszlai playing Bernardo Silva onside which allowed him to score the winner.

And, although Liverpool's games against City are usually fairly tense anyway, the fact that Marc Guehi and Antoine Semenyo were both chosen to start added an extra layer of intrigue to the outing.

As expected, the duo were among Guardiola's best performers with the Reds' fans letting the Englishman know how they felt about him stepping out for the Cityzens.

Liverpool fans made their feelings about Marc Guehi more than known

Guehi was supposed to be Liverpool's next Virgil van Dijk.

The Crystal Palace captain was inches away from becoming one of Arne Slot's many summer signings.

However, since Steve Parish wanted to keep the centre-back around due to the lack of depth they had, he stayed put and chose to join Man City during the winter transfer window instead.

So, with this in mind, his first outing in City's colours against Liverpool was always going to be an interesting one with fans making sure that the Englishman knew how they really felt about his transfer.

As per an update from Sky Sports journalist Adam Bate, the Anfield faithful were far from kind to Guehi with the reporter simply adding that there were "boos for Guehi" in the clash.

Liverpool should have done everything possible to sign Marc Guehi in January

Liverpool may have spent a lot of money on improving their team during the summer transfer window but, even before the January window opened, it was clear that the Reds needed some defensive reinforcement.

Several names were linked with an Anfield switch throughout the month and, before Guehi agreed a deal with City, the Englishman's name was being mentioned every other day.

Others such as Nico Schlotterbeck, Lutsharel Geertruida and even Dayot Upamecano were linked with Liverpool moves.

However, in true Liverpool fashion, the Reds chose to leave things way too deep into the window and, even though they enquired about Geertruida and Denzel Dumfries, a move never came to fruition.

Guehi would've been the perfect defensive option for Liverpool, especially since he'd be classed as a homegrown player.

He already has plenty of Premier League experience and although he'd have to battle for a starting place against Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, his addition would've made plenty of sense.

At the moment, it's unclear what Liverpool are going to do in the summer but, at the moment, it feels like they fumbled their best possible option for reinforcement which is far from ideal, especially for a team of the Reds' size.
