"Might be finished at this level", "He has to go" - Fans unhappy with Liverpool star's showing in 3-1 loss to Chelsea

Liverpool fans on X have criticized Jarell Quansah after he scored an own goal and conceded a penalty during their 3-1 loss against Chelsea. The two sides locked horns in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, May 4.

Enzo Fernandez emphatically finished past Alisson Becker to break the deadlock in the third minute. The Reds responded well in search of an equalizer; however, they were dealt a massive blow after Virgil van Dijk's clearance struck Quansah's chest, leading to an own goal (56').

Van Dijk headed home from a corner to halve the deficit in the 85th minute. However, Liverpool's hopes of a late comeback were nullified after Quansah clipped Moises Caicedo's heels inside the box, conceding a late penalty. Cole Palmer made no mistake from the spot in the sixth minute of stoppage time to score his first goal in 19 appearances across all competitions.

Days after being named Premier League champions, Arne Slot rotated his starting XI, handing Jarell Quansah a start ahead of Ibrahima Konate. Unfortunately for the Reds, the 22-year-old failed to look convincing, making two errors that led to his side's defeat.

One Liverpool fan posted:

"I don’t know what’s happened to Quansah, but he has to go. He’s just not good enough"

"Sorry Quansah I can’t back you no more," another admitted

"He is horrendous simple as. Not good enough to start next season. Simple as that," one fan typed

"No confidence, poor decision making he's not up for the task," another chimed in
