Loads of Liverpool fans have been reacting to Manchester United’s shock defeat on Sunday, and they’re all bashing the performance of Eric Bailly.

Of all the bizarre phenomenon to emerge from social media’s incredible impact on sport, one of the most prevalent is the constant comparison between rival players.

It’s almost impossible to comment on a player these days without comparisons being drawn to a rival player in that position, and Liverpool fans are bashing Manchester United fans for putting Bailly in the conversation with Virgil van Dijk.

Manchester United fans would be the first to admit their centre back options are not up to scratch, but many feel that Bailly is a star in the making.

The 24 year-old has excellent pace and strength, and his reading of the game is improving from week to week.

However, he had an absolute nightmare in the 3-2 defeat at Brighton, caught out of position on several occasions before giving away a penalty with a really rash challenge.

Liverpool fans don’t think the Ivorian international belongs in the same conversation as their towering Dutchman, and you can find some of the best Twitter reactions down below…
