Liverpool Fans Point Out The Irony In Djimi Traore's Criticism Of Current Defenders

There will be very few Liverpool fans watching Match Of The Day 2 on Sunday night after their side put in a shocking defensive performance in front of a new Premier League record crowd against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley.

Dejan Lovren took the brunt of the stick as he was hauled off after just 30 minutes as his head was clearly gone due to the mistakes made for the first two Tottenham goals.

That said, there was plenty of criticism to be shared around the Liverpool defensive unit as a whole, with even manager Jurgen Klopp saying that the second goal would not have happened if he had been on the pitch - even in a pair of trainers - so it's going to be a rough couple of days for them as opinions and remarks come in from all angles.

Even the loveably-crap Djimi Traore has taken a dig. The 2005 Champions League winner claimed that no trophies will be won with the defenders currently at the club, and even tagged the club's official count in it to emphasise his point.

His opinion mirrors that of many Liverpool fans and even former players, as Jamie Carragher has said similar, but those Liverpool fans brave enough to stick around on social media on Sunday were not about to let Djimi Traore away with that.

The fact that Traore's Twitter profile photo and cover photo are both from his spell with Seattle Sounders suggests that he enjoyed his time in the MLS more than the often toxic world of Premier League football.

He is remembered as one of the baffling signings of Gerard Houllier's reign, and a Bambi-on-ice defender, but at the end of the day he was picked to start in a Champions League final and we're sure he gets the last laugh each and every time it catches his eye in his trophy cabinet at home.
