“WAS HE PAID TO MISS?!”
That’s the headline flooding every corner of social media tonight as Liverpool fans unleash a wave of anger, disbelief, and pure frustration after one forward delivered what many are already calling the worst finishing performance of the season in the Champions League clash against PSV.
It wasn’t just one miss. It wasn’t even two.
It was FOUR absolute sitters — chances any top-level attacker should bury with their eyes closed. And each one came at a moment Liverpool were desperately searching for control, confidence, and a statement win.
But the collapse reached its peak in the most humiliating way possible:
the 90th-minute chance.
A simple tap-in.
Open net.
Keeper beaten.
Crowd already halfway up celebrating.
And somehow… he blasted it wide.
That was the moment the internet exploded.
Within seconds, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, and every fan forum on the planet was drowning in outrage. Thousands of supporters posted clips of the miss, adding captions like “match-fixing,” “he’s not serious,” “strip his wages,” “bench him forever,” and the now viral phrase:
“WAS HE PAID TO MISS?!”
Of course, those are emotional reactions — but the anger is real. Liverpool are in a tough period, and the fanbase expected a strong, clinical performance under the Anfield lights. Instead, they got comedy-level finishing that cost them momentum, pride, and potentially the top spot in their group.
Even more worrying?
His body language throughout the match raised eyebrows. There were moments he looked distracted, hesitant, and completely disconnected from the intensity of the game. Slot was visibly irritated on the touchline — pointing, shouting, and shooting icy stares after every wasted chance. At full-time, the manager didn’t approach him. No arm around the shoulder. No eye contact. Nothing.
This wasn’t just a bad game.
This was a meltdown.
Fans are now demanding answers. Many believe he should be benched immediately. Others want him fined. Some are calling for him to be sold in January, while a few think there’s something deeper going on behind the scenes — family issues, personal distractions, pressure, or a mental block.
Whatever the reason, one thing is certain:
Liverpool were denied a win they should have wrapped up early.
One player made it far more difficult than it ever needed to be.
And now the spotlight is burning brighter on him than ever before.
The debate will continue, the outrage will grow, and the clips of those four missed sitters will be replayed again and again — but for now, the fans’ brutal verdict is loud and clear:
“He cost us the match.”
Full investigation? Change in selection? Tough decisions from Slot?
Anything is possible in the next 48 hours.
For now, the internet has spoken — and it’s not holding back.
