Many Liverpool fans let rip at former Reds’ youngster Bobby Duncan after he had an afternoon to forget with his new club.
Derby County’s squad was fragmented after being hit with a coronavirus breakout in their camp, meaning a lot of second-string players came in as replacements, including the 19-year-old striker as The Rams lost to National League North side 2-0 in the FA Cup Third Round with Duncan making his first appearance for the club.
The Melwood graduate left Anfield in controversial fashion after his former agent accused Liverpool of “mentally bullying” the teenager – an accusation which the club strongly rejected.

In the end, Duncan left the Premier League champions to join Fiorentina – only for his spell to end early and he ended up in the East Midlands.
His first start for the Pride Park club was a disaster as he received the fourth-lowest match rating on the day. Per Sofascore, Duncan lost 11 duels, had no shots on goal and only made 10 accurate passes during the 90 minutes.

Unsurprisingly, Liverpool supporters were not sympathetic towards Duncan – as they seemingly hadn’t forgotten the manner in which he left the club in the first place.
Fans mock Duncan in brutal fashion
“I have zero sympathy for him”
“Grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence”
“Reminds me of Jerome Sinclair”
“Serves him right”
“Attitude problem”
“He makes Tom Ince look like Messi”
“It’s the story of an entitled young man.”
