# Liverpool: Fans let rip at Bobby Duncan after Derby County debut

**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](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55574408) 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](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55574408) 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”](https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/uk-sports/2019/08/28/liverpool-accused-of-mentally-bullying-wantaway-teenager-bobby-duncan/) the teenager – an accusation which the club [strongly rejected](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49500705).

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](https://www.sofascore.com/derby-county-chorley-fc/Csre), 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.
