# Liverpool: Fans hammer Fabinho over mistake in Salzburg friendly

**As the Premier League season is less than three weeks away, Liverpool’s pre-season plans are well underway.**

The Reds have already played their first warm-up match, with them beating VfB Stuttgart 3-0 last Saturday. Yesterday they played Red Bull Salzburg, who they faced twice last term in the Champions League, as they continue their preparations for the 2020/21 campaign.

It was far from an easy game for Jurgen Klopp’s men, though – they had to [come from 2-0 down](https://matchcentre.liverpoolfc.com/) to secure a 2-2 draw against the Austrian side, with [half-time substitute Rhian Brewster scoring twice](https://matchcentre.liverpoolfc.com/) to spare the Premier League champions from defeat.

For the first goal in the opening minutes, Fabinho [made a terrible mistake](https://twitter.com/brfootball/status/1298261531105218561) which allowed Patson Daka to score, and it is fair to say that plenty of Liverpool fans were far from happy with his error – some questioned the [£50.4m-valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fabinho/marktwertverlauf/spieler/225693) ability whilst others indicated that this is exactly why they need Thiago Alcantara, who has been [heavily linked](https://open.spotify.com/episode/6jAEoM6YEBB22EpNnlssev?si=IwwAcBhBTby5AG7n8Wa2OA) with a move to Merseyside.

They took to Twitter to share their thoughts – one fan even called him a “fraud” – and you can see some of the best comments from the social media platform below.
