These Liverpool fans had very little sympathy for former Red Javier Mascherano despite making glowing comments about the club.
The Argentinian midfielder moved to Anfield from West Ham in 2008 and scored just two goals and provided seven assists in 139 appearances. However, he moved to Barcelona in 2010 in dramatic circumstances after refusing to play, which made club legend Phil Thompson cringe, as per the Liverpool Echo.
This was something that the former Argentina international denied years later and insisted that the club’s hierarchy failed to keep promises that were made to him, leading to his inevitable departure, as cited by The Times. Despite this, he told CNN he felt more attached to the Merseyside club than the Catalan giants, regardless of the difference in time and the honours at the two clubs.
However, supporters were not impressed and made their frustrations clear on social media. One fan said that fans do not care about his opinion after the manner of his exit, while another pitied him after claiming he “downed tools” to make his move to Spain.
