Christian Benteke feels Liverpool fans’ wrath after dismal first half at Newcastle

After Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge ran riot at Southampton in midweek, Christian Benteke wasn't expected to start for Liverpool at St James' Park.

But the £32m man was selected by Jurgen Klopp and struggled to justify his inclusion in the first half, missing a golden chance and struggling against a defence that shipped five goals to Crystal Palace last time out. It certainly looked like he wasn't making the right sort of impression. https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/673543207104319488

And the response was predictable.

Reds fans stopped short of criticising Klopp for the selection, but widely agreed that the Belgian wasn't the right man for the occasion.

But there's always someone who has to take it too far.
