Twitter trolls Liverpool after Reds crash out of FA Cup

Liverpool v West Bromwich Albion - The Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round

Liverpool crashed out of the FA Cup 4th Round for the third consecutive time as West Bromwich Albion managed a 3-2 win at Anfield in a thrilling cup tie.

Robert Firmino opened the scoring in the 5th minute, but just 72 seconds later, Jay Rodriguez equalized for West Brom. The Baggies striker turned the game on it's head with a goal in the 11th minute, after which VAR reigned supreme, as it disallowed a goal from Craig Dawson, before awarding a penalty to Liverpool minutes later - that Firmino missed!

An own goal from Joel Matip gave West Brom a 3-1 lead on the stroke of half-time, but Mo Salah gave the Reds hope in the 78th minute with a well-taken goal, but it was in vain.

Here's how Twitter reacted to this eventful game:

Look away, Liverpool fans!

Sadly Liverpool didn't get the equaliser, thus denying them the chance to do their customary Kop salute when they draw against the mighty baggies pic.twitter.com/62PsK2LHAN

Sod's law for Liverpool, Jay Rodriguez being about the only Southampton player they haven't bought in recent years.

There was no mercy for Virgil van Dijk and his Liverpool teammates:

Since Liverpool paid £75m for Van Dijk, in his 2.5 games he's played against Everton, Swansea and West Brom...Liverpool have conceded 5 goals. pic.twitter.com/pBHmB5F4n4

FACT: VAR has now prevented more goals conceded by Liverpool this season...than Mignolet & Karius combined. 😳🎥 pic.twitter.com/hZnpi5VOCc

Her: 'I bet he's thinking of another woman'

Him: 'Why do #LFC still defend so badly after buying Van Dijk?' pic.twitter.com/Q2MUuusqmS

This fella would do a better job in goal for Liverpool than Simon Mignolet. pic.twitter.com/ipv2h4gTar

£75 million on a centre back and you lose to the bottom two in a week. Klopp is a wizard.

Daddy just suggested that Liverpool would have been better signing Dick Van Dyke.

Klopp has transformed Oxlade-Chamberlain. Into a player who doesn’t win trophies. Boom.

VAR was front-and-centre in the game, with differing opinions from fans!

"Stupid referee! How did you not see that penalty?!?!"

"Ah, what if we gave the ref a technology that can help him with incidents he may have missed?"

"Stupid VAR! Who says we want the referee to make the right decisions!?!"

Liverpool replacing Coutinho with VAR.

All for £142m profit. Fair play. pic.twitter.com/53MdMcu11A

People will come around on VAR when refs realise you don't have to use it on every call

At least I managed the Semi Final of the FA CUP with Liverpool.....

He's spent £380mill in 2 years and has 0 trophies. But Klopp is great because he hugs his players.
