- After Liverpool's 7-2 win over Lincoln City, some so-called Liverpool 'fans' hurled some disgusting abuse towards right-back Neco Williams who made an error leading to a goal.
- The youngster even had to black out his social media profiles after some particularly offensive comments.
- While he might not have had the best of nights against Lincoln, the Liverpool community have gathered support for Neco.
'Best fans in the world?'
Luke_4686 via Reddit: "Can we give this lad some love? The abuse he’s been getting on Twitter is vile. If your first thought after a 7-2 win is to send a 19-year-old hate, then you need a long hard look at yourselves. Thought we were the best fans in the world?"
Look at Trent now
harpalss via Reddit: "People have a short memory. I remember Trent getting the same abuse and look at him now. The kid is only 19 and still has a long way to go."
'didn't catch him doing anything wrong'
Acid_Junkie23 via Reddit: "What were people giving him grief for? Only half-watched the game and didn't catch him doing anything wrong. Mad that he's getting abuse from a nothing cup game though, must be all the plastics migrating from Barcelona & Co."
'Need to call it out'
'Just joined the hype train'
'A nothing game'
Byrneand from redandwhitecop: "I can't believe the abuse a kid is getting in a nothing game... the type of game where you want him making mistakes and learning. It's a joke some of those out there who call themselves fans abusing him. Fine to say that wasn't a great game and he needs to up his performances over the next 24 months, but the fact that he's shown flashes of what he can do suggests that you want to give him time if he can take that to another level and provide consistency."
'Absolute disgrace'
David Kelly via Tribuna.com's Liverpool community: "It's an absolute disgrace really and our users on here aren't always much better. Football is a team sport, we win together and we lose together. Yes, when analysing a game and breaking down where certain things went wrong we can criticise. But this nonsense of singling out a specific player and then said player becoming the go-to player for blame is absolutely disgusting.
"So before we all go on a crusade for justice, maybe we should have a look at ourselves and our own behaviour towards players such as Lovren, Moreno, Gomez and now Neco first."
'Ignore the haters'
Mansoor Ahmed via Tribuna.com's Liverpool community: "He’s only 19, leave him alone. If Trent wasn’t at Liverpool I am certain this boy would have broken into the team a while ago, he’s top talent! Ignore the haters, Neco, they are either jealous or not LFC fans."
