Watch: Joe Gomez fumes after being tackled by Adrian, *his own keeper*

Joe Gomez summed up the reaction of most Liverpool fans when he collided with under-fire goalkeeper Adrian in the first half of the Reds 1-0 victory at Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Liverpool have struggled defensively at the start of 2020-21 – prompting some intriguing analysis by BT Sport prior to the clash with Ajax – while their problems have been exacerbated by injuries to key players Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk.

Alisson’s injury has opened the door for Adrian to play a run of games in goal, but the former West Ham stopper has made a number of errors, having also been at fault in Liverpool’s Champions League exit to Atletico Madrid last term.

While the Spaniard made a number of smart stops against Ajax, the nervousness among the Liverpool backline was also evident, with Gomez clearly showing his frustration after essentially being tackled by his own goalkeeper.
