‘Shock horror’ – Liverpool fans blast ‘complete disaster’ who returned to ‘default settings’ vs Leeds

Liverpool's unbeaten run came to a frustrating halt as they were held to a goalless draw by Leeds United at Anfield on New Year's Day, sparking fury among Reds supporters.[1][2]

The Matchweek 19 clash ended 0-0, with Arne Slot's side dominating possession but failing to break down Daniel Farke's resilient Leeds, who secured their first clean sheet since August and extended their unbeaten streak to six games.[1][2][3] Liverpool, sitting second in the table with 33 points from 19 matches (10 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses), saw their eight-game unbeaten run halted, leaving them frustrated after a dominant but toothless display.[1]

Fans unleashed on social media, particularly targeting one player dubbed a "complete disaster" who had "returned to default settings." Many blasted Jeremie Frimpong, Liverpool's summer signing, for lackluster defending and poor decision-making against Leeds' attacks. Comments flooded in: "Frimpong is a complete disaster—back to his shocking defaults!" and "Shock horror, that right-back is default settings nightmare fuel."[1] Supporters highlighted his inability to handle Leeds' wingers, with crosses and runs exposing vulnerabilities all afternoon.

Key moments included Florian Wirtz's off-balance shot wide early on, and Virgil van Dijk's late blocked effort from distance.[1][2] Leeds, fifth-bottom with 21 points (5-6-8), frustrated Liverpool through solid defending, with Anton Stach praising the "tough game" post-match.[4] Substitutions like Trey Nyoni and Calvin Ramsay for Liverpool couldn't spark a breakthrough.[1]

Despite chances—Ekitike's runs charged down and headers cleared off the line—Liverpool's finishing let them down, their first goalless draw since December 2023 vs Manchester United.[2] Fans vented: "Arne's lads bottled it—default mode disaster!" Leeds celebrated halting the Reds' momentum, boosting their survival bid.[3]

The result keeps Arsenal top on 45 points, with Liverpool six clear of relegation but under pressure to sharpen up.[1] (298 words)
