Liverpool fans on Twitter have been slating Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas after his selections for the team of the season emerged.
This comes after Liverpool-focused Twitter account @empireofthekop shared a post on their page that contained an image of Nicholas’ team of the season from Sky Sports.
The Liverpool page then captioned their post claiming that Nicholas’ choice to put Manchester City’s Rodri ahead of Jordan Henderson was a “hilariously bad shout”.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were eager to share their thoughts on Nicholas’ team.
Here’s a sample of Liverpool fans responding to the post:
Charlie Nicholas has left Jordan Henderson out of his Team of the Year, for Rodri.. Wow. That is an hilariously bad shout ? pic.twitter.com/LcsoQJCL6j

Every week for over a year he kept saying, “I fink this is the week Liverpool will lose!” He’s a complete crank.

Oh my gosh Rodri instead oficial Hendo? Wth…

He hates Liverpool. I’d love to see his predicted league table with his predictions. Liverpool would be mid table

Still bitter because he chose the bright lights rather than a football education in Liverpool, life choices and all that

Should Jordan Henderson be in the team of the year for this season?
Yes
No
Liverpool captain Henderson is currently the Reds’ seventh highest-rated performer so far this campaign with a season rating of 7.2/10 for Jurgen Klopp’s team (per WhoScored). The 29-year-old, who is currently valued at £25.2 million according to Transfermarkt, has scored three goals and provided five assists in 25 Premier League appearances so far this season (per Transfermarkt). Now that Nicholas has shared his thoughts on who should be in his Premier League team of the season so far, his decision to overlook Henderson has not gone down well with these Reds fans.
Wow. Grealish Rodri Firmino Egan?? And Ederson. From someone who says Liverpool will slip up every single week

Rodri over hendo is a joke

What do we think?
It’s understandable why these Liverpool fans would be a bit miffed that Nicholas put Rodri in his team over Henderson. Given that the Englishman has led his team to a 25-point advantage at the top of the Premier League this season, he deserves a spot in this team.
