I dunno - you try something new, all you get is grief.

Liverpool travel to Crystal Palace for today's late Premier League kick off at Selhurst Park. Ahead of the game the Reds trailed the match on their Twitter account by posting this Grand Theft Auto style promotional poster: https://twitter.com/LFC/status/792259968124715008 Kloppstar Games. 18 league titles. Safe to say, it didn't go down all that well with some of Liverpool's fans on Twitter.

This commenter got straight to the point:

"What a player. We know him best because we had him all the time in training. "In all moments he showed his quality in the areas where he's really strong. He's not only good at heading but he's especially good at heading. "He also has good technical skills. He's a wonderful player who is now at Crystal Palace."
