Liverpool fans weren’t surprised to see their former ‘keeper gift Manchester United a goal

Ask a Liverpool fan about Brad Jones and they'll instinctively put their head in their hands or start involuntarily screaming. Maybe both at once.

The Australian goalkeeper is probably somewhere between Doni and Adam Bogdan in the ranking of recent Reds goalkeepers, so we don't doubt a few supporters - upon seeing him take to the field for Feyenoord against Manchester United - were just grateful he no longer plays for their club. It's not Jones' fault that he didn't impress at Anfield, but it's fair to say he has always had an error in him. Often more than one error. https://twitter.com/awinehouse1/status/801868761892589568 True to form, the former Middlesbrough number one (no, really) gifted the opposition a goal, turning a Zlatan Ibrahimovic cross into his own net in the second half. That put the game out of sight for the home side, after Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata had given United a 2-0 lead. https://twitter.com/VintageUtdGoals/status/801903784087654400 There was an element of deja vu about the goal, especially for those from the red half of Merseyside. https://twitter.com/jrgdutton/status/801902700216643584 And it wasn't just Liverpool supporters who enjoyed the moment. https://twitter.com/ghostbiggie/status/801902852004343808 https://twitter.com/Mullane45/status/801902901450932224 https://twitter.com/manutd24/status/801904901982978048 Of course, the error at Old Trafford shouldn't take away from the fact that Jones kept a clean sheet in the reverse fixture, though we're not entirely sure how that one happened. https://twitter.com/JonnyGabriel/status/776470969577836553 https://twitter.com/TonyBarrett/status/776493857634709504 https://twitter.com/Tidy_Darts/status/776495241356537856 Dick Clerkin makes his GAA Hour debut to talk about a wonderful career and argue passionately with Colm Parkinson over Sky Sports GAA.
