I remember the stick Lucas Leiva used to get - it carried of for a few seasons and became embarrassing.
Personally, I find it hard to accept that Liverpool fans would get on the back of any of our players. Maybe my opinion's a generational thing, something to do with this new thing called the Internet or something!
Absolutely. There were quite a few abysmal signings & players for us in the last 2 decades, but players like Riise, Skrtel, Lucas, Hendo, Lovren, Matip & Gini have been important & extremely committed for us overall & they don't deserve even a fraction of the abuse they've got in general so far.
Even Skrtel wasn't that bad at all. His goals were immense in our title challenging season & he was a solid defender under Rafa, he just got exposed a lot defensively under Brendan in a high-line without protection & then swiftly declined by age. People remember him by his last season(s) struggles but he was very good at his peak.
I remember similar abuse that Riise used to get as well, with people remembering him by his struggles in his last 1 or 2 seasons and they forget how good a player he was for us in his peak.
