Liverpool forward Bradley Barcola has been slammed for his performance against Fenerbahce as the Reds lost 3-2 in Turkey.
It was an incredibly disappointing result for the Merseyside club, particularly after they went into the lead twice on the night.
They opened the scoring through Trey Nyoni before Alexander Isak headed home after Fenerbahce had equalised.
The Turkish outfit then turned things around to secure all three points in the Champions League, with Liverpool losing their first game of the campaign.
That means Liverpool have now failed to win any of their last three games in normal time, although there's no doubt they faced some tough sides during that period.
As usual in the Champions League, Andoni Iraola did look to rotate his team in order to keep his squad fresh.
One decision he made will have undoubtedly baffled some Liverpool supporters, and it's safe to say it didn't work out.
Iraola opted to play Bradley Barcola as the centre-forward during the game against Fenerbahce, allowing Isak to start on the bench.
In some ways, it's understandable due to Iraola's lack of options, but playing an academy player in that position might have been the better option.
Barcola simply didn't look comfortable in that position, and he's starting to show that he can be effective out wide. It didn't make a lot of sense to then play him as a striker.

The French international did get moved out wide during the game to make way for Isak, but he barely made an impact in that position.
Perhaps the opening 65 minutes knocked his confidence, as he was barely involved for Liverpool.
The Liverpool Echo said that Barcola was "virtually anonymous" in the centre-forward role and that it was "concerning" that he struggled even when moving out wide.
There shouldn't be too many concerns about Barcola, given he's not had a lot of time to settle in the Premier League.
It's completely understandable if Liverpool fans are expecting more from the former Paris Saint-Germain winger, but they certainly shouldn't have expected too much in a striker position.

Barcola is still relatively young, so he's not going to be the finished article just yet. The French forward was never a guaranteed starter during his time at PSG, so coming to Liverpool and being one of the main men is a big change for him.
A large portion of players who come to the Premier League often need time to settle into the demands of England's top flight.
Barcola is no different, and it's possibly unfair to judge players until they've had a full campaign in the country.
It's not been a disastrous start to life at Anfield for Barcola yet, but there's no doubt Iraola will be looking to get more out of him.
