Steven Gerrard probably chose the wrong game to pay visit to his old club, as Liverpool suffered their first defeat under Jurgen Klopp against Crystal Palace on Sunday in the Premier League.
Liverpool lost 2-1 against Palace on the night when Gerrard returned to Anfield for the first time after he left the club at the end of last season, and many fans (mainly the non-Liverpool / opposition fans) were quick to react on Twitter suggesting Gerrard’s presence was to blame for the defeat.
