Liverpool registered its second straight win at Stamford Bridge with a 2-1 win against Chelsea.
The Reds could not be contained from the outset, completely bossing the game in the opening 45 with goals to Dejan Lovren and a superb Jordan Henderson.
Chelsea pegged one back through the in-form Diego Costa, but Jurgen Klopp’s men got the job done at the Bridge again, handing Antonio Conte his first loss as Blues manager.
One player in particular who looked completely out of his depth was Branislav Ivanovic, who was continually bamboozled by the guile of Liverpool’s attackers.
Having spent a decade at the club his position in the lineup is severely under threat and his erroneous display has certainly not been lost on the Chelsea faithful.
Here’s some of the best reactions from the Chelsea fans on Twitter:
I don’t want to see Ivanovic in a Chelsea shirt ever again.

2016 and Ivanovic is still starting for us.

How in 2016 with a new manager are Ivanovic and Cahill still playing

Ivanovic was a great defender for Chelsea, but it’s time to move him to the bench and move Azpillicueta to right and Alonso to the left.

It’s either the managers don’t have the balls to drop Branislav Ivanovic or Roman’s influence supercedes their decisions

Next time I see a Chelsea Line up with Ivanovic… It’s bye boy for me

Ivanovic is picked year after year for one reason – he’s friends with Roman. #CFC

Ivanovic is 33 in February. Great servant to the club but he’s had his day and we can’t afford to be sentimental if we want to challenge

Ivanovic pure rubbish!!
— Mr Glorious (@MayegunLee) September 16, 2016
Ivanovic was a disgrace tonight. Doesn’t deserve to be in the team let alone wear the captains armband. #CFC

Ivanovic is destroying his legacy at the club with every game he plays
