Liverpool went into half-time of their FA Cup fourth-round tie trailing West Brom.
The Baggies took a 3-1 lead into the break, after coming from behind to leave Anfield stunned. Roberto Firmino opened the scoring after just six minutes, netting with a deft lob over Ben Foster.
However, a minute later, West Brom were level. Jay Rodriguez buried a first-time shot from the edge of the penalty area past Simon Mignolet.

Which ended with West Brom leading 3-1. Joel Matip scored an own-goal, just before the half-time whistle.
Manchester United fans enjoyed what they were seeing, with many of them taking pleasure in witnessing Vigil van Dijk struggle. The Liverpool defender may have cost £75m from Southampton, but he can't solve the team's defensive problems on his own. As the first-half against West Brom proved, these issues don't start and end with one individual player.
Liverpool did notch one back through Salah, but it wasn't enough for the Reds. They lost 3-2.

Yet, this was inevitable. In fact, for the rest of the season, each time Liverpool concede a goal, you'll see this reaction.
United fans, confident that they have never witnessed an expensive signing play poorly for their team, laid into Van Dijk.
