Following Liverpool’s penalty shootout triumph over Carlisle in the League Cup, we bring you the best of the fan reaction from the game.
Rarely has a victory been greeted with such half-hearted joy.
This was a night where even more faith was lost in Brendan Rodgers, as the Reds were taken to the brink of League Cup elimination by a League Two side.

The performance simply wasn’t good enough, with endless long shots and not enough creativity, and the only positive to take was the three penalty saves made by Adam Bogdan to secure victory.
Here is how social media reacted to the rather hollow win:
One goal in 120 minutes of football at home to the team who have conceded the most goals in League Two.

Other than Danny Ings, this @LFC team is devoid of anyone who wants to grab the game by the scruff of the neck. Horribly anaemic.

Bogdan channeling his inner Dudek. A most memorable event.

Feel pity for him. I really do. He's just not getting this. Trying his best and all, but… yeah. He's just not the guy. Slow death, man.

Winning Manager of the Year was the worst thing that ever happened to Rodgers. It made him think he can walk on water. He can't. #LFC.

Nothing whatsoever to be excited about. Rodgers still needs to go.
Tonight HAS to signal the end of Rodgers. Regardless of whether we go through or not. #LFC

A new manager to these players would be like an adrenaline shot.
