Fans have expressed their annoyance with Jermaine Jenas' commentary during Liverpool's clash with Ipswich on Saturday.
The 41-year-old was working for TNT Sports and initially thought the Reds should have been given a penalty after Luis Diaz went down in the box.
Diaz looped an effort over the bar but was accidentally caught by Ipswich goalkeeper Christian Walton.
Jenas initially expressed a belief that a penalty should have been given, before later changing his tune.

The match at Portman Road is Arne Slot's first game in charge as Liverpool manager.
The Dutchman has been given the tricky job of succeeding Jurgen Klopp, who stepped down earlier this summer.
And Slot admitted he was 'excited' to get started at Anfield as he looks to build a dynasty of his own.
"Excited, of course," he said when asked how he was feeling ahead of his first competitive game in charge.
"I think after a pre-season it’s always, for a player and also for a manager or a coach, nice to start the season because this is what you worked for in the last few weeks."

Slot also confessed he was looking forward to the 'challenge' as he looks to win the Premier League title at the first time of asking.
When asked about what is a 'realistic aim' for this season, he added: "I think at this moment the whole team stayed together.
"We lost Joel Matip and Thiago [Alcantara] and Adrian as a goalkeeper of course, but the rest of the team stayed together and that is also a very positive thing.
"We are always talking here about transfers but it’s also a very positive thing that we kept our players and they are in a good place at the moment.

"I said many times already: Jürgen [Klopp] left the team in a good place and we are trying to build from there and last season was also a season where they could win a trophy with this team.
"So, we are hoping and aiming, of course, for the same this season.
"It’s not going to be easy because there are a lot of good and strong teams in the Premier League that also strengthened their squads, but we are looking forward to the challenge."
