Fan comments on X (Twitter):
@Ayodelebiodun: "Imagine having the nerve to perform so poorly, lose 4-0, and then have the audacity to confront fans who may have spent a month's wages and traveled halfway across the country to support you losers. These players really act like spoiled brats."
@ianyoungkop (Liverpool fan): "This guy is starting to get way too cocky and out of line."
@Corballyred: "I'm a big fan of Szoboszlai, but he owes an apology for this. How can he question the dedication of the fans when the players themselves seem indifferent, walking around like it’s a testimonial match?"
