John Barnes lambasts Kylian Mbappe after crucial mistake at Anfield
Former Liverpool player John Barnes has laid into Paris Saint-Germain starlet Kylian Mbappe after his error led to Roberto Firmino's decisive goal at Anfield on Tuesday night.
Just moments after scoring an equaliser in front of the Kop, Mbappe lost possession on the edge of the box before Firmino slammed in the stoppage-time winner.
Former Liverpool striker John Barnes and former Netherlands captain Ruud Gullit did not hold back on their criticism of the young forward.
"Mbappe is trying to nutmeg someone on the edge of the box, unbelievable. He gives the ball away and Liverpool score.
"But to be honest I think that could be one thing that lets PSG down because you can see Neymar and Mbappe at times alone to themselves in terms of effort and work rate", he told 'beIN SPORTS".
Barnes made 349 appearances in 10 years at Anfield.
Ruud Gullit added: ‘If you are a coach then you would be going crazy. In a game like this, I hope he will tell him.
‘What do you think of Cavani? Did you even hear his name mentioned in the second half?’
