Liverpool fans are being madly slated by Man City supporters as they come to terms with losing Kevin de Bruyne for a few months to injury this season.
Man City fans are in a rage. Not content with having the most successful Premier League side ever last season they feel the need to stoke a rivalry with Liverpool. Strangely many have taken the news of Kevin de Bruyne being injured as a chance to rail at Reds online.
The Belgian midfielder was injured yesterday in training and looks set for spell on the sidelines; currently believed to be around two months out. Inevitably the City fans are upset about it – losing your best player sucks.
But for some reason they have decided to channel their frustrations to Liverpool fans online:
Liverpool fans celebrating KDB’s injury. This is the same bunch that created a petition to ban Ramos after Salah got injured

Liverpool fans think thwy will win the league now that KDB us injured. What a sore bunch of losers they are ffs!!!

Funny thing is Liverpool fans celebrating KDB getting injured. Your club isn't winning the league anyway.

We follow over five thousand Liverpool fans on Twitter and did not see any ‘celebrating’ the injury. Not least because the depth of Man City squad makes one injury almost negligible; even to their best player.

It appears losing three straight competitive games to Liverpool (this one, this one and this one) has got to the fragile egos in Manchester. Losing AGAIN in pre-season to the Reds probably hasn’t helped their inferiority complex.
Add to that Mohamed Salah beating de Bryune to the Player-of-the-Season awards last year and they are formulating a new rivalry. That remains decidedly one-sided at the moment.
Yes we pelted their bus with a can or bottle (very naughty) but that was more about a domestic side coming to Anfield on a European night than any specific animosity to City.
Most Liverpool fans have Manchester United, Everton and Arsenal as more historic rivals. It is cute to see Man City and Spurs fans feel like they mean anything to the Kopites. Bless their simple minds.
