Treacle Legs Enrique was up to his old tricks against Exeter City in the FA Cup.
As soon as it was announced that Enrique was set to start his first game of the season at centre-back, Liverpool fans feared the worst.
Their fears were soon realised when Exter City took the lead just 10 minutes in after Tim Nichols broke free from his marker to get a toe on the end of a cross from the right wing to guide the ball past Adam Bogdan in the Reds’ goal.
Jerome Sinclair managed to bring things level a couple of minutes later, but Liverpool were trailing at half time thanks to a highly unusual goal scored directly from a corner kick.
Needless to say, the reaction to Enrique’s first half performance in general was pretty negative, to say the least.
Enrique looks out of his depth against a lg2 team

Danny Murphy says Enrique was never the most mobile. When being mobile was about all he had to his game

Jose Enrique looks like one of those minor celebrities they get to play in those charity games.

Enrique looks like he retired about 5 years ago and is playing a legends match.

Enrique is like a sloth. So slow there. Good finish by Nicholls though. #EmiratesFACup
