Emile Heskey has hammered Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after a sorry first start in a Liverpool shirt.

The £35million summer signing from Arsenal was given a chance to impress from the off in the Carabao Cup tie against Leicester on Tuesday night.

But the England international endured a nightmare as the Reds crashed out of the competition after going down 2-0 at the King Power.

When asked about Oxlade-Chamberlain's full debut, former Liverpool and Leicester forward Heskey told Sky Sports : “Disappointing. Sometimes you forgot he was even playing in the game.

“You expect him to be all-action up and down that wing and we didn’t see it. Creating chances, running at the defence.

“In all fairness, I’ve got to give it to Ben Chilwell because he played a blinding game.”

Nothing is safe on social media, as Michael Keane has just discovered.

While browser Twitter on Tuesday the Everton defender came across a joke aimed at Oxlade-Chamberlain.

And well, it seems the 24-year-old couldn't help but give it a 'like'.

The tweet in question read: "Rio Ferdinand isn't the first person to do a sport he's not used to... for instance, Oxlade-Chamberlain has been having a go at football."

So you can be sure the former Burnley man will face the wrath of the Liverpool supporters keen on defending their man.

A screenshot of the Everton defender's Twitter page, showing him 'liking' the offending tweet was quickly spread about on social media like wild fire.
