Sky's panel for the Liverpool's 2-0 win against Brentford has been heavily criticised for its lack of balance.
Former players Jamie Redknapp and Jamie Carragher starred alongside former Everton and Manchester City Women's star Izzy Christiansen and presenter Kelly Cates, daughter of Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish.
However the line-up for the game's coverage was condemned on social media for a lack of neutrality.
Match commentator Bryn Law took to X blasting the broadcaster for the choice of presenter and pundits.
He said: Sky’s coverage of this Liverpool v Brentford game is basically LFCTV - ex players as co-comm & studio guest, LFC associated presenter. Could they not have at least found an ex-Brentford player as a 2nd studio guest? The pretence of broadcaster’s neutrality a thing of the past?"
However the tweet doesn't seem to have been perceived how Law intended with many people in the replies siding with Sky's decision.
New head coach Arne Slot's debut on Sky will be one to remember after he destroyed Carragher with just six words.
As Carragher was in the middle of dissecting Liverpool's performance, Cates said "she wasn't even listening as Slot joined them.
The Dutchman then cuttingly said "does anybody listen to what he says?"
Carragher proceeded to call the moment a meme and later poked fun at himself sharing the moment on X.
