Trevor Francis and Michael Owen Anger Viewers of Chelsea vs. Liverpool

The internet hasn't been kind to Trevor Francis, who teamed up with Michael Owen for BT Sport's coverage of Chelsea's home match against Liverpool on Saturday afternoon.

While both Francis and Owen boast impressive playing CVs, their insights as broadcasters haven't been quite as widely appreciated...

Some saw it coming...

Francis' main mistake was suggesting that Jurgen Klopp should make a change after six minutes and bring on Christian Benteke after Ramires' opener...

"

Haha. Trevor Francis isn't at all knee-jerk. Klopp should make a change. Yeah cos bringing on a sub after 6 mins is the norm...

*Apollo 11 takes off* *5 minutes later* Trevor Francis: THAT'S IT CALL IT BACK. IT'S NOT WORKING. I DON'T THINK THEY'VE WORKED ON THIS.

Some suggested that he made his colleague seem better by comparison...

And others were just mean...
