Liverpool fans react to Joe Cole's performance on Twitter

What did Liverpool fans think of Joe Cole's came appearance after coming on for Suso yesterday?

Joe Cole made his return to Premier League action yesterday against Stoke City, coming off the Liverpool bench in the 67th minute of the game.

In a drab goalless draw, the attacker was unable to break the deadlock, and Liverpool fans left Anfield frustrated. But what did they make of Cole's contribution?

Here is a snapshot of opinions from Twitter...

@seanrana: Has Joe Cole's missile ball landed yet? #LFC

@musker_lfc: Huge question mark over why the hell Joe Cole was bought on above Borini, Assaidi or Henderson & push Gerrard forward. Poor decision. #LFC

@cbyrne25: Seeing joe cole play for #LFC makes me feel sick #NotGoodEnough

@fit4thabo: An where is Joe Cole? A tired Suso was still more effective than an unfit Joe Cole surely? #LFC

@jam_lfc: To those fans blaming the draw on Joe Cole. Get a grip. He actually worked hard when he came on

@oli_fell: In all honesty, I think Joe Cole will be released next year and @suso30fernandez should take the number 10 shirt...

@stephen1martin: Joe Cole? If you didn't laugh you'd cry.

@chy_buzz: Joe Cole should be sold with immediate effect! #LFC

@letstalk_lfc: Joe Cole actually played half decent before his howler of what he calls a "volley". #LFC #LIVSTK

@the_lfc_ant: And Joe Cole wasn't bad when he came in. not so good, but just okay. #LFC

@markcowley1: My only criticism of Brendan Rodgers is his faith in Joe Cole. That embarrassing hoof into the Kop summed him up #LFC

@adamroche: Loving the Joe Cole action When he came on. Could be interesting midfield if he stays fit #lfc

@dousty_lfc: Note to Rodgers: Suso did more in 60 minutes today than Joe Colein his entire #LFC career. Once Cole came on we looked rubbish.

@davebunting81: #lfc fans slagging Joe Cole off? Played well last season, start looking at the whole team rather than one scapegoat.

What's your verdict? Is it too soon to judge him?
