TNT Sports viewers have complained about the commentary of Darren Fletcher and Ally McCoist during Saturday's Merseyside derby clash between Liverpool and Everton.
The Reds have gone into the game looking to maintain their 100 per cent record in the Premier League this term.
And they got their day off to a dream start, with Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ektike finding the net in the first half.
With Liverpool flying, both Fletcher and McCoist purred over Arne Slot's side and their sensational form this season.

But many viewers feel they've taken things too far, with fans lashing out on social media at what they perceive to be biased coverage.
"TNT Sports the most obviously Liverpool fan account in mainstream media," said one supporter. "Don’t think there’s any other that’s so clear cut."
A second fumed: "This Liverpool fan commentating on TNT Sports is hyping everything Liverpool do even basic pass, fanatic."

A third hit out by saying: "Is this TNT sports or LFC TV?"
Another raged: "Are the TNT sports commentators paid by Liverpool??? Shheeez!!!!! The boot licking is out of this world insane."
And a fifth targeted Fletcher directly, saying: "TNT Sports might as well be LFC TV when Darren Fletcher’s on commentary."

Liverpool took the lead against Everton in the 10th minute, with Gravenberch converting after a wonderful pass from Mohamed Salah.
And Ekitike doubled their lead 19 minutes later, with the forward continuing to shine following his arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt back in the summer.
Slot, meanwhile, surprised fans with his team selection for the game.
Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz both found themselves on the bench, with the star duo ready to come on if needed.
Slot, when asked about his decision, explained his thinking by saying: "We needed players that were going to be ready for this game and going to be fit enough for the intensity of the game from the start.
"That is what we tried to do throughout every line-up we have made against Burnley and Atletico for us to be ready for this game.

"Normally when you don't play a player I don't think there is any player that says, 'Ok I understand your decision', ok maybe they understand it but they may have made a different one themselves.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you ask him [Isak] today that he would say it's the best choice for him not to start, but of course it is about match fitness.
"It was good to see him play for an hour in midweek, let's see how many minutes he can make today."
On his decision to drop Wirtz specifically, he added: "The same thinking as Mac Allister on the bench against Atletico.
"Like I said it's three games in seven days, not in eight days, this is Sunday, Wednesday then Saturday.
"For today I think [Dominik] Szoboszlai, who played both of those games as well, is more used to the intensity of the Premier League and this programme than Florian is coming from Germany. So it's only to do with so many games in limited time. I think he will feature, but not from the start."
