Phil Thompson has said that Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius should have done more after failing to save Fernando's free kick in his side's 1-1 draw with Spartak Moscow on Tuesday night.
The Reds were frustrated in their second Champions League group stage match and fell to another stalemate, having already drew with Sevilla two weeks ago.
Moscow midfielder Fernando opened the scoring for his side when he placed an accurate free kick into the middle of the goal past Karius and pundit Thompson has criticised the German for failing to keep the set piece out.
"They've had two attempts, one from the free kick which they scored and one from another shot which Karius blocked. But for the goal, the goalkeeper should do much better," Thompson told Sky Sports News.
"Fernando puts it over the wall, yes with pace, but it's not even at the side, it's gone sort of four yards inside the post. I think he moves his feet far too late, so you'd have to say it's a goalkeeping error yet again.
"This is a massive two points dropped. I think these [Spartak Moscow] were the top pick in Pot 1, and you think my goodness, Liverpool have just absolutely steamrolled them from start to finish. They will be kicking themselves in that dressing room, with 68% possession away from home."
Liverpool's next Champions League fixture comes against Maribor on October 17 after successive Premier League outings against Newcastle United and Manchester United.
