CHELSEA fans continue to mock Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool on social media.
The Blues beat Liverpool to the signing of Moises Caicedo this week and are close to pipping them to Romeo Lavia's signature.
As a result, Klopp and his side have been ridiculed by Chelsea supporters, who have come up with a new nickname for their midfield.
Using Lavia, Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo's initials, the midfield trio have been dubbed "LFC" by fans.
The letters also spell out Liverpool's abbreviated name, much to the amusement of Chelsea fans.
Liverpool had agreed a deal with Brighton for the signing of Caicedo last week before he snubbed them to join Chelsea for £115million.

Meanwhile, Klopp saw his side have multiple bids rejected for Lavia before Chelsea agreed a fee with Southampton.
Fernandez was also linked with a move to Anfield before joining Chelsea in January.
The pattern of players joining Chelsea over Liverpool has not gone unnoticed amongst supporters.
One fan tweeted: "Chelsea owns LFC whichever way you look at it."

Another added: "Liverpool conquered to form our new ‘LFC’ midfield."
A third fan even joked that Chelsea were expanding their habit of signing players Klopp was interested in.
They wrote: "Chelsea have agreed to sign Ronald McDonald for a club record fee after seeing Jurgen Klopp was considering buying a Big Mac and fries."
Klopp and Liverpool have struggled in the transfer market this summer, making just two signings.
The club have also been slammed by pundits for missing out on several targets.
However, despite their woes, Klopp could not resist aiming a dig at Chelsea's spending after their 1-1 draw on Sunday.
The impending arrival of Lavia is set to take their spending to almost a billion since Todd Boehly's takeover.
