RIO FERDINAND'S commentary on the Merseyside Derby generated a mixed response from football fans this afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Manchester United legend was on punditry duty for TNT Sports ahead of the game, but he moved up to the commentary box after kick-off.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Ferdinand, 44, joined Ally McCoist in providing analysis throughoutthe match.<\/p>\n

But he jokingly issued a quick apology to viewers after reacting to a shot from Dominik Szoboszlai.<\/p>\n

As the midfielder unleashed a powerful strike from around 30 yards out, Ferdinand shouted: "Wow!"<\/p>\n

Which prompted commentator Darren Fletcher to say: "I think Rio thought he was in!"<\/p>\n

Szoboszlai's shot narrowly flew over the crossbar, but Ferdinand was convinced that Jordan Pickford wouldn't have been able to save it if it was on target.<\/p>\n

Ferdinand then added: "If that was on target I don't think Pickford's got enough to get it.<\/p>\n

"Sorry guys, I can't control myself up here!"<\/p>\n

Fans took to social media to react to Ferdinand's commentary, with one person writing: "Hi @tntsports – how do I turn the Rio Ferdinand feature off?"<\/p>\n

Another added: "Rio Ferdinand on co comms \ud83d\ude34."<\/p>\n

A third fan said: "Please get a microphone away from Rio Ferdinand."<\/p>\n

While a fourth commented: "I speak for every football fan when I say please keep Rio Ferdinand as far away from that commentary box as possible in the future."<\/p>\n

However, some fans loved hearing the ex-England defender on commentary.<\/p>\n

One person said: "Rio Ferdinand is like a fan commentating on the game but I actually love it."<\/p>\n

Liverpool went on to win the Merseyside Derby 2-0 thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah.<\/p>\n
