Recently-appointed Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp wrote "T.E.R.R.I.B.L.E." on a tactics board in one of his first team meetings in charge at the club.
The 48-year-old wrote the word in block capital letters at the side's Melwood training ground, reportedly to some confusion amongst his players.
According to the Liverpool Echo, a number of squad members were concerned that the German had used the word to describe their performances so far this season.
The former Borussia Dortmund manager confirmed that was not the case, but rather he was instructing his players to make the opposition feel terrible after 90 minutes.
Klopp claimed his first victory in charge of the club this evening, in the form of a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth in the League Cup.
