Welcome to Liverpool FC, Federico Chiesa Cavaliere

[RedReet]

Another reason to be pissed off we didn’t sign Guehi

I think Leoni would have kept his place regardless. If everything went to plan, I think it would have been Guehi in and Gomez out, but even if we did hold on to Gomez, I still think Leoni would have made squad.

We can re-register CL players mid way through right?

90% sure that’s right

Ah yes, I didn’t think of that

It's a bit embarrassing for Chiesa but he looks like a good sort. Rio getting minutes in lesser games will be good for development though and if we need Chiesa we've got bigger problems.

After this, I wonder if Chiesa will consider moving to Saudi whilst their window is still open

Yeah you definitely can ahead of the knockout stages as it allows players signed in the January window to be added to the squad

[Exiled_red]

I assume that Slot will have had a chat with him about it and probably said he will get more opportunities in domestic games as a result.

[Paul12]

I think it’s due to the homegrown numbers available which means they can’t register as many players as usual. Someone explained somewhere else I thought I’d copy it so everyone can see the reasoning.

The full squad on the UEFA site is:

GKs

Alisson, Mamardashvili, Woodman

DFs

Gomez, Endo, van Dijk, Konaté, Kerkez, Bradley, Leoni, Robertson, Frimpong

MFs

Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Jones, Gravenberch

FWs

Isak, Salah, Gakpo, Ekitiké, Ngumoha

We only have 5 locally-trained players out of 8 maximum: Woodman, Gomez, Bradley, Frimpong, Jones, so our max squad size gets reduced from 25 to 22.

Ngumoha will become locally-trained next season I think, but he's currently not old enough to count.

This can be supplemented by "List B" players who are essentially the academy kids. So Nyoni, Bajcetic, Nallo etc.

So Endo is a defender now is he?

[Corndog]

It seems to be quite clear, he’s a squad player and won’t be any more than that because of who he has in front of him in his positions.

Even if he was at his peak, he wouldn’t have started ahead of salah and likely not ahead of a 125 million pound signing.

Could be off to Turkey by Friday.

Could be off to Turkey by Friday.

Why so?

[baitman]

Why so?

Teeth?

Teeth?

Hair? As a donor.

Brilliant performance today & I couldn’t be happier for him. 2 assists & a number of thunderous shots blocked plus 1 ruled out for offside. He appreciated the crowd singing his song by giving a little clap. He played right across the frontline & looked full of running until the final whistle.

Class performance. Let's hope this is his default setting now.

[Buzzo]

Fittest he has looked and best he has played. He must have more minutes this season already than he did all of last season?
