Welcome to Liverpool FC, Federico Chiesa Cavaliere

[Exiled_red]

Seeing suggestion floating around that he wants to leave for more game time, either on loan or permanently

[Kenneth]

I'd definitely take that (and party), but I can't see it being real.

[memzey]

Yes please. As much as I like Fede, it’s hard to argue that Yildiz wouldn’t be a big upgrade. He’s my favourite player in Serie a at the moment. Genuine talent.

[SB]

A few suggestions we have enquired about Yildiz from Juventus & one report suggesting they are keen to re sign Fede as part of the deal. Probably BS after the way they treated him previously

[SB]

Would be nice if they actually passed to him. He was in a few excellent positions and they just ignored him. Like gakpo with kerkez.

It’s hard to have an impact on a game when your team mates don’t pass you the ball, & Kerkez looks like a new player with Gakpo out of the side

[Paul12]

I thought he had very luttle impact on the game - alrhough he had an impact on that Wolves' player's jaw - and it IS true that, in the first half especially, we kept going down the left side rather than the right...but Frimping got on the ball a few times on that side and made some good runs.

I thought Chiesa looked off the pace and lost in the second half, before being our first player substituted. Suddenly, with Bradley and Frimpong pushing on, we had some good triangles.

I wouldn't be looking to play that starting 11 again if I had other options.

He is not lacking in that imo. He works very well with the players around him and he spots runs by team mates and gaps in the other team's play very well.


He might not be a nailed on starter level player (or at least of the level we might want) but he is easily good enough to be a quality squad player that can cover three or four positions.

I agree but I’m trying to work out what Arne doesn’t see in him. Arne recently said he sees his best position being central which is understandable with his lack of out & out pace, but so has Gakpo & Mo these days.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Which is disappointing as what he lacks in pace, guile or whatever he more than makes up for with effort & passion.

I'm not saying Chiesa is the answer long term, he isn't but unfortunately for him if by some miracle he does get a start and doesn't play well, it's 'That's why he shouldn't start'. He's in such a tough spot that he has to take every single opportunity or else. He won't be here much longer anyways and it's pretty obvious that Slot doesn't rate him whatsoever.

What did you guys think of his performance the other day? Worthy of a starting place ahead of Salah for the next few months?

Apart from the highlights I’ve only seen the 1st half & I was perplexed why we refused to attract using the right side for the majority of that half. We played it across the back line & Konate refused to keep it going but elected to go back to the left side. No doubt it was Slots tactics but Chiesa was trying to make runs in behind but being overlooked repeatedly. They played 2 long balls over the top that were over hit & went out for a GK so not Fede’s fault. I’d certainly give him another start in one of the next few matches

Sick to the back teeth of how Endo and Chiesa get **** all from Slot. Klopp would be using both of them frequently.

[peterbread]

Finally ****ing starting Endo. I’d love to see that in the match thread
