Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s legendary former manager, has broken his silence following the team’s shocking 1-0 defeat to Plymouth in the FA Cup, delivering a brutal assessment of Federico Chiesa. Watching every second of the match from his apartment, Klopp did not hold back, making it clear that the Italian winger has no place in Liverpool’s future.
“I watched every second of the 90 minutes, closely observing their movements. I have to say, he should seriously consider moving his belongings far from Anfield,” Klopp reportedly stated, reinforcing the growing frustration surrounding Chiesa’s performances. His comments have sent shockwaves through the Liverpool fanbase, as they come from a man who built one of the greatest sides in the club’s history and knows exactly what it takes to succeed at Anfield.
Let’s be honest—if you watched that game, you would understand exactly why Klopp made such a strong statement. Chiesa’s display was nothing short of disastrous. His inability to beat defenders, his misplaced passes, and his lack of attacking threat were glaringly obvious. The fact that he registered fewer shots than the goalkeeper only added to the embarrassment. This was not just a bad game; this was a performance that raised serious doubts about his future at the club.
Chiesa was signed for £30 million with the expectation that he would bring dynamism and creativity to Liverpool’s attack, but so far, he has fallen well short of those expectations. Klopp’s words echo the sentiments of many Liverpool fans, who have grown increasingly impatient with the Italian international. Many are now calling for him to be offloaded, believing that his presence in the squad is doing more harm than good.
The situation is further compounded by the fact that Arne Slot, Klopp’s successor, has also expressed his frustration with Chiesa. When both the current and former managers publicly criticize a player, it speaks volumes. It’s becoming clear that Chiesa may not fit into the system, and his continued struggles could force the club to take decisive action.
Liverpool’s season is at a critical juncture, and they cannot afford to carry underperforming players. The team is still competing on multiple fronts, and every game matters. If Chiesa cannot turn things around quickly, his time at Anfield could be cut short. Klopp’s harsh but honest criticism may be the final push that convinces the Liverpool board to make a decision on Chiesa’s future.
As things stand, Chiesa’s days in a Liverpool shirt look numbered. With fans, the current manager, and now a club legend all questioning his value to the team, the writing may already be on the wall. Whether he stays or goes, one thing is clear—if he continues performing like he did against Plymouth, he won’t be at Anfield for much longer.
