🚨 BREAKING: “He’s Way Better Than Jude!” – Joe Cole Rips Into Arne Slot After Liverpool’s Fulham Collapse
Joe Cole has delivered a scathing attack on Liverpool manager Arne Slot, accusing him of mishandling one of the club’s brightest young talents following the Reds’ shocking 3-2 loss to Fulham.
> “He’s way better than Jude [Bellingham] and Camavinga,” said Cole after the game. “The only reason he’s not reached that level is poor management. Arne Slot has completely mismanaged the lad.”
Cole’s fury stems from the youngster being benched until late, only to shine instantly with composure, creativity, and energy that Liverpool sorely lacked for most of the match. Fans echoed Cole’s frustration on social media, questioning why such a game-changing talent was ignored until it was too late.
> “It’s really sad his potential is being wasted,” one fan wrote on X. “Why was he even benched?”
Despite a late push, Liverpool couldn’t recover from goals by Rodrigo Muniz and Andreas Pereira. But it’s Slot’s team selection — not just the result — that has sparked a firestorm of backlash.
With Cole’s comments going viral, pressure is mounting on Slot to justify his decisions. If the pattern continues, Liverpool may not just lose matches — they risk losing a future superstar in the making.
All eyes now turn to Anfield next weekend: will Arne Slot finally unleash the player Joe Cole believes is being “wasted”?
