Guéhi Stunned by Chiesa’s Impact
Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi has ignited debate after naming Federico Chiesa as Liverpool’s most dangerous weapon in Saturday’s Premier League clash. Despite Palace cruising to a commanding win, Guéhi admitted the Italian forward left a lasting impression.
“Yes, we won by a wide margin, but honestly I’ve never faced such a dangerously aggressive attacker — not even during my Chelsea days. It’s just unfortunate Arne Slot didn’t have more time yesterday,” Guéhi confessed post-match.
⚡ Chiesa’s Game-Changing Cameo
Introduced in the second half, Chiesa needed little more than 20 minutes to make his mark. His blistering pace, fearless dribbles, and relentless direct play rattled Palace’s backline, injecting life into a faltering Liverpool attack. Analysts handed him a 9/10 rating, calling him “Liverpool’s brightest spark on a bleak night.”
Guéhi didn’t hold back his admiration:
“Every time he touched the ball, Liverpool looked sharper, more dangerous, more alive. He deserves to be starting. With him on the pitch longer, Liverpool can only improve.”
❌ Not Rio, Not Jones – But Chiesa
Many expected praise for Liverpool’s youngsters like Jarell Quansah (Rio) or Curtis Jones, but Guéhi singled out Chiesa instead, underscoring the Italian’s undeniable influence.
So far this season, Chiesa has 2 goals and 2 assists in 6 appearances — remarkably, five of those games came from the bench. His efficiency and flair have quickly made him a fan favorite at Anfield.
🔴 Fans Demand Slot Acts
Liverpool supporters erupted on social media after Guéhi’s remarks, slamming Arne Slot for persisting with Chiesa as a substitute.
- “How many times does Chiesa need to prove himself? He’s our best attacker right now.”
- “Guéhi is right — Chiesa is pure fire. Slot needs to wake up.”
The chorus is growing louder: build the attack around Chiesa.
❓ Slot’s Big Dilemma
With Liverpool struggling for consistency and key stars misfiring, Slot faces mounting pressure. Chiesa’s repeated brilliance off the bench has turned into a burning question: why isn’t he starting?
One thing is certain — even in defeat, Chiesa was Liverpool’s best player with a 9/10 rating.
