Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has finally broken his silence following the team’s shocking 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Plymouth, delivering a harsh assessment of Federico Chiesa.
Watching the match from his apartment, Klopp reportedly didn’t hold back, making it clear that the Italian winger doesn’t have a future at Anfield.
“I watched every minute, analyzing every movement. Honestly, he should start packing his bags and leave Liverpool,” Klopp allegedly stated, further fueling frustration over Chiesa’s underwhelming performances.
His comments have sent shockwaves through the fanbase, given his deep understanding of what it takes to succeed at the club.
Anyone who witnessed the game would understand Klopp’s blunt verdict. Chiesa struggled throughout—failing to beat defenders, misplacing passes, and offering no attacking threat.
The fact that he had fewer shots than the goalkeeper only added to the embarrassment. This wasn’t just an off day; it raised serious concerns about his ability to thrive at Liverpool.
Signed for £30 million to add creativity and energy to the attack, Chiesa has fallen far short of expectations. Klopp’s remarks echo the growing frustration among fans, many of whom now believe he’s doing more harm than good.
Calls for his departure are intensifying, with supporters convinced he simply doesn’t fit.
To make matters worse, Klopp isn’t the only one voicing concerns. Current manager Arne Slot has also questioned Chiesa’s performances.
When both the former and current bosses are critical, it’s a telling sign. His struggles to adapt to Liverpool’s system are becoming increasingly apparent, and the club may be forced to make a decision soon.
With Liverpool still competing on multiple fronts, they can’t afford to carry underperforming players.
If Chiesa doesn’t turn things around quickly, his time at Anfield could be cut short. Right now, his future at the club looks bleak, and unless his performances improve, an exit seems inevitable.
