Guéhi Shocked by Chiesa’s Impact

Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi has sparked huge debate after singling out Federico Chiesa as the most dangerous Liverpool player in their Premier League clash on Saturday. Despite Palace’s dominant victory by a wide margin, Guéhi confessed he had never faced such an aggressive attacker — even recalling his battles during his time at Chelsea.

“Yes, we won by a wide margin, but honestly I’ve never seen such a dangerously aggressive player like him, not even during my time at Chelsea. It’s just unfortunate Arne Slot didn’t have enough time to prove himself yesterday,” Guéhi admitted in his post-match interview.

Chiesa’s Incredible Cameo

The Italian forward once again proved his worth despite only being introduced in the second half. In just over 20 minutes of play, Chiesa’s pace, direct runs, and fearless dribbling completely unsettled Palace’s defense. Analysts rated his display 9/10, calling him Liverpool’s brightest spark in an otherwise disappointing evening.

Guéhi continued: “Every time he touched the ball, Liverpool looked sharper, more dangerous, more alive in attack. He deserves to be starting. If he plays more minutes, Liverpool can only get better.”

Not Rio, Not Jones – But Chiesa

Fans expected Guéhi to praise youngsters like Jarell Quansah (Rio) or Curtis Jones, but instead, he chose Chiesa, making it clear the Italian’s impact was undeniable. With 2 goals and 2 assists in 6 appearances this season, five of them coming as a substitute, Chiesa has already become a fan favorite.

Liverpool Fans Demand Change

Supporters quickly took to social media after Guéhi’s comments, blasting Arne Slot for leaving Chiesa on the bench once again. Many believe Slot must build his attack around the Italian if Liverpool are to compete at the highest level this season.

One fan wrote: “How many times does Chiesa need to prove himself? He’s our best attacker right now.” Another added: “Guéhi is right — Chiesa is pure fire. Slot needs to wake up.”

The Big Question for Arne Slot

With Liverpool struggling for consistency and key players underperforming, Slot is under immense pressure to make bold choices. Chiesa’s repeated brilliance off the bench has left fans, pundits, and even opposition players demanding the same thing: give Chiesa a starting role.
