"Federico Chiesa is proving Arne Slot right. His cameo at the City Ground - and most of his recent outings to be honest - left a lot to be desired. His touch was loose, he wasn't playing with the same intensity we're used to seeing from him, and he looked erratic in the final third."
"One thing I haven't really taken notice of before is how disjointed he and Hugo Ekitike are when they (attempt to) link up. Maybe it's the fact that Gakpo constantly cuts into the Frenchman's position, or that Ekitike is unable to drift out onto the left as much when his teammate is waiting out there half the time, but they just don't play with any sort of chemistry."
Liverpool secured an unconvincing victory over Nottingham Forest, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring a late winner that masked an otherwise disappointing display. Federico Chiesa continues to struggle in limited minutes, showing loose touch and erratic play in the final third, while young prospect Rio Ngumoha demonstrated superior form. Additionally, the partnership between Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitike lacks cohesion, with Gakpo's one-dimensional play and positional overlaps creating disjointed attacking movements. These issues suggest potential squad adjustments may be necessary as the season reaches its crucial final stretch.
