There is a consistent messiness to Chiesa’s work when he comes on, but I mean [extends arms and gestures to the landscape] look at the situations in which he’s been being used. Almost all of his games have come in periods of structureless confusions where we’re chasing a game. A bit of messiness in his play under those circumstances is understandable.

Its on X that in 29 minutes Chiesa gave the ball away 5 times and was dispossessed 4 times. I just don’t understand this cult status hes made.
They notion that Chiesa second touch is a tackle is more often true.

What cult status? What are you talking about?
Most fans appreciate his work rate and effort, which is more than can be said about every other forward we have. Not to mention that he’s also got something like one goal involvement every 30 minutes or something like that.
I wish his teammates tried as hard as he does when he’s playing.

yeah its gotten silly now…feels like anytime someone mention something ’ what about Chiesa?’ …youre derided as a stupid fan boy…’ slots struggling’ …your being stupid for calling for the manager head…
i dont think anyone apart from the younger innocent fans have him as a cult hero ( and who wants to rob a kid of those moments)…

Remember Didi’s law.
If he said it, it’s bollocks.

Unless it is him falling off a chair!
I loved Didi as a player, but since then, he has history of talking rubbish. I’d ignore him.

Thank you for the replies for the rubbish of Hamann. But Florian Wirtz recieves here in Germany many critize due his performance at LFC.
Opinions like arseholes everyone has one.
From what I’ve gathered the press is so Bayern Munich bias it’s not worth listening to.
It’s not the best of starts but the lads trying and would have had more success if others had been able to hit the barn door.

German football press are all Bayern fans. It’s like watching Fox to get a view on Trump.

That pass out of play and getting nutmegged was hilarious though.
He’ll come good… hopefully.
Fact is he was one of the best in the German league last 2 years before coming to us.
But fact is also he just has not shown anything much of worth here so far.
He is unfortunately going to be judged partly and patience with him will be shorter because of his price tag.
This is going to be a test of his mentality to block out the criticisms and integrate himself into the team, make himself relevant on field and impose himself.
Only people who matter are him and the club.
I’m sure all these ex pros fully settled straight away.

Just baffles me that we spent £116m on a player we have no idea how to use or do with.
We surely had or still have an idea, but the team and players have to perform. The team always comes first and now the players who merit the most, play. There are some other questions how we imagined all this, with the choice of full backs, two strikers, etc. We’re still searching our best XI for now. It’s really not difficult to see sense behind signing Wirtz for a big fee as we were finishing last season. I guess 90% of people from the public (media and fans) were also behind it.

I think Wirtz was our primary target this summer. It seems Ekitike and/or Isak were more opportunistic. We haven’t figured out how to best play with the new players we have. I guess it will take time. Wirtz is class…it’s obvious.
I think it was also pretty obvious we wanted a new main central striker. It was already the autumn of 2024, a few months into Slot’s tenure that I made the prediction he will want us to sign a new #10 and #9. I believed Jota would remain as a backup striker for at least one more season.
We could’ve even got less players than we did and still be in this situation. Obviously on paper it’s better to have Isak and Ekitike than Torres and N’Gog, but yes, it will be interesting to see how all of this pans out. Some things this summer (like timing) were out of our control.
