Chiesa puts in under par Liverpool display as Reds crash out of FA Cup

Federico Chiesa endured a difficult outing as Liverpool were shockingly eliminated from the FA Cup by Championship side Plymouth Argyle.

Despite playing the full 90 minutes, the Italian winger struggled to make an impact, completing just one of ten dribbles, losing possession 29 times, and recording a 66% pass accuracy.

Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler had urged Chiesa to show more work rate before the game, while ITV pundit Karen Carney criticized his performance as "poor." Liverpool managed only four shots on target, with Chiesa standing out as one of the worst performers.

This defeat follows his underwhelming display in Liverpool’s recent Champions League loss to PSV Eindhoven. Speculation continues about his potential return to Serie A amid his struggles to impress under new coach Arne Slot.
