It's time for Arne Slot to finally UNLEASH neglected superstar

One of the most heinous errors Slot has committed so far this season, and probably last season as well has been his neglect of Federico Chiesa.

Every time the Italian is on the pitch, he delivers. Against Sunderland on Wednesday night he made another key contribution.

This time it was not in front of the opponent's goal but a last-minute sprint back to his own goal to deny Wilson Isidor what looked like a certain goal after he rounded Alisson Becker.

It was a remarkable effort from the Liverpool fan favourite and yet more evident example of the desire Chiesa has for the shirt. Never has a player shown such commitment despite playing so few minutes.

You simply cannot argue with the numbers either.
