He’s way better than Jude and Camavinga and the reason he has reached his potential is because of poor management. Arne Slot did a terrible job managing the lad. If he gave him more playing time he would have helped the team to score” – Joe Cole believes that Liverpool have a player on their roster who has the potential to be as good as if not better Jude Bellingham after he watched his performance against Fulham. It’s really sad that his potential is just being wasted 😭💔 Why was he on the bench in the first place 😨 💔
Joe Cole Slams Arne Slot Over Young Star’s Mismanagement After Liverpool’s Shock Defeat to Fulham
After Liverpool’s shocking 3-2 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage, ex-England international Joe Cole didn’t hold back in his post-match analysis—aiming his frustration squarely at Reds manager Arne Slot.
Cole was particularly vocal about the underutilization of one of Liverpool’s rising stars, who delivered an impressive performance after being introduced from the bench.
“He’s more talented than Jude Bellingham or Camavinga,” Cole declared. “The only reason he hasn’t reached their level is because he’s been poorly managed. Slot hasn’t handled him right—he should’ve started today.”
The young midfielder’s brief cameo saw him inject much-needed creativity and composure into Liverpool’s play, leaving many wondering why he wasn’t in the starting XI.
Supporters were quick to echo Cole’s criticism, taking to social media to express their confusion and disappointment.
“One of our brightest prospects is warming the bench while the team struggles,” one fan wrote on X. “Makes no sense.”
While Liverpool fought back in the latter stages, goals from Rodrigo Muniz and Andreas Pereira had already put Fulham in control. The defeat added pressure on Slot, but the post-match spotlight quickly shifted from the result to his controversial team selection.
With fans and pundits now rallying behind the young player, Slot finds himself under growing scrutiny—not just for results, but for how he’s nurturing the next generation.
If things don’t change soon, Liverpool could face more than just dropped points—they might risk losing one of their most promising talents.
Can Arne Slot adjust before the damage b
ecomes irreversible?
