Pep Guardiola has reportedly delivered a bold assessment of a Liverpool attacker, claiming the player possesses greater potential than Vinicius Jr — but is being held back by poor management. According to Guardiola, Arne Slot has not utilised the player effectively, limiting his opportunities and impact on the team.
Guardiola’s remarks come after he was reportedly impressed by the player’s standout performance against Bournemouth, a display that drew the City manager’s attention to his raw talent and explosive ability. He believes that with consistent playing time and proper development, the Liverpool forward could become one of the most dangerous attackers in world football.
The comments have sparked debate among fans, many of whom share Guardiola’s frustration at seeing such potential underused. For supporters, it raises a painful question: is Liverpool wasting a generational talent through inconsistent selection and questionable tactical decisions?
As pressure mounts on the manager to unlock the full capabilities of his squad, Guardiola’s unexpected endorsement adds fuel to an already heated discussion about Liverpool’s current direction and player development.
