BREAKING NEWS:‼️ Pep Guardiola slams Arne Slot for misusing Liverpool superstar – claims he would already be fighting for the title at Manchester City.

The rivalry between Manchester City and Liverpool has just taken a fiery new twist after City boss Pep Guardiola made a shocking statement about one of Liverpool’s biggest stars. Speaking ahead of his side’s Premier League preparations, Guardiola admitted that he admires the player’s talent—but believes Arne Slot is wasting his potential.

Guardiola was brutally honest: “He’s a fantastic player, but sadly Arne Slot has no idea how to use him. If I had him here at Manchester City, I’d already be fighting for the Premier League title.”

Though Pep did not hold back on his respect for the player, his remarks serve as a damning indictment of Slot’s tactical approach at Anfield. Many fans believe Guardiola was referring to a forward who has struggled for consistency this season despite his world-class ability—raising questions about whether Liverpool’s system is truly maximizing its attacking options.

The comment has ignited heated debates online. Liverpool supporters are divided, with some admitting the player has been “out of position” or underutilized, while others defended Slot’s vision, insisting that it’s only a matter of time before the star flourishes in his system.

For Guardiola, however, there was no doubt—under his guidance, this Liverpool man would already be dominating the Premier League and lifting Manchester City to new heights.

The claim also adds spice to the ongoing Liverpool vs Manchester City rivalry, which has defined English football in recent years. If Guardiola’s words are anything to go by, the talent gap isn’t the issue at Anfield—it’s how the players are being used.

One thing is clear: if Pep is right, Liverpool could be wasting the very key to unlocking their Premier League and Champions League dreams.
