Probably is, but I still agree with it. Edit: Seems he did say it, the quote is on the Beeb's match report.
The full thing But, speaking just after the game, his manager Arne Slot was left bemused by the incident. "It is not [stupid] because it was his second [yellow] - it's stupid even if you haven't had a yellow card yet," he said. "Maybe I'm a bit old-fashioned but I did score a few goals - not at his level but I did - and if I went past three players and put it in the top corner then maybe you can say 'this is all about me'. "But if I scored a goal like he did tonight, I would turn to Chiesa and say 'it's about you Federico - great assist, great run and I didn't have to do a lot'. Maybe that's me being old-school. "It was stupid, not smart in every sense. The good thing is that his team-mates helped him to get the win over the line, but the thing is he is now suspended for Saturday and that is far from ideal."
It’s true. He did say, he said it a bit tongue in cheek, saying in a bit old school so if it was me….
The league games are coming in tough and tougher. March Guehi supposed to be on the opposition side today, unfortunately it is not so. Hugo Ekitike shot himself in the foot yesterday by getting a second yellow card, he has opened the door for Alaxender Isak to start this game, This is not going to be an easy game, I hope we can get all the points. Game: Chrystal Palace v Liverpool Date: Saturday 27/09/2025 Time: 1500 hours Stadium: Selhurst Park Referee has been appointed for this game., He is Simon Hooper. please log in to view this image Referee: Simon Hooper. Assistants: Adrian Holmes, Simon Long. Fourth official: Ruebyn Ricardo. VAR: Darren England. Assistant VAR: Gary Beswick.
Look he also said he was stupid himself when he got sent off v Everton. Take no prisoners. Im sure that ekitike forgot he had a card and tbh he looked red in the face and embarrassed going off so I see no issue here. He knows himself. The manager knows. He even apologised last night.
Hugo Ekitiké has opened the door for Alexander Isak to start against Crystal Palace, he must have himself to blame for getting a second yellow card.
Called it. Neither cb was willing to bypass the other. Every pass was either hospital pass to a cm 5 yards in front or a sideways 5 harder to their cb buddy. Not one was willing to cut out the cb and get the full back moving on. Delighted with chiesa. Disappointed in nyoni. He will now be on the scrap pile for a loan
Alisson Bradley konate vvd kerkez Grwvenberch Szoboszlai Salah wirtz gakpo Isak Can put on macallister and Chiesa who will be on the bench after the card and performance. Frimpong played his way out of starting imo (really really poor) We are now left hoping we get to January 1 without a cb injury.
Also slot is right. Its a tap in after chiesa was a real pro and made sure we scored rather than scoring himself. Taking your shirt off to celebrate a tap in was juvenile even when you have no yellow already.
Absolutely praying it’s not an ACL. He looked really good last night and the thought of Gomez as back up after last night’s display does not fill me with confidence
An ACL injury is primarily caused by activities involving a sudden change in direction, an awkward landing from a jump, a direct blow to the knee, or sudden stops while running. These movements cause stress on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which connects your thighbone to your shinbone, leading to a stretch or tear.
