Steven Gerrard Rebukes Liverpool Over Missing Marc Guehi and Antoine Semenyo to Man City

His on-air criticism highlights recruitment gaps in a season when Liverpool added no mid-season help.

Overview

  • Gerrard voiced his frustration on TNT Sports during Saturday's FA Cup semi-final coverage as Manchester City beat Southampton to reach the final.
  • He said Marc Guehi and Antoine Semenyo should be playing for Liverpool and argued the pair would have made a big difference to the Reds.
  • Both players joined Manchester City in January and have been credited with lifting the team in the run-in, with Semenyo reported at eight goals in 21 games.
  • Reports say Liverpool nearly completed a deal for Guehi last summer before Crystal Palace pulled out late, while City landed Semenyo by activating a release clause and offering stronger terms.
  • The remarks sharpen scrutiny on Liverpool's planning after an injury-hit year without January signings and increase pressure to reinforce key areas in the summer window.
