New Liverpool signing Jeremy Jacquet was heavily criticised in the French media as Mason Greenwood helped Marseille beat Rennes on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
The Reds completed the signing of Rennes centre-back Jacquet on transfer deadline day, in a deal worth \u00a360m, with the France Under-21 international to finish the season in France before moving to Anfield in the summer.<\/p>\n
Jacquet\u2019s first encounter since agreeing a transfer to Liverpool<\/a> was against Marseille with former Manchester United striker Greenwood giving him a torrid time in a 3-0 defeat.<\/p>\n Amine Gouiri, Greenwood and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the goals as Marseille beat Rennes in the Round of 16 of the French Cup and the media ripped into Jacquet for his performance.<\/p>\n Now he\u2019s moved to one of the biggest clubs in world football, everything the new Liverpool signing does for his current club will scrutinised and GetFootballNewsFrance rated<\/a> Jacquet a 5\/10 against Marseille.<\/p>\n The outlet said: \u2018Now he\u2019s been bought by Liverpool, the \u20ac50m price-tag is already hanging over each performance with supporters of the\u00a0Reds\u00a0watching.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Predicting the 2026\/27 starting XIs of the Big Six: who signs Anderson and are Gyokeres, Isak dropped?<\/a><\/p>\n \u2018His advanced positions on the ball were interesting, but he looked exposed defensively in the second half, especially with Greenwood\u2019s pace on the counter-attack.\u2019<\/p>\n MaxiFoot thought that rating was generous<\/a>, grading him as a 4\/10 for Rennes on Tuesday night, before stating: \u2018Jeremy Jacquet: Despite his late return from Liverpool, the Stade Rennais centre-back started the match and did his best despite the recent turmoil. The Reds\u2019 future star was caught out by Gouiri for the opening goal, but he couldn\u2019t have foreseen Merlin\u2019s mistake.<\/p>\n \u2018He was then solid against the Algerian and frequently cleared danger in his own penalty area. Like his defensive teammates, however, the Breton was poorly positioned for Greenwood\u2019s goal.\u2019<\/p>\n While another French publication, RFI<\/a>, were also far from impressed:\u00a0\u2018Gouri found Mason Greenwood racing through an undefended inside-right channel. The English attacker advanced into the box and slotted into the far corner.<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 \u2018New Liverpool recruit Jeremy Jacquet, who had been caught upfield, gestured in bewilderment at his fellow Rennes defenders. Rennes did not learn. In the 82nd minute of a scrappy match, Greenwood again found a huge space in the same area.\u2019<\/p>\n And Liverpool \u2013 who were branded \u201csuckers\u201d over the Jacquet signing by\u00a0Christophe Dugarry<\/a> \u2013 could soon sign a new defender, who can play right-back and centre-back in three-man defence, with TuttoMercatoWeb insisting that<\/a> Roma star Zeki Celik \u2018hasn\u2019t yet listened (but will soon) to the Premier League\u2019s offers, especially Liverpool\u2019s.\u2019<\/p>\n While his own club Roma, who intend to tie up Celik to a new contract, \u2018haven\u2019t made an official offer yet. Time is running out, the player is waiting, but there\u2019s not much room for negotiations yet\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New Liverpool signing Jeremy Jacquet was heavily criticised in the French media as Mason Greenwood helped Marseille beat…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":280534,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1100,61,60,127399,1101,135684,43,1102,112],"class_list":["post-280533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-home-page","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-jeremy-jacquet","tag-liverpool","tag-mason-greenwood","tag-news","tag-premier-league","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
