Cody Gakpo

[dicko1969]

Not seen any change of pace in him yet.. he needs something. You can't get away with being slow across the ground not up front.

Yep looks very one paced.
Saw him at the wc and thought what's everyone raving about ?
I hope he comes good.
He has to come good.
Like said , best suited at no9 .
No pace for the wing.

I think Darwin is better suited out wide, pace, and attack full backs. Plus he is good in the air for 2nd post crosses.

Will be great when we have

Jota Diaz Firmino Darwin Salah Gakpo Carvalho Elliott Doak options

Could we see Gakpo as a no8 ?

Certainly not a winger. Not in a klopp team.
We'll see.

Awful start to his Liverpool career, found it strange Jurgen kept him in the middle when Darwin came on who went on the left.

Hopefully Madueke doesn't turn out to be the better signing..

Give him time, he showed something in world cup and has good stats previously

doesn't help it's a shitshow around him at the moment

Gakpo was a LW for his club and apparently his favoured position.
In the WC LVG asked him to play as something of CAM together with DePay.
Holland had no recognised striker.
I think Gakpo was maybe joint top scorer in WC.
He apparently is very fast.

Give time to lad. He come on middle of a season when Liverpool are struggle a lot, not only on attack. He Como to a team that are lacking consistency and quality so it's almost impossible he makes the same impact than Luis Diaz last January because we are on a lot worse situation thank last year

Apparently as he walked off the pitch yesterday Gakpo was heard to say “fuck for this…”

[Daffydd]

He gets us.

Wouldn't blame him. Had landed smack bang in the middle of a disjointed, low-on-confidence mess and we're having to aim to grind out wins via tightening up at the back rather than being a dominant, attacking force.

But we can turn it around after a grind and he can experience some of the highs that come with this club and go from there.

I think Gakpo was bought in a Firmino kind of roll to hold up play as a false 9. Nunez will probably start on the left when he plays along side him. I wouldnt have an issue with Elliot playing in the Salah role. when we rest Mo. I don't think hes good enough in midfield. Time will tell if Gakpo gets enough goals. That was always my gripe with Bobby..

Agreed. And like someone else noted, he's one paced, like bobby.
If he can replicate peak years firmino it'll be worth it.

Still, not sure why we got him over a mf.
My best guess is because these kinds of players end up being worth heaps they do well and klopp wanting a bobby replacement.
