SOME Liverpool fans. Gakpo is a an excellent player, he just happens to be our 5th choice forward. As in the video, he just has a bit of a weird profile. Tall but not great in the air, big but not strong, good top speed but no acceleration. He’s a good finisher, gets on the end of chances well but struggles in the build up. Often either winning a free kick, which is fine but often stops an attack or does the predictable cut in and shoot. It’s harsh for people to say he needs to turn it around, his form isn’t that bad. Just the natural ebb and flow of things for a forward.

I'll admit I'm one of those fans. But I've never not backed or felt sorry for a player before. Gakpo is the first player, supporting the club since '98, that I've genuinely despised. I'd like to be proven wrong, but he makes absolutely zero effort if things aren't going his way, reminds me of a united player. I can forgive mistakes, lack of talent. Can't forgive players that throw their arms in the air and walk about while the rest of the team is putting a shift in. I really want him gone. I think he's eredevise level.

I remember when Cody just joined us he appeared very intellectual and mature for me. As Jürgen said Cody is the oldest 24 yrs old player he's ever seen. The quality is there. If he is struggling, someone else should share the blame.

Cody has scored many crunch goals....it's just a bad phase that shall pass

It's not about him being bad. It's the lack of workrate and intensity fans pick up on. Liverpool fans notoriously love any player who works their ass off. See Kuyt, Lucas, Endo, Nunez.

Gakpo was a player Liverpool needed at the time, with Nunez still adjusting. Now that Nunez is the 9, Gakpo doesn’t give the tenacity and discipline that Diaz has.

I really like Gakpo, I dont understand the hate for him. Every player has a run of terrible form, but they almost always find it again, and when Gakpo is on form he is dangerous.

I think many are forgetting that this is either the debut season for some players for Liverpool, debut season in the EPL or adjusting to rotating frequently instead of playing week in, week out (assuming the player isn't injured, of course). Most of us didn't expect Liverpool to be this monstrous with the midfield rebuild and young talent coming in (having won one trophy already) and hell, I'd go as far as to say most of us didn't expect some or all the newer players to come in like a freight train and run over opponents (Szobo, Macca, Endo, Bradley, etc) and yet here we are so even though I too get frustrated with some of them making the wrong decision before turning the ball over to the opponents, a part of me expects it because again, many of them were not expected to hit Halaand or Salah levels in their debut seasons. And side note, beating Chelsea in the Caraboa final was heavily celebrated because honestly, most of us Liverpool fans didn't expect them to win it (harsh, I know but it's true) and if Liverpool had lost, most of us and neutral fans would've expected Chelsea to win anyway. As for United in the FA cup, this one hurts more because we were expected to win (even though it's Old Trafford) because we had the better run of form and United have been as topsy turvy as a drunk stripper during happy hour this season and even their own fans had low expectations going in so when they won it, their reaction was understandable because they were the underdogs going in and I'm not going to use the Europa league match on the Thursday before as an excuse (while United, much like Chelsea with the Caraboa cup final) had a week to rest and prepare) because I don't understand why Klopp played many of the first team he had available in the Europa match because you could see some of them was clearly fatigued in the United game. We had Sparta beaten already 5 - 1 (there's no way in hell they could have scored 4 or 5 unanswered goals at Anfield, even with a younger side like Lewis, Clark, Danns, maybe Adrian in goal) so why did Klopp field or bring on the starters just before the trip to Old Trafford? Anyway, I'm not mad about the FA cup result and I'm not mad about missing out on the quadruple because I prioritized the league and Europa even before Klopp's announcement.... I'm just disappointed

Well said, I completely agree

Its no surprise. Even Nunez was heavily criticized towards the end of last year for not scoring but he was able to make an impressive comeback this year. Gakpo needs to step up. But its also unfortunate since he shares his natural position with Diaz and Diaz is the number 1 preference.

Gakpo is a brilliant player especially if we are playing against a team with a low block

Gakpo has developed a mental complex with the emergence of Danns. He was comfortable until Danns got that double in the FA cup. He needs to refocus on the tasks at hand. Klopp has built LFC into a rotation machine where anyone can fill in for the other.! Time for all to refocus and get back to winning ways and rund the rest of the schedule with 10 straight wins!

When u say the fans…. It’s not the match going fans,they know his class.The 2 goals he scored against Utd … cutting inside & smashing it into the corner & then the delicate chip …. Football is art & this guy paints a pretty picture …if u can’t see that then your just a stat merchant

Main issue with Gakpo is he does not leave it all out on the field every game, he seems like hes always conserving energy for something but never goes full tilt. Earlier on he showed more passion with bursts of speed and challenges but recently that has changed imo.

He lacks acceleration despite having good top speed once he gets going. I think that’s why it looks that way. Tough to get them long legs moving!

I felt that. I'm one of those who have been critical...after this awesome analysis I wish for him to stay and get the best out of him, it is just a phase, he is talented he will shine, do coaches even watch ths smart reviews?

Form is temporary, class is permanent.

Blame it on headloss!

he is not even strugling he has 1 less goal than jota and 1 more than diaz. He is just in some bad form atm.

I am all for Gakpo...

He's started in every game we've lost this season...

Last year it was Robbo and Gomez getting ripped apart for no reason, now it's Gakpo. Quite funny that everyone loves Robbo and Gomez again this year. Just people always wanting to hate and blame for no reason.

We let Untied score 4 goals against us - this fact isn't Gakpos fault. We scored 3 goals, that should be enough but wasn't due to our own msitakes.

New subscriber 🎉

Only a small group are moaning ,the rest can see

Gakpo definitely has the talent. It's just the system we play. Salah and Diaz stay wide, so we need a central presence in the box. It used to be Mane and Salah playing as inside forwards, so Bobby could drop. Not anymore.

When his played at LW his looked good...can't blame for being out of position

I think the current system, moving towards a traditional 9 with Nuñez rather than a false 9 like Bobby, doesn't help Gakpo because he isn't really a tricky winger like Diaz, nor is he an out-and-out striker. But he is clearly a good enough player, albeit his lack of minutes limits how comfortable he looks on the pitch sometimes. I personally think he couldn't be more perfect for Alonso's current Leverkusen tactic in one of the 'free 10s'. Given the freedom to roam in the space betweent the oppositions defence and midfield, as well as drifting wide, could suit him perfectly and return him to being a focal point like he was at PSV due to his clever movement and liking to use his first touch on the turn. At the same time, I think it would be to Diaz' detriment as more of a direct winger he may not suit having to play more in central areas. Either way, one game where he came on as a sub and didn't do much at a time the whole team was poor is not going to be my yard stick for whether he has a long future at the club or not.

Honestly don't see anything bad about his season. He got goals and assists... The Epl is a difficult league even when deployed to his favorite role, he would still struggle.

It seems only media types are calling Gakpo. I've not seen or heard the same anywhere else.

The fact that he is pinpointed for losing to Man U, and not mix up of Elliot and Diaz, is irrelevant. We want UCL top seed in 24/25! Actually, Gakpo saved our legs for EPL & UEL top spot challenges. Winning both or one will get us the seeds. I thought he was playing increasingly better his last 6 games: from hopeless to respectable. Keep the faith!

Klopp and the training staff completely destroyed his confidence when they started playing him in midfield. Stuff he would have done automatically before now take that one second longer.

The hate hes getting because this guy lately has been playing like an absolute fridge, his pace is gone, Dalot got to the ball before him and he was ahead. He cannot win a header from a lobbed pass, despite being 6"4 in height, contrast to Endo whos 5"10 and has the headers win for a DM this season and not to forget his agility has been in the mud, constantly loses the ball and poor decision making in the passing department. I will still support him as hes one of our players, but hes fallen way off the mark from last season.

All he needs to do is get involved in play again and stop second guessing himself in front of goal. His decisiveness is what got him all those goals last year

Form. Temporary. Class. Permanent.

Gakpo is an undoubted talent but yet to show his ability at Liverpool. Yes he is played out of position but he can be infuriating at times and needs to perform better when starting games. A great asset on the bench nonetheless.

Nah. Gakpo is struggling because he tendency to drop and ask fit the ball to feet is but a good fit because the midfield, especially with Macca in the 8, is able to get between the lines. So he's ending up in the spaces that the 8s want. The creativity in mid needs an outlet, so penetrating runs are more valuable and productive than playing in the hole. This is true both in the wings and through the middle in the current version of the Liverpool attack.

Liverpool cannot utilize him as a focal point because he is very poor with his head

I think he cant give over 🙄 Go on bro

He's so inconsistent and flits in and out of games, often choosing the wrong options eg. shooting instead of passing etc. He's not terrible, but neither has he impressed. He's consistently inconsistent. Not worth £44m based on his performances so far but lets hope he comes good eventually...

Change the manager they will cook

Gakpo will turn it around the evidence from last season showed that... but just like others players have and will have he's going through bad form it happens .. but it seems to be a trend to continuously hammer players when they're low on confidence

I'm ok with gokpo, some people just complain because they can.

Very true. Diaz was Mane replacement. That’s why Klopp plays him everywhere like I said. Nunez gave the ball away, Elliot also gave the ball away and everyone is blaming Cody??? WTF

every time i see him play or do anything i just think he looks like a winger 100%, the only reason he’d be a striker is cus he’s tall or cus he’s good at shooting but that isn’t gonna be wasted on the wing cus with trent and robbo at fullback he can win headers at the back post, fullbacks in the prem are often under 6 foot so they’d struggle to mark him. I think he struggles to turn in the middle cus he’s not good at checking his shoulder before he gets the ball which he can work on for sure but getting out wide with ur man infront of u looks way more comfortable for him

cody is going through a patch, but he has also been out of position in most of his games he will be okay but it just sucks because he need him now

i think he’ll be the backup LW for diaz as that’s his best position then diaz will probably go to barca in the next couple years and that left wing spot will be seen as gakpos until he proves he’s not good enough there which i don’t think he’ll do

Gakpo and Gravenberch will be the type of players Xabi Alonso relies on, if he becomes our next manager. I’ve no doubt both will flourish under a manager like Alonso.
