Welcome to Liverpool Cody Gakpo

[DerKrampus]

Our attack needs freshening up. In my mind one of Diaz or Gakpo needs to be moved on. Diaz works relentlessly but end product can be missing, gakpo has spells where he's on it. Toss of a coin which one I guess. I'd probably keep Diaz.

No way I'd keep Diaz over Gakpo. Gakpo has risen to his early levels and taken it into International football, hopefully he'll do so for the upcoming season.

But Diaz has been stellar at CONCACAF - I'd keep Gakpo though because of his age, Dutch connection and he can play in multiple positions.

SELL DIAZ. Play Gakpo from the left. Sorted.

[Corndog]

Yeah, Bob ****knuckle from Brentford is much quicker than a full international.

Yes exactly, especially players from teams who are mid to lower table as they rely a lot more on their physicality and on quick counter attacks against the top sides.

You hear players say the prem is quicker than European club football all the time, including the CL, so it’s not unreasonable to think the prem can be quicker than an international tournament like the euros

And it seems that Diaz would move to PSG or Spain if offered the chance, flirting with other clubs is annoying.

Odd though that we've overloaded the team on the left but only have Salah on the right, Edwards would have vetoed Gakpo at the time I think.

We do have Szobo, Elliot , Gordon & Doak who can play in Mo’s position but Klopp didn’t rotate or sub Mo much at all.

I understand when you're in need of a goal you don't take Mo off, but there were plenty of games where I think we should have taken the opportunity to rest him but have him on the bench ready to go if we needed to step things up.

Quite surprised that we didn't manage his game minutes a bit more, keep him fresher. I know Mo wouldn't take well to it, but I think he'd have been a lot more energised towards the end of the season if we had been a bit cleverer.

Totally agree mate but unfortunately we saw the petulant side of him last season. I think that could be one of Slots biggest issues this season in how well he manages Mo.

It's why ideally he would of been sold. Save Arne the inevitable backlash when he drops him.

You can see it’s going to happen hey. I think Slot needs to have a 1 on 1 chat to him sooner rather than later ( and probably everyone else too ) & tell them there’s going to be rotation no matter who you are. Team first & all that.

[vlahka]

I wish gakpo played for us with half the zeal he does for netherlands. Annoys me.

His hair seems to have been sold.

We’ll use it on the statue we build after he’s sold for upwards of £100m

End of season he had the same intensity for us as well.

Looking forward to next season.

Agreed, he was playing really well in the latter part of the season and has just continued that form into the Euros.

Maybe in the last quarter at best. The first 3/4 of the season we were calling him lazy and jurgen even yelled at him which made him pick up his feet after. But it still wasnt the same as the displays he does now. Hes not only running more hes also trying to muscle people away, fit in areas that are beyond difficult, even yelling at players and the ref. Did none of those.
