🗣️ 'He's not a striker!' Ex-Netherlands star blames Jurgen Klopp for Cody Gakpo's slow start LFC
When playing for PSV, the forward operated on the left-side, but he has often been used in a more central role by Klopp in the Liverpool front-three.The former Tottenham and Real Madrid playmaker told Ladbrokes: “The biggest surprise for me wasn’t that Liverpool bought Cody Gakpo last month. Look, if you have the sort of tournament he did in Qatar, you’re going to attract interest from a lot of top clubs.
“But, for me, they’ve signed a player who has played his whole career as a left-winger, and in the national team he’s played as a number 10, a second striker… and now he’s playing as a striker? He’s not a striker!Conte releases statement as Tottenham confirm manager will be absent again after surgeryPavard's 'leg-breaking' challenge on Messi, which led to red card, 'ends careers'Grealish reveals quick thinking avoided red card against Arsenal after Man City...
“Why are they playing him as a number nine? He’s a left-winger who can cut inside and cause danger there.” During his time in Eindhoven, Gakpo netted 50 goals and contributed 50 assists during his 159 appearances with the club – with his superb record seeing him awarded the club’s captain’s armband.Liverpool fans will be hopeful he can go to replicate the form he shown back in his homeland.
