Cody Gakpo

West Ham 1 Liverpool 2 – Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.0 The only man we want to see in our goal, the giant Brazilian is irreplaceable. Was perhaps unsighted for the opening goal, yet it was a shot he would usually deal with. His handling was solid through a frantic first half. The second half was about being alert and strong against...

Could Marcus Edwards Be the Perfect Backup Signing?

I’ve been looking at various players that Liverpool could look to recruit this summer, and more recently, those could replace the role of Diogo Jota within the squad. If reports are to be believed, Newcastle are currently hovering over the Portuguese forward, and it would not be absurd to see us cash in on...

Fighting Front Three From Five: Bring It On

It still seems almost crazy when you think back to Sunday’s events. Seven goals and more importantly four of Liverpool’s senior forwards found themselves on the scoresheet. With Bobby Firmino’s departure being announced this week, a lot of the reminiscing has quite rightly been about the original front three and how Mo Salah will...

Cody Gakpo – Our Diamond Player to Replace Bobby

In a recent article from a few weeks back, I stated that I saw Cody Gakpo as a return to the false nine. I get the feeling that the ultra-attacking system (that was in mind last summer), is now making way for a more trusted and positional savvy system. As I have said before,...

Front Three: Keep It The Same … For Now

Jurgen Klopp was clear and direct in his press conference on Friday morning. Liverpool have some knocks from the Real Madrid game, so they have and want to make changes to the line-up. Who and what they might be is open to speculation until 6:45pm on Saturday night, but the manager talked about focusing...

Cody Gakpo & The New False 9…

When Liverpool was at their Premier & Champions League winning peak, there were certain players that were able to drive the team to a brilliantly unbeatable standard. In goal we had the best stopper on the planet, at fullback we had the most ridiculously attacking wide men who would consistently service the attack, in...

Newcastle 0 – 2 Liverpool – PL Player Ratings

Newcastle 0 - 2 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 9.0 The monstrous keeper made some vital first half saves, one which was a brilliant one on one stop to keep the scores level. So quick off his line and really papered over some cracks within the reds shield. Was not overly busy in...

Lessons Learned In Win Over Everton

Ahhh ... I love the smell of a derby victory in the morning! Probably like most Reds who’ve been sampling every bit of content they can, Liverpool aren’t fully back but you can relive the key movements from the match again without your eyes closed. The scoreline didn’t flatter them and whilst there will...

Klopp Defence of Gakpo: Long-Term Future Hint?

Another week and another embargo section. Maybe not as exciting as the last one, but there was a telling focus on the recent attacking struggles. Whilst most of the attention was focused towards Mo Salah and his own recent issues, Jurgen Klopp was asked about and passionately defended new signing Cody Gakpo, whilst also...

Liverpool 0 – 0 Chelsea – PL Player Ratings

Liverpool 0 - 0 Chelsea - PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 8.0 Recalled to the side and was the decisive component in keeping the blues scoreless in the first half. His importance is both invaluable and worrying, as top sides shouldn't continue to rely on their goalkeeper. James Milner - 5.0 Struggled to adapt to a few...
