Gakpo’s inclusion especially feels spot-on: he’s become the connective tissue in Liverpool’s attack rather than the finisher, and his cutback manipulation is a perfect example of contribution that rarely trends but consistently tilts games. Even so, he is also becoming a lightning rod for criticism with an increasing number of Liverpool fans not happy of him doing the same thing over and over. Go figure.
Let me guess, Paul - the sentiment remains unchanged despite what he has done against United. And those are the same people who now call for sacking Slot (?!) for not playing Chiesa enough...
‘Constant threat’ definitely feels like the right way to describe Doku. I always find the game infinitely more exciting when he’s playing. Football must be so fun when you can effortlessly beat and dribble past defenders with absolute ease. At times I do wonder how you can be that good and only get limited playing time, but that’s the blessing of an embarrassment of riches.
