Liverpool Fans Call for Sale of ‘Lazy’ Star Who Uses Games as Weekly Stroll
Liverpool fans were left frustrated and unimpressed with Cody Gakpo’s performance during their recent win over Brighton. Despite the team coming from behind to secure a 2-1 victory, fans criticized Gakpo for his lack of effort and contribution during his late cameo appearance.
The match started off with a goal from Brighton’s Danny Welbeck within the first two minutes. However, Liverpool quickly turned the game around with goals from Luis Diaz and Mo Salah, allowing them to claim the top spot in the Premier League. Despite this success, fans couldn’t help but express their disappointment with Gakpo.
Supporters took to social media to voice their frustration, with many calling for Gakpo to be sold during the summer transfer window. One fan criticized the player’s lack of effort, stating, “Surely Gakpo needs to be sold this summer. There’s no way Michael Edwards or Richard Hughes are watching this guy jog after being subbed on and are thinking he’s got a long-term future at this club.”
Another fan expressed their frustration, claiming that Gakpo treats Liverpool games as his “weekly stroll.” This sentiment was echoed by a third fan who called for Gakpo’s departure, stating, “Cody Gakpo coming on and refusing to even jog in a must-win game with 5 minutes to go. Get him gone.”
The lack of effort from Gakpo during his brief appearance on the pitch left fans puzzled and disappointed. One fan pleaded for an explanation, asking, “Can someone please explain to me why Cody Gakpo is jogging? This guy got subbed in, and he’s already tired.”
Gakpo has often been used as a rotation option by manager Jurgen Klopp, with players like Salah, Diaz, and Darwin Nunez being preferred in the starting lineup. However, the Dutch striker has still managed to contribute to the team’s success this season, scoring 13 goals in 43 games for Liverpool.
Despite his contributions, it seems that Gakpo’s lackluster performance against Brighton has led to calls for his departure. Liverpool fans are hoping that the club will address this issue during the upcoming transfer window.
In other transfer news, Liverpool is reportedly preparing a move for the “next Mo Salah,” but they face competition for the £51 million Eintracht Frankfurt star. It remains to be seen how the club will navigate the transfer market and address the concerns raised by fans regarding Gakpo’s performance.
It is clear that Liverpool fans expect a high level of dedication and effort from their players, and Gakpo’s lackluster display against Brighton has left them questioning his future at the club. As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Liverpool to see how they respond to these calls for change.
