Our weekly Liverpool jury columnists look ahead to Sunday's clash with Newcastle United while also reflecting on the Bournemouth win
Liverpool claimed their first three points of the season last Saturday and will go in search of another victory when taking on Newcastle United this weekend.
Looking ahead to the Reds' upcoming meeting with the Magpies, four supporters have shared their views as part of a weekly ECHO fan column.READ MORE: Liverpool complete double transfer as Leicester midfielder and West Ham defender signI was well and truly made up to be back inside Anfield last weekend, meeting up with good friends and familiar faces I hadn’t seen over the long summer and remembering routines in the glorious sunshine over a number of cold beers.
The Cody Gakpo midfield experiment has not quite worked. In a more advanced role last season, Gakpo was central to the team’s performance. But this season, when played in a midfield position, he has quickly become peripheral in games. Used sparingly, Gakpo may be an option in the midfield at Anfield when we want to unleash more attacking players on the pitch but, as an established midfielder, the early signs are that such a position will stifle his brilliance, rather than unfold it.
At this point last season, the Liverpool faithful questioned everything. After such a high, was this the beginning of the end? Sure, 9-0 and 7-0 wins against Bournemouth and Manchester United gave a glimmer of hope, but the confidence we found in those performances could never be replicated.While it’s way too early in the season, it feels like some of the frailties from the last campaign are well on their way to being resolved. There’s grit and determination unseen in the last year.
