Cody Gakpo made only his third Liverpool start of the season when lining up at Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday
There were few forwards more impressive than Cody Gakpo at the European Championship this summer. The casual observer, then, would be confused seeing the Holland international regularly on the bench this season for Liverpool. Former Reds striker Dean Saunders, though, believes it is a encouraging sign of the strength in depth at the disposal of new Anfield head coach Arne Slot - even if Gakpo has been somewhat unfortunate not to feature more regularly.
“Gakpo has been unlucky at Liverpool but he was good at the Euros,' he said. 'There’s always been a question mark as to whether he’s good enough to play - bearing in mind he walked into a front three which was the best in the world in terms of Mane, Salah and Firmino. 'Jota has come in alongside Nunez who looks a handful and there’s a player in there. He has a knack of missing chances but there’s a player there. 'And then there’s Diaz who replaced Mane.
