Liverpool’s recent match against Leeds has highlighted a familiar problem on the left side: winger Cody Gakpo often ignores overlapping left-back Milos Kerkez.
During the first half, fans took to social media to express frustration, saying Gakpo’s predictable play is holding back the team’s attacks. Many joked that Kerkez is “doing the beep test” trying to get involved.
Fan reactions included:
- “Why won’t Gakpo pass to Kerkez?”
- “Release him, man, for goodness’ sake.”
- “Kerkez is basically running non-stop because of Gakpo.”
- “Gakpo ignores Kerkez again—what does the guy have to do to get the ball?”
The issue has sparked debate over Liverpool’s left-flank play
