Liverpool fans were frustrated after seeing the lineup for the Premier League match against Leeds United — especially because Cody Gakpo was once again named in the starting XI.
Many supporters joked that Gakpo must have some sort of influence over Arne Slot, since the manager continues to start him despite poor form.
Here’s what some fans said:
- “Gakpo must have something on Slot.”
- “Gakpo again? Just shoot me.”
- “Slot must be in a relationship with Gakpo — that’s the only explanation.”
- “Gakpo has to be related to Slot. This is unbelievable.”
- “Does Gakpo have dirt on Slot or what?”
- “How does Slot keep picking Gakpo?”
Arne Slot has dismissed the idea that Gakpo lacks competition for his place and even mentioned Ngumoha as an option
