Liverpool ace Cody Gakpo makes worrying comment after Van Dijk chat

Klopp has been impressed by Gakpo’s pressing abilities and is not concerned that the attacker is yet to score. The Liverpool boss said at the end of January: “His defending is outstanding. Okay, we bought a striker and talk about defending but his defending in the central position is outstanding. That’s what we need.”

The German continued: You can see in his finishing, he is a sensational finisher and his shooting from distance is outstanding.

“I’m completely happy. People will say he didn’t score but coming in as a striker in our team in this moment, congratulations, and then getting judged because you don’t score, that’s really cool.”
