"Liverpool are now tasked with trying to compete for players of similar caliber that cannot offer as much money.
"It was very, very difficult and while I agree that some of Klopp's recruitment decisions have not paid off, such as bringing in Cody Gakpo from PSV in favor of a new midfielder, every coach Everyone makes mistakes but look at all the mistakes he's made being world smashers - Mo Salah, Sadio Mane, Virgil Van Dijk and Andy Robertson are just a few who have benefited from the reach. German view.
In our opinion, Liverpool fans should be patient with Cody Gakpo. Yes, midfield is an area the Reds need to address, but Gakpo is a very talented and promising young striker who could become the star of the Merseyside club for years to come.

Admittedly, Gakpo has not been able to make a big impact at Liverpool so far, but we need to give him time and patience.
We should evaluate the young player well next season.
The striker has failed to score or assist in three Premier League appearances for Liverpool so far. Gakpo also made three FA Cup appearances for the Red Devils.
