Liverpool remain top of the Premier League, but Klopp now has this concern

The case of Cody Gakpo has been a very patient player, because although he started this season, surprisingly, as a starter over the Uruguayan Darwin Nunez, which did not last long, as there were three games where Nunez was relegated to the bench while Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota were in charge of leading the Reds attack.

By the third Premier League game where the Reds faced Newcastle, Núñez scored twice to give Liverpool the win, and has since become a favourite of both fans and Jürgen Klopp. The Dutchman has been the second most-capped striker on Merseyside as he has played a total of 27 games, scoring nine goals and assisting three, accumulating a total of 12 assists.

The Uruguayan Darwin Núñez has a total of 8 goals and 10 assists in 30 games. While Diogo Jota has a total of 9 goals and 3 assists in 21 games, so while Núñez has the most to contribute to his team, relegating Gakpo and Jota to the bench.

So the Portuguese and the Dutchman should make the most of every opportunity to play, with the Portuguese having the advantage because although he has equal numbers in both goals and assists, Jota has done this in fewer minutes as Cody Gakpo has 1431 minutes played, while Jota has only 1080 minutes of play. So the Dutchman's level could be below what has been shown so far by the other strikers in the team.

Minamino's case is repeated at Anfield and now with Gakpo

The fans support and love Cody Gakpo, despite this, the Dutchman seems to be going back to the case of the Japanese Takumi Minamino, as Gakpo is the top scorer of the team this season for the Reds in the Carabao Cup, and they are in the final and Gakpo is the top scorer of the cup, as he has scored in all four games of the Reds against Leicester, Bournemouth, West Ham, Fulham. He is reminiscent of Minamino in 2022, who was the top scorer in the Reds' cup-winning campaign with a goal from the Japanese. Can Gakpo match the Japanese and win the Carabao Cup with a goal of his own.
