The frustration of not being able to be effective in front of goal and not being able to make a difference in every game are not the only similarities that striker Cody Gakpo has with his teammate Darwin Nunez, but now, the Dutchman also shares with the Uruguayan all that hate from thousands of fans who analyze, compare and criticize even the smallest detail in his actions in every game.

While Núñez, with the passing of the games, earned endless comparisons with the English striker, Andy Carroll, now Gakpo is living a similar episode by being put as the clear reflection of the former Reds player, David N'Gog, a French-born killer who had an unfortunate time at Anfield during the years from 2008 to 2011, collaborating in 94 games only a total of 19 goals and six assists.

This type of comparisons from the fans arise from the bad games that Gakpo has had with Liverpool since his arrival at the institution at the end of December 2022, not achieving the Dutchman in less than two months to feel completely comfortable with his new team and with the style of play so different that manages the Premier League, reflecting this in his poor numbers that have not even allowed him to debut as Reds and celebrate a goal.

Comparisons could turn into mockery for Gakpo

While comparisons between players still have a certain criteria that can be checked, in situations like Liverpool and Cody Gakpo's this could go even further, as with Darwin Nunez, memes and videos mocking the Dutchman could soon appear, with the striker's only escape route being determination in front of goal and being a player in the final results of a team that has been lost in limbo.
