Gakpo feud begins, ex-player attacks him, fans defend him

This year 2023 has not started in the best way for the Red's, who continue to struggle to rebound in the Premier League table and thus be able to sneak into the top places, for it, you need to add as many points as possible, and also, win the tournaments that The Pool is playing, such as the UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup, where they are the current champions.

That is why, faced with so much media pressure, Liverpool recently made a coup with the signing of the jewel of the Netherlands Cody Gakpo, who arrived at Anfield for a figure close to 50 million, being the subject of debate for many fans and specialists, who have pointed out that Gakpo still fails to demonstrate the talent and class he had at PSV in the Eredivisie.

During the game between Manchester City and Arsenal in the FA Cup, former Liverpool player José Enrique criticised the board for not signing Leandro Trossard and choosing Gakpo, as he believes that the Belgian player has a better reputation than the Dutchman, who cost an insane amount for his premature age. Trossard, 28, settled in well with Arteta, as he already knew the Premier League with Brighton.

"You can call me whatever you want but I'm watching arsenal and something that I say it before I even say it more now. That we sign gakpo instead of trossard for half of the price I don't understand. Really like trossard," Enrique, a left-back who spent time at Anfield from 2011 to 2016 and is now a sports analyst with more than 300,000 followers on his official account, said on his Twitter account.

<strong>Gakpo is criticized for his poor performance at the Reds</strong>

Gakpo has played more than 300 minutes with the Reds between FA Cup and Premier League, and without a goal so far, despite having had clear plays in front of goal, as it was in the last game against Chelsea FC, hence the criticism of Jose Enrique and other fans, who demand that the striker wakes up and start scoring in the difficult situation that Liverpool is going through, where they can afford to keep dropping points along the way.
