Liverpool lost a very important game in which refereeing was a determining factor in the Reds' defeat, letting slip a great opportunity to go top of the league, as Manchester City lost to Wolverhampton, making the fight for the top of the Premier League more complex.

 

However, the bad news for the Reds did not end at the end of the match, as Curtis Jones was sent off and Cody Gakpo, despite having scored a great goal by settling and turning to kick the ball into the back of the net to tie the game, was injured, which is bad news for Liverpool and for the Netherlands national team, as they have games in two weeks to qualify for the European Championships. So we will have to wait for an assessment of Gakpo's condition to know if he will be available for the next international break and when he can return to play for the Reds, and although the Reds can replace Gakpo with Uruguayan Darwin Nunez, the Netherlands team would be the most affected because Gakpo is in a great moment and the Clockwork Orange need their best players for their upcoming matches.

So Cody's injury affects Liverpool but more affected will be the Clockwork Orange as they would not have a good replacement for their attack, so it will be very important a speedy recovery, as the Dutch striker has been playing at a high level, so it is vital that he can play as soon as possible and thus be able to continue helping both Liverpool and the Netherlands national team.

 

What they are saying in the Netherlands

After the great performance that Cody Gakpo is showing, he is becoming a very important factor for Liverpool and the Clockwork Orange, since in the last international break Gakpo scored two goals that helped his national team in the qualification for the next European Championship, why after his injury this is what they say about Gakpo in the Netherlands according to SPORTNIEUWS.NL and they said "Coach Ronald Koeman will find it hard to sleep, because in 2 weeks the Dutch national team will play 2 very important qualifiers for the European Championship against France and Greece. Frenkie de Jong will be absent due to injury, so an injury to Gakpo could be bad for Koeman". So it is a very sensitive loss for the Netherlands and it will be difficult to find a replacement.
