Who will be the starting forward in the Europa League debut? Nunez or Gakpo?

Coach Jürgen Klopp knows that his debut in the UEFA Europa League must necessarily be accompanied by changes in the team that allow him to maintain that rest in those starters who saw activity against the Wolves and on the FIFA date, being for the German strategist in some positions It is very easy to know who will be the replacements and starters in the duel against LASK Linz, with only one big dilemma at the moment to know which player is the one who will start as the forward of the group for this Thursday.

Following the logic of giving rest to all those players who saw great international activity and in this Premier League weekend, the player who would be sent to the substitute bench should be the Dutchman Cody Gakpo, with Darwin Nunez having free rein to be able to shine and try to score his first goal in UEL with the Reds.

The level shown by the Uruguayan attacker is not that it is bad and much less inferior to that of Gakpo, but it is true that the player from the Netherlands has been in a great scoring moment by adding 3 games sending the ball into the back of the nets, This fact is striking for Klopp since he could include Cody at the start of the Europa League campaign to try to achieve that victory as early as possible that places them as leaders of their group.

<strong>The Reds need more than one scoring leader</strong>

It is true that Nunez and Gakpo are players capable of responsibly taking on the position of forward of the team in any circumstance, but even though their skills are excellent and promising, neither of them has developed that gift of being a leader, this being a scenario Europa League the ideal for Klopp to train his next star.
