Ed001 - where do you see Gakpo's role in first team going forward? Front 3 seems pretty set (salah, nunez, diaz) - would be keen to hear where you think Gakpo will fit in.
Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - injuries, loss of form and rotation will see him get plenty of time up front and in midfield.}

Have seen reports that Klopp sees Cody Gakpo as the ideal Bobby Firmino replacement.

That supposed set front three have only actually started 3 of the 18 games this season.
It looks like Salah is the set starter in the forwards and Klopp likes to utilise and rotate the other 4 depending on opposition and schedule.

I’d start gakpo against city as his ball retention is top drawer I just can’t think at who’s expense as I’d start salah and Nunez also but I think we are that blessed that seeing any of the front 5 I’m happy with.

I think against city it will b jota, gakpo, salah as front 3 due to southamericans playing Tuesday nite/ Wed morning and game kicking off at 12.30 sat.

Be happy with that digger
Bring Diaz and Nunez on around 55/ 60 mark depending on how the game is and go for it.

Yep that's the beauty of having 5 top class forwards, can take on 2 when game (hopefully) starts to open up a bit. Think if we going to have rattle at title this season we will have to beat them this weekend. Try and get ahead of them, they almost impossible to catch if they get ahead into 2nd half of season.

Is Endo playing in Asia as well would that rule him out of starting in the same sense as the South Americans.
Next two games are quite big with 2 opposition at totally separate scales.
I’d say City is a must not lose fixture whilst LASK is a must win.

Saw Gakpo play yesterday vs Ireland and he is absolutely amazing as a footballer esp. when operating from deep behind the striker Weighorst. He has so much ability on the ball and works so hard off the ball that he can play any attacking position almost seemlessly, he is that technically sound. As to where would be his best position? I have no idea. We will have to see what the coaches decide.
