Remember when the scousers were bragging about how they signed him ahead of us?? Yeah, that’s HILARIOUS!
Problem: Liverpool have a better LW than Gakpo on the teamFor all Klopp's demi-God amazingness, jesus incarnated brilliance I really hope Slot unlike his Kloppness understands Gakpo is not a striker. His entire game is only suited to playing on the wing. Please keep him there so he can develop and become even better for Oranje.
Thanks.
He mostly doesn't start anyway, but if you bring him on, bring him on there or, if you don't need him there, just sell him.Problem: Liverpool have a better LW than Gakpo on the team

Fine, sell him to Feyenoord, we'll do it. Straight swap for Jahanbakhsh.Please ruin his development by using him as badly as possible throughout his Liverpool career, forcing him to switch clubs if he wants to resurrect his Dutch career.
Thanks.
Same! Gush I wish Rashford can pick himself back to that level.The cutting in at pace and straight shoots are difficult for any defence to deal with. Combine that with good decision making and we may finally get to see Rashford fulfil his promise. I highly doubt it's going to happen though.Yesterday reminded me of peak Rashford.

Oh the better one is Diaz? Not convinced it's impossible for Gakpo to eclipse him.Diaz? He's not looked at his best at all since his big injuries. There'll be competition for that spot sure but I don't think Diaz should be clear.
I feel like in international football where most teams are tactically poor and not gelled, the players that shine individually are players that know their weapons really well and have confidence in executing them.
Based on this EC and the last WC you'd think that Gakpo is world class, but he's far from it.
I'm loving it though.
Teams in league football are much better organised, it is much more difficult to do the same thing over and over again unless you are actually world class. Which Gakpo isn't. Good player.Shouldn't that mean he's actually good and Liverpool are not good or just not using him properly.
Not necessarily. Gakpo isn’t fast enough to get away from PL defenders, and just like Memphis, his shots aren’t all that against PL goalies. So his individual skills are diminished; subsequently he has to play a different game and adapt or be average at best using his strongest skillset.Shouldn't that mean he's actually good and Liverpool are not good or just not using him properly.
Another good game.
Another good game.
thought he was utterly drab myself. What was good about it?
Just 22 passes, created nothing, didn’t score. Was barely in the game. Very interesting to hear what impressed you.
Forced the goal
Been the best attacking player at the Euros so far. Has tougher teams to go up against and prove he can be this good in the knockout rounds. Next up are Turkey and their keeper has impressive with his kicking and some saves against Austria.
Better than Nico Williams? Not sure about that.
Undoubtedly the man for the Netherlands. There's no way they get this far without him. Memphis looks blunt, they're getting nothing from whoever is wide right and Weghorst has his uses but...
I have to admit, he's surprised me. I still don't think he's that talented but he's making the most of what he's got and his carrying his country right now. Discount Mane.
fecking hell give this man a wwe contractThe end.
Williams has 1 goal and 1 assist in 4 games. He's played well no doubt but less end product. Spain have averaged 20 shots per game which is the most of all the teams playing so you would expect more.
Gakpo has 3 goals and 1 assist in 5 games, plus his efforts to get to the ball caused a defender to put the ball in his own net last night. Didnt score, but caused the goal. So more than 3 + 1 in 5 really.
He was crap last night, but Gakpo is one of the most reliable attackers for the Dutch NT for years now. He has amazing end product. Memphis has always been hit and miss for us, which will likely be more and more miss the coming years as we are seeing already. He should be replaced.
