Liverpool secured a crucial 2-1 victory against Brighton on Sunday, courtesy of goals from Luis Diaz and Mo Salah, which came after Danny Welbeck’s early opener. However, despite the win, the atmosphere at Anfield was far from jubilant, with fans expressing discontent towards one of their own players.
An intense ambiance engulfed Anfield as Jurgen Klopp’s team battled to overturn Brighton’s early lead. The frustration among supporters escalated when Cody Gakpo was substituted in during the final minute of regular time.
Gakpo’s performance failed to meet expectations, leading to disappointment among fans, who took to social media to criticize his perceived lack of dedication and contribution to securing the victory. Many fans questioned Gakpo’s commitment to the team, particularly during the crucial moments of the match.
Some fans raised doubts about Gakpo’s future with the club, suggesting that his performance did not align with Liverpool’s standards. Others lamented his apparent lackadaisical approach, comparing it to a casual stroll rather than the intensity required in professional football.
In an attempt to convey their frustration, some fans resorted to humor, with one fan jokingly suggesting that former Liverpool striker Fernando Torres, who recently participated in a charity match at Anfield, could have provided more on the field than Gakpo.
Overall, despite the victory, Liverpool supporters were disappointed by Gakpo’s lackluster performance and voiced concerns about his future with the club.
