Gerrard urges Liverpool to drop Gakpo after Wolves loss

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has called for Cody Gakpo to be dropped by manager Arne Slot after the club's 2-1 defeat to Wolves.

Liverpool suffered a 2-1 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday night, a result Steven Gerrard described as a performance lacking quality and urgency. The former captain was particularly scathing about Cody Gakpo's display on the left flank.

Gerrard believes the time has come for Arne Slot to make a change, arguing that Gakpo has failed to impose himself compared to the impact of substitute Rio Ngumoha. He urged the manager to start Ngumoha, stating that the teenager offers more in a short cameo than Gakpo does in a lengthy run-out.
