Darwin Nunez

The Mailbox reacts to Jurgen Klopp spending again on Cody Gakpo, while his last major signing provokes contrasting opinions. Also: Lampard out.

I really do and I thought he could do a job but the garbage that he has to work with and the owners and board he has to work with is a poisoned chalice. And that is the crunch. And that is why they won’t win a thing. Make no mistake, some of our problems are of his own doing (in game management, sticking with players for too long, etc…) but the finger needs to be pointed squarely and directly at Farhad Moshiri and Bill Kenwright along with our board. Unless we buy a new CB and 14 wing backs to replace the 14 shit wing backs we already have, we can kiss goodbye to top 4. We lost Haaland, the best at the time and now we have lost Gakpo, the best at the moment. His pace is electric and the game will slow down for him as he gets experience and he’ll bag the goals and assists. Are you telling me that he’d have to snap his leg for it to be a red? Liverpool have a big active, online fanbase and if you can troll us, the checks practically write themselves. I am absolutely delighted with him and how he’s taken the step up from Portuguese football to the Premier League. He was available for £25 million in the Summer, yet United decided to pay £85 million for Anthony, albeit Gakpo is better than Anthony and has way better statistics and results than Anthony. So the next time you see a JK, don’t feed him after midnight, don’t pour water on him and don’t show him sunlight.
