Liverpool Fans Turn on Cody Gakpo Despite Narrow Sunderland Victory 😳🔥
Liverpool secured a hard-fought 1–0 win away at the Stadium of Light, with captain Virgil van Dijk rising highest to nod home a pinpoint corner from Mohamed Salah. The goal proved decisive as the Reds walked away with all three points.
But while the result kept momentum on their side, not every player escaped scrutiny.
Gakpo Under Heavy Fire 👀
Dutch attacker Cody Gakpo once again found himself at the center of criticism from supporters. Starting on the left wing, the 26-year-old struggled to impose himself on the game and missed a key opportunity during a dangerous counter-attack, hesitating at a crucial moment when a decisive action was needed.
For many fans, that moment summed up his recent form.
Gakpo has now managed just one goal in his last nine appearances — a return that has left sections of the fanbase frustrated, especially given the expectations placed on him this season.
Fans React Online 💬
Supporters did not hold back on social media after the final whistle. Some questioned the club’s attacking decisions, while others criticized what they see as predictable play in the final third.
One frustrated fan suggested Liverpool made a mistake in reshaping their attacking options, while another pointed out that Gakpo seems too reliant on cutting inside to shoot, often struggling when defenders anticipate the move.
The criticism was harsh — and emotional.
Pressure Mounting at Anfield? 🔴
Although Liverpool claimed the win, individual performances are increasingly coming under the microscope as the season intensifies. With competition for attacking spots growing and expectations sky-high, every display matters.
The question now is simple:
Can Gakpo silence the critics and rediscover his sharpness in front of goal — or will the pressure continue to build?
The next few games could be crucial.
Stay tuned. 👀🔥
