Even though Liverpool has had a strong start to the year, manager Jurgen Klopp has been told he must alter his starting lineup when the Reds resume Premier League play. Darwin Nunez will replace Cody Gakpo when Liverpool resumes play in the Premier League, according to instructions given to Jurgen Klopp. Compared to Gakpo’s five top-flight starts this season, Nunez has started three fewer games, but has been more effective for the Reds in front of goal.
The team’s all-time leading acquisition has two assists and three Premier League goals. Against LASK in the Europa League opener, he also contributed a goal and an assist. Gakpo, meanwhile, has only scored three goals across all competitions, and Danny Murphy, a former Liverpool star, is now urging Klopp to make a change up front. What I see is fantastic. Since any young striker trying to establish his or her reputation at a football club needs a good run of games, I’ve been advocating for it for quite some time, Murphy told talkSPORT. He must be extremely difficult to play against because he will score goals. I believe he would score 20 goals for you if he played for you all the time. I believe he appears capable. He appears to be swift, adept at flying, and enormous. “Look, Liverpool has a lot of options for attacking positions. He down the middle, Diaz and Salah right and left is how I would be playing if I were playing the best team. Gakpo not included. Additionally, I enjoy Gakpo. When Uruguay plays Colombia and Brazil in their upcoming World Cup 2026 qualifying matches, Nunez will be looking to impress Klopp.
Liverpool resumes play in the Premier League just a few days after the match against the Selecao. A mouthwatering Merseyside derby against Everton awaits Klopp’s team in their first game back. Gakpo suffered an injury in the loss to Tottenham, but he is anticipated to play against the Toffees, so Klopp will have to choose who starts up front.
