Liverpool Duo Gakpo and Jones Add Fuel to Everton Rivalry by Reacting to Jordan Pickford Clip with Laughter
Liverpool players Cody Gakpo and Curtis Jones have sparked criticism from Everton supporters by mocking Jordan Pickford’s involvement in an old goal. The incident occurred as the duo was ranking Liverpool’s best cup goals, including Virgil van Dijk’s debut goal against Everton. In a segment on ITV, Gakpo and Jones laughed at Pickford’s failure to stop Van Dijk from scoring.
They expressed disbelief at Pickford’s inability to beat Van Dijk to the ball, with Gakpo commenting, “What is the goalie doing, mate?” and Jones questioning, “What’s he doing? What is he doing?” Gakpo also remarked that the goal was good, while Jones pointed out the expectation for a player of Pickford’s size to win headers.
The exchange highlights the camaraderie within Liverpool this season. As the team sits at the top of the Premier League, progresses to the Carabao Cup final, and aims to reach the FA Cup fifth round, manager Jurgen Klopp revealed a request from Norwich manager David Wagner for a weakened team in their upcoming match. Klopp acknowledged Wagner’s difficult job with Norwich.
Overall, the Liverpool players’ behavior has drawn criticism from Everton fans, while also reflecting the team’s strong performance and camaraderie under Klopp’s leadership.
