Liverpool FC update: Klopp advises ‘hungry’ player criticized by Carragher to play against Atalanta.
The disappointing result at Old Trafford has left spirits in need of lifting at Anfield. Despite their success in the Carabao Cup, Liverpool see the Europa League as an important opportunity to secure more silverware in Klopp’s final season as manager. Considering the upcoming domestic match against Crystal Palace, Klopp may opt to rotate the squad, and one player who might benefit from this is Cody Gakpo. Gakpo, who impressed in the recent 2-2 draw with Manchester United, has been performing well and may be in line for a starting position.
However, Gakpo’s performance in the recent FA Cup defeat drew criticism, with some suggesting he was not performing at his best. Nonetheless, Gakpo has shined in cup competitions due to strong competition for playing time in the Premier League. His record of goal contributions and his versatility have made him a valuable option for Klopp since his move from PSV Eindhoven. Liverpool are considered favorites in the Europa League, and their upcoming opponents Atalanta have been experiencing consecutive defeats in their league matches.
