Totally understand the comments about Gakpo on here tonight!
Just proves he as much as anyone was a victim of Slots turgid football philosophy!

20 Jun 2026 23:12:39
Slot's tactics didn't make Gakpo ignore Kerkez every time and constantly smash shots against defenders.

In the same way one good game at a WC should not make you sign someone, it also shouldn't make you keep them.



Gakpo was awful last season and hopefully a good WC will boost his transfer fee a little bit. Keep in mind he was playing against Championship level players down the Sweden right side!

F*** me, Slot is gone. Move on, bro.

There are multitudes of reasons why a player does well for their national team versus club or vice versa.

21 Jun 2026 03:59:08
I'm not sure I agree with that, MK. Both Rio and Gakpo played the same way last season, always choosing to cut inside instead of playing in the overlapping fullback. That feels to me that it was under Slot's instructions, unless they both have very similar playing styles.



We'll never know, though, whether it was a choice or if it was under instructions. But, personally for me, I don't think Gakpo is that poor a player. Him, and the rest of the squad, starts on a clean slate this coming season for me.

Schlotterbeck giving his best audition for Liverpool tonight by getting injured, which is one key attitude to being a new Liverpool signing.

21 Jun 2026 08:55:24
🤣🤣🤣 Exactly what I thought.

20 Jun 2026 20:13:10
Is it just me, or are all the Liverpool players playing out of their skin at the World Cup? You know, call the ones that were absolutely awful all season. I am so glad we ditched Slot and so excited about next season.

Thanks to Ruben Peeters' periodisation programme, our team is now fully match fit and rearing to go.

20 Jun 2026 21:34:07
Kimmich can't handle Diomande.

20 Jun 2026 22:32:58
Isak was pants.

21 Jun 2026 00:05:29
He assisted the Sweden goal.

20 Jun 2026 19:33:09
Can we sign this Gakpo to replace the one we've got please?

20 Jun 2026 19:58:44
Haha, we're all thinking the same by the looks of it.

20 Jun 2026 20:06:17
Every time the ball is played direct and quick, amazing how good he looks.

Slotball was killing these players.

I very much suspect others that receive a lot of criticism to be far better this season also. Namely, dare I say it, Frimpong.

20 Jun 2026 20:34:33
Mate, Slot ball was the worst thing ever. People were being harsh on Gakpo, but it was clear the players were being advised to play the dull, drab borefest we were seeing every week. I am so so so glad he is gone.

Our players were great before him and will be great again. Hopefully, MacAllister gets good again, but I don't really care about him too much cos I know he wants to leave.

20 Jun 2026 19:27:44
Who's that Gakpo fella? He looks half decent!

And the Gravyberg not bad.

Just sayn!

20 Jun 2026 22:22:30
I think that Virgin's Vanny's Dyke seems tasty too, especially for his age. Could be worth a punt!

20 Jun 2026 19:18:06
That Gakpo is a right player, Liverpool should sign him up to play with his twin brother.

20 Jun 2026 19:17:51
That Gakpo looks like a very good player for the Netherlands, would like to see him in a LFC shirt. 😊

20 Jun 2026 21:08:19
He looks quite a good prospect, unlike his twin brother who played in red last term. Can we have this one instead?

20 Jun 2026 18:19:57
Brobbey acting like an old school striker/ poacher for the Dutch, drive and determination to get onto crosses, it's a joy to watch him.

20 Jun 2026 19:25:44
Can he play a false 9?

Brobbey could be our new Bobby.

20 Jun 2026 19:32:35
No lad. Nothing false about him. He's a beast. Love players like him.

Sunderland slapping 100m, not quite Drogba, but a good player.

Andrei Ratiu link seems plausible in my opinion.

Based in Spain for 3 years. Allegedly earmarked by our new Spanish Coach.

Relatively cheap release clause.

Experienced option compared to Bradley and Frimpong.

20 Jun 2026 19:56:48
And as he's linked to us, he's also injured.
