Kijkers unaniem over Premier League-debuut Cody Gakpo

Cody Gakpo maakte vandaag zijn debuut in de Premier League, namens Liverpool FC tegen Brighton & Hove Albion. Het werd allesbehalve een droomdebuut. En dat is ook niet zo gek, want Brighton was simpelweg heer en meester in het duel.

Daardoor kwam spits Gakpo (bij afwezigheid van de geblesseerde Darwin Nunez) eigenlijk totaal niet aan bod. Datzelfde gold ook voor bijvoorbeeld compagnon Mohamed Salah. Op Twitter is men unaniem: het was een onzichtbaar optreden van Gakpo, voor het eerst in de beste competitie van de wereld.

Een greep uit de reacties:

When will Gakpo make his Liverpool debut ?. Bought a player and haven't used him. That's sad. #BHALIV

#BHALIV #LiverpoolFC Klopp would have never thought they would miss MANE so much…Darwin Diaz Gakpo can't replace that legend

Truth be told…. We don’t really need Gakpo! There are more pressing needs in the midfield than the attack. FSG is just the problem. #BHALIV

Why have we signed Gakpo? What exactly does he offer?

Isn't even reactionary because I never wanted him to join in the first place. Don't see how this works out at all.#LFC #Gakpo

I would've rather had a front three of Ox – Carvalho – Salah today if it had meant the Gakpo money went to a competent midfielder. #LFC
