Cody Gakpo is best friends with Curtis Jones and Ibrahima Konate at LiverpoolAlthough plenty of changes took place at Anfield this summer, the core of the team stayed the same.

Although fans may have thought that more changes needed to be made in the summer, the fact that most of Arne Slot’s first-team squad has stayed the same means that relationships between the players have been able to develop further.

Of course, players can’t be specifically blamed for the Reds’ poor performances, but unless some, such as Gakpo, don’t manage to get back to their best soon, things could go from bad to worse at Anfield in an instant.
