Arne Slot has questioned Liverpool’s threat out wide after losing to Wolverhampton Wanderers this week.Despite Rob Edwards’ side being widely expected to be relegated this term, the Reds suffered a 2-1 defeat in what was a poor performance.As has become common this season, Cody Gakpo’s form was questioned by the likes of Steven Gerrard, and even Slot knows his wingers are a problem. Whose performance concerned you the most against Wolves?
