But back-to-back impressive performances for his country prove yet again just how good a player he really is, although supporters are confused as to why he cannot perform like that in a Liverpool shirt.One fan wrote on X: “Why can’t he do this for us???

He won’t miss from there. He needs to find space in that area in prem too!— Living Liverpool (@Livin_Liverpool) October 12, 2025 View Tweet Cody Gakpo is too wide for LiverpoolIt may sound silly as wingers’ jobs are mostly to hug the touchline and keep the width, but this is not what Gakpo is good at.At Liverpool, fans know all too well, as shown by their frustration, Gakpo is best when he cuts inside and can curl a shot or cross towards the goal.However, when he plays for the Reds, he is so far wide that he cannot cause too much danger from out there.As for the Netherlands, he is always close to the box, meaning he can produce his trademark shot at goal to good effect or be able to link up better with those around him.How Arne Slot solves this is a whole other kettle of fish, though, as Liverpool do not want to become too narrow, but for Gakpo’s form, it might be best if there was a slight adjustment to his positioning.
