Cody Gakpo has provided more questions than answers since joining Liverpool last month, truth be told.
Why did the Reds opt to spend £37m on him rather than move for a much-needed midfielder? Why have they brought in yet another left-sided forward, when they already possess Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, and Darwin Nunez? And why, having spent an initial £64m on the Uruguayan, a traditional number nine, last summer, are they now playing him out wide with the Dutch winger instead utilised as their central attacker?
Each decision prompted head-scratching, with Liverpool’s form alongside the forward’s own limited impact during his opening weeks on Merseyside resulting in further raised eyebrows. Reds legend Jamie Carragher would even admit he was baffled at his former club’s signing of the Dutchman last week.
