Liverpool News: Jurgen Klopp has revealed insights into the pecking order dilemma between rising talents Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez.
Despite Gakpo’s recent performance in the Europa League, Klopp still maintained that but strikers have to be on fire.
Remember this season, Gakpo has six goals and one assist, while Nunez has contributed seven times on the scoresheet and has six assists.
As reported by This Is Anfield, Jurgen Klopp said, “No, it is not about that, the boys don’t have to convince me in the games. (Liverpool News)
“This is my squad, this my team, and they play. If somebody is not in extremely awful shape and you think, ‘my God what is going on with him?’ – and that didn’t happen for a long, long time – then we just decide for the game and these kind of things.
“This is the most intense period in world football coming up now, that’s how it is, for all the teams. So they will all play [Liverpool news].
“We have already Diogo not in so that is not helpful, and so we have to share these minutes with different players. They have to perform, not always 90 but 60/70 and full throttle, that’s how it is.

“Darwin is in a top moment and that didn’t change. [He is] super important for us and that he didn’t start [vs. LASK] has nothing to do with anything else.
“Now Cody scored twice, fantastic, does that mean he has to play the next five games in a row? Other players score as well, it’s not about that, and Cody doesn’t expect that.
“They have to score, that’s the job, that’s what they want. But it’s not that I now have sleepless nights and don’t know how to start. It’s not that much [of] a choice, to be honest.”
