Gerrard Urges Liverpool to Drop Gakpo

Speaking to TNT Sports, Gerrard described the opening period as "woefully short of the standard required" and criticized Gakpo for failing to impose himself on the game.

He believes the teenager, Rio Ngumoha, offers greater urgency than the Dutch forward. "He has to start Ngumoha now," Gerrard stated. "He has to start him because he’s coming on and he’s doing more... than Gakpo’s doing in 65, 70 minutes."
