Gerrard urges Liverpool to drop Gakpo after Wolves loss

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has urged Arne Slot to drop Cody Gakpo after the club’s 2-1 defeat to Wolves.

Speaking on TNT Sports, Gerrard described the first 65 minutes as "desperate" and lacking quality. He specifically criticized Gakpo’s performance, arguing that teenager Rio Ngumoha offered more impact off the bench than the Dutchman did in 70 minutes.

Gerrard believes Ngumoha should replace Gakpo in the starting XI as Liverpool push for Champions League qualification.
