Gerrard urges Liverpool to drop Gakpo after Wolves loss

Steven Gerrard has urged Arne Slot to drop Cody Gakpo after Liverpool's disappointing 2-1 defeat to Wolves.

Liverpool were "desperate" for 65 minutes against Wolves, according to Gerrard, who criticized their tempo and quality. He specifically highlighted the lack of impact from Gakpo, arguing that teenager Rio Ngumoha offers more urgency in a short cameo. Gerrard believes the Dutch forward must be replaced in the starting lineup to help the Reds regain momentum.
