Cody Gakpo has started the 2026/27 season in impressive form, but his reaction to the personal tragedy and tribulation he has endured over the last few months is what deserves praise. Then, he endured the most criticism of his career so far for the way he played last season.

“I’m told he is keen to get on with things at Liverpool, to do his best whenever he’s called on, and to remain as a key part of Andoni Iraola’s plans for this season. “He’s still under a long-term contract at Anfield until 2030, so there are no concerns over him that he might be unsettled or anything like that.” Gakpo is exactly what we all hope for in a Liverpool player It’s true that Gakpo wasn’t very good last season.

I’m so glad Gakpo is rewriting his story at Liverpool, because he did not deserve to leave the club with the overarching belief being that he was a bad player. He has one goal and three assists in three games, and I really think he deserves the praise he is now getting.
