Liverpool’s latest Premier League match against Leeds United has reignited a recurring tactical debate among supporters: the dysfunctional link-up between left-winger Cody Gakpo and overlapping left-back Milos Kerkez.
Fans took to social media during the first half of the game to voice their growing frustration, claiming the Dutchman’s predictable play is stifling the team’s attack down the left flank.

@mayaxordonez: “Gakpo ignoring the Kerkez overlap again”
@Lewyssphillips: “If Gakpo ever does an interview again someone got to ask him what’s his beef with Kerkez! Just refuses to pass him the ball”
@sociablemrjids: “Gakpo Just doesn’t use Kerkez and it’s beyond a joke now. What does the guy have to do to get the ball from him?”
