Liverpool supporters laud the forward’s “best game” as Cody Gakpo demonstrates where he belongs.

Cody Gakpo enjoyed himself throughout the match against Tottenham, contributing a goal and an assist in a much better effort that captured the interest of the Liverpool supporters.

The 24-year-old’s season has been erratic, and Klopp has acknowledged several times that by starting the Dutchman in midfield, he contributed to the player’s loss of confidence.

But against Tottenham, we witnessed a self-assured player who delighted in trading places with Luis Diaz, spending equal amounts of time in the midfield and on the left side.

He was especially good at wide left for PSV, and he scored Mohamed Salah’s first goal against Spurs with a perfectly placed ball there.

The second half saw Gakpo score a headed goal of his own after a much-improved performance for the No. 18, which was well-received by Liverpool supporters.

Gakpo was playing that pass every week for PSV, but hasn’t been able to for Liverpool because he’s never used on the left.

Can we talk about Cody Gakpo assist? World class lofted pass matched with Salah’s run. Phenomenal player, technically gifted.

What a cross from Gakpo. I really want LFC to find a way to get him into these crossing situations (and having someone in the box) because he’s quite good at it.

Gakpo such a clever player. Good movement. Better on ball than Nuñez and just helps the overall flow of the game 🔥🔥🔥

Gakpo at left wing is so good btw, I genuinely can't fathom how our management saw a player who's main strength at PSV was crossing/playmaking and thought we should try and make him a striker…#LIVTOT

Gakpo goal and assist when he's not being forced into the role of utility man is it? pic.twitter.com/dwvCsmi6Fz

Cody Gakpo has been absolutely brilliant for the last 2-3 weeks. One of the few whos maintained a level of performance while our season broke down around him. Slot will be excited to work with him

Cody Gakpo simply sensational today. So many gave up on him but there is a fantastic player there

Gakpo is so much happier on that left side. He's so much better when he finds himself in those spaces with the ball passed to feet.

Gakpo's best game since the Utd 7-0 win last year. Has himself a goal + an assist now, making a real difference. There's been no pressure on the game, but he's been outstanding today. https://t.co/DONKrcTrMR

Gakpo has been regarded as the fifth-choice forward since joining Anfield, but it will be interesting to watch how and if things alter under Jurgen Klopp.

However, Gakpo demonstrated his abilities on Sunday, and this showing should help him in the remaining two games before the Euros and a crucial preseason.
