This has been going on for a while now and has been at the back of my mind as something Klopp and his coaching staff needed to address, although our winning ways seemed to put the issue to the back of the que, but after Sundays game it seems to of come to the forefront of everyone's attention again. I remember the Deep Dive you did with Chris in November last year entitled 'The Curious Case of Cody Gakpo' off the back of some questionable performances from him at the beginning of the season and we still find ourselves talking about the same stuff which is disappointing but also alarming, we all hoped he would of stepped up his game, found his place in the squad and kicked on but he seems stuck in this questionable run of form. The most annoying part of it all is not knowing what the cause of it is. He has such high potential as a Liverpool player. I don't believe there is one simple answer to this mystery but rather a mixture of everything that you've mentioned in the article. I honestly think the best option is to give him a solid run of 5+ games in his preferred position whenever possible and see if this improves his confidence and form.

It's good to get a 'problem' debated using 'data' - the only thing missing from the piece is an analysis of potential solutions.
