What Gakpo is doing right now is being 1 extra number on the pitch , the only benefit being that the likes of Nunez get lesser time on the pitch , and hence can rehabilitate better.

Someone needs to invent a cure to get Jota back fit ASAP.

I always wonder why is he not training to his strengths.

He is bloody tall for a forward which will be very easy for him to win headers and hold up the ball should he bulk up his upper body like how Mo Salah does it. If he has the leap strength of CR7, that will make him a very scary preposition during offensive set-pieces.

But he doesnā€™t do that and that makes him very easy to get knocked off the ball.

Zero chance I believe that

Heā€™s a lean guy. I donā€™t see too much strength in him. Seems to be too easily brushed off the ball.

Also the decision making. I get heā€™s still young and he can improve. But at 37m or whatever it is weā€™ve paid , thatā€™s something he needs to do quickly.

Nothingā€™s stopping you from having a drink once the kids go to sleep.

Iā€™m not going to post pics of other peopleā€™s children here to prove it.

In Gakpoā€™s defense , he and Diaz have been playing a lot of football of late and could well use a break.

Player burnout is a thing. With Diaz , you know that heā€™s capable of producing something special anytime. Iā€™m not seeing that in Gakpo.

And I thought the Darwin goal was mind blowing

Which means for him to play as a forward in the English game, he needs to either be very clever in his decision-making or be able to hold the ball up for his colleagues.

At this time , any forward player needs to do both. And be clinical while shooting too.
