Looks good. Someone ring Kojak and tell him.
Potentially but we do have big weaknesses that I’m not sure just re-arranging what players we have can solve.
Having said that, we should be better than what we’ve been doing recently
He looked good in that clip, but he doesn't look like a left forward. He got space in the middle because they were overloading the centre and abandoning the left. Maybe that is what we would do - but I feel like he's much less suited to a wide role than a central role.
He looks like a left forward as much as Cody does, but yeah I would say neither are really left wingers
I'd love if someone rang him and told him to fuck off.
Good god. All our players look like world beaters when they go on international break!
One comedian wrote that if ekitike made that run for Liverpool, he would have made the pass and then watch someone else's shot get blocked and have to sprint back to try to stop the counter....

I wonder who that would be
Gakpo….
Oliver Kay: There are 125 million reasons why Alexander Isak is becoming a big problem for Liverpool
The other player in question, Hugo Ekitike, made a wonderful start to his Liverpool career, scoring five goals in his first eight appearances and bringing the kind of speed, clever movement and goal threat that Isak was meant to represent. It has led to questions about whether Liverpool even needed Isak, given that both players are of a similar technical profile and that, barring a change of system, there seems to have been little intention to play them in tandem.
The matter is complicated, like so much at Liverpool this season, by the dreadful impact of Diogo Jota’s death, with Slot telling reporters in September that the tragedy meant that the club were effectively forced to bring in two No 9s.
There was a logic behind signing Ekitike and Isak, but the pressure to build up the latter’s fitness has complicated Slot’s job further at a time when he has already been dealing with various structural and tactical problems, as well as a crisis of confidence. After such a promising start, Ekitike’s momentum has stalled: he has just one goal in his past nine appearances.
Isak’s selection in the starting line-up against Forest on Saturday looked questionable at the time — given that he had played for just 29 minutes (in Sweden) since picking up a hamstring injury at Eintracht Frankfurt in October. It looks worse with hindsight.
Isak was unlikely to have played the entire 90 minutes, no matter how he performed, but the way things transpired, it looked merciful rather than ruthless when Slot replaced him with Federico Chiesa five minutes later. Ekitike will now hope for the chance to lead the line against PSV in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Feel for him.
Awesome performance and nobody's talking about it - just the mindless shitty defence and the deluded child.
Even now, trying to big him up, im struggling to stay on track - i want to say why the fuck was he benched in the first place? Another thing Slot has fucked up.
But this is how you react to that. The shining light in our transfer business. Love Hugo...

I'm gay for tekkers.
Why the fuck are there about a hundred balls on the pitch?
To compensate for the lack of balls in our own players.
That last stat is really telling. Much of the game, he took way too many touches. When he keeps it simple, he is deadly. Gakpo needs to learn the same lesson.
Looked like he did his hammy. That’s 6 weeks out
He was very greedy today.
