Gakpo again played as a striker I don't know why. He is a left winger normally as you know. While you have Firmino and Nunez for the centre-forward position why would you choose Gakpo instead?
Gakpo could have played in Jota's place and we could have seen one of the duo I mentioned on the front. This way Liverpool could have been more effective about benefiting from their goal chances. They had only a couple of shots on target and none of them ended up with a goal. At least they didn't lose of course. But they should have been able to win this while there was a really bad performing Crystal Palace against them.
