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.
There is nothing you will say that will improve the performance of Liverpool. Once a club starts performing poor it will be so difficult for them to get anything right. This is because the coach Will be under pressure and will forget some elementary things.
Even in the training ground he will forget many things and behave like an armature coach. It's normal
