Liverpool s frontcourt competition is behind! It s not parallel-made Wiltz but Garkepo

Liverpool beat Everton 2-1 in the Merseyside derby, continuing their perfect start in the Premier League. In the first half, Liverpool completely suppressed their city opponents and quickly took a 2-0 lead with the wonderful goals of Heraffenberg and Ekitic. But Liverpool's defense after leading the way this season is not convincing, and Gaye's powerful shot made home fans nervous. Fortunately, Liverpool finally won 2-1 at home and started with a 5-game winning streak.

Hrafenberg and Ekitic were the highlights of the game. Especially Ekitic, who started so strongly at Liverpool, has contributed 3 goals and 1 assist to the Reds in the first five rounds of the league, and has started very efficiently. Nowadays, Liverpool fans are concerned about how Slot deals with the coexistence of Isaac and Ekitic in the future? It has to be admitted that Liverpool has a strong frontcourt configuration today. There are Ekitic and Isaac at the 9th position, Gakepo and Ngumoha on the left winger, and Salah and Chiesa Jr. (left or right).

Liverpool's frontcourt configuration looks very luxurious, but Slott is always looking for the best offensive combination. The league has only played 5 rounds, and some players have begun to fall behind in the frontcourt, and he is the left winger Gakebo. In the game against Everton tonight, Garkepo performed mediocrely and was replaced early. Garkepo's performance at the beginning of the season was impressive, starting two consecutive Premier League games, contributing 1 goal and 2 assists. But since then, his offensive threat has weakened, and he has played 0 goals and 0 assists in four consecutive games. After the game, Gakebo only scored 6 points. The Liverpool Echo believes that his performance is average, but also shows his resilience on the defensive end. According to Sofascore data, he won 4 confrontations, completed 3 clearances and sent 2 key passes in 60 minutes of his appearance. Garkepo's sluggish performance on the offensive end has made Liverpool fans quite dissatisfied. Some fans have already proposed to let Ekitikrabian replace Gakepo's starting position. In this way, Slot can solve the problem of coexistence between Ekitic and Isaac.

Ekitic has a wide range of coverage throughout the game. Former goalkeeper Ben Foster commented in the game: "He looks like Fernando Torres in his prime." He showed great threats both inside and outside the penalty area, even at the wing position. Considering that Garkepo is already a little overwhelmed in starting, it may be time for Slot to make a change, and he has shown an unprecedented rotation attitude this season. In the next game, Liverpool can try to have Ekitikla and partner with Isaac and Salah in the frontcourt Trident.
