Cody Gakpo in 32 minutes against Crystal Palace:

- Three key passes
- Two big chances created
- 3/3 dribbles successful
- 4/5 duels won
-5/7 crosses completed

Crazy that he was benched after his Atalanta performance. Showed why he should start when he came on.

Given it's where he's been playing so well for Leipzig, it's a bit crazy that Xavi hasn't been given a proper chance on the left for the national team.

Hopefully he'll get one in one of the next friendlies.

By creating a goal today, Xavi Simons became just the third Dutchman in the last decade, after Arjen Robben and Memphis Depay, to get 10+ assists in a single season in one of Europe's top five leagues.

The boy's a superstar.

Happens with Gakpo and now with Van de Ven - a good run of form and they're future Ballon d'Or winners, one bad game and they're not good enough for the Prem ๐Ÿ˜…

Cody Gakpo vs Atalanta tonight:

- Five key passes

- 2/3 crosses successful
- 11/16 duels won

Really hope Liverpool's next manager is someone who plays him in his actual position regularly.

Yet another injury for Memphis. We can't remember the last time he stayed fully fit for a good few months.

Even if he's fit for the Euros, we're not comfortable relying on him staying fit for a month in which he'll need to play every few days.

Not a good situation.

Agreed. Although if it's a back five we'd prefer Van de Ven than Ake at LWB given his speed, and the three of them as the three CBs isn't a great balance given two would have to play out of position and the leader wouldn't be in the middle.

Van de Ven staked his claim yet again for a starting spot in Oranje witha great performance today. He's looking like one of the best defenders in the world right now.

Him and Van Dijk at CB with Ake and Dumfries out wide would be so strong.
