Andoni Iraola plans for Cody Gakpo after Bradley Barcola arrival at Liverpool

Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola faces tactical decisions following the signing of Bradley Barcola. While both Barcola and Cody Gakpo prefer playing on the left wing, club insiders indicate Gakpo will remain a central part of the squad rotation. Gakpo has already demonstrated flexibility this season by appearing as a number nine and recently operating on the right flank to assist goals for Alexander Isak. Reports suggest the Dutchman will likely feature on the right to accommodate Barcola on the left side of the attack. With additional wide options like Victor Munoz and Rio Ngumoha available, the coaching staff maintains an adaptable approach to the front line. Federico Chiesa may face increased competition for playing time as the club prepares for a congested autumn fixture schedule.
