'It was just the turning point': Klopp reveals how he helped Gakpo come out of slump

In a ‘The Reds Roundtable’ video on Liverpool's YouTube channel, Jurgen Klopp detailed how he helped Cody Gakpo find his best form at the end of the season.

"It’s interesting, so Cody is now obviously, in this moment in time while we are sitting here, one of the most stable players, performing really well now for a few games," Klopp said.

"We had this conversation four or five weeks ago, and I really don’t think it was that much about what we were talking [about], it was just the turning point that we spoke.

"You say you had problems before – and you will have problems in the future, that’s how it is – but how do you get out of that?

"So when sometimes, as human beings, we just give it out of our hands and say ‘it’s just not a great moment, I try really hard, I enjoy everything I’m doing’ but it’s not true.

"So we have to be honest with ourselves in these moments."

Gakpo struggled to find a place in the starting XI regularly until the last few weeks. Now, he's arguably Liverpool's most consistent performer up front, scoring once and registering two assists in the last four games.
