Cody Gakpo was a frequent Liverpool hero in the Carabao Cup and was the main reason Liverpool traveled to Southampton for the quarter-finals.
Via LiverpoolFC.com The Dutchman was asked his thoughts on the south coast double and said: ‘I think two goals are good, but I think we should have scored more goals or had assists.
‘But in the end, I’m also very satisfied with my goals.’
It’s a real insight into the elite mindset the 25-year-old clearly possesses, as he still has a burning desire to get better even after all those headline-grabbing performances.
Arne Slot will be delighted to hear this and it’s hard to think he didn’t add further fuel to this fire by removing the forward while hoping to secure a hat-trick.

Cody Gakpo is always looking for more in his game.
The former PSV man’s first and second goals both showcased his talents on the left wing, thanks to his new manager sticking to this positional decision.
With Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa remaining out injured, our number 18 will be given plenty of minutes and this performance at the American Express Stadium will further boost his chances of playing. It will.
Let’s hope this cup form can transfer to the Premier League and Champions League. Let’s hope that the player’s desire for more goals and assists can come true.
Arne Slot’s reign at Liverpool is set to turbocharge as the Reds enter a rollercoaster fixture sequence.
