Liverpool have got 'two quality players for many positions'

Liverpool boss Arne Slot, speaking to the media after win over Brighton in League Cup: "Cody [Gakpo] has been, in my opinion, a good player for Liverpool for a long time now.

"He continues to bring that and that's a good thing. For me, he is a regular starter. He's not started every game but he's started on a regular basis and he's in tough competition with Luis Diaz who, when he went to the left [wing], also scored a goal.

"That's normal if you play at a club like Liverpool, you've got two quality players for many positions. But, for me, Cody has been a regular starter this season.

"I really liked what I saw from players that haven't played that much this season yet.

"They were able to play a similar style that we usually do and they brought quality into the game. That makes it even harder for me to make line-ups in the upcoming weeks."
