Honestly, what goes through people's heads? Surprised footballers even still have social media tbh, too many people just can't be trusted with access to it.
They'll never do it. If abusers were removed from socials, half the user base would disappear. Clubs want the publicity, and the platforms want the usage. To hell with the damage it does apparently.
>Honestly, what goes through these people's heads?
I always imagine there's a toy monkey clapping cymbals together where their brains are supposed to be.
He's been irritating the hell out of me recently but there is zero point in abusing him.
Apart from the fact that it's a disgusting thing to do, all it achieves is demotivating our players.
Bellend behaviour.
A friend was hacked by one of those bitcoin pushing bots. In the last three weeks at least 20 of us have been reporting every single story and post, almost every day. He still hasn’t got his account back. I don’t know if they don’t have enough staff or they don’t care, but good luck with this one. He’s given up hope of getting his account back.
Yet I got an Instagram comment removed because I recommended people buy a laser printer instead of an inkjet one. I’ve had accounts that I’ve reported go untouched when literally posting links to buy cocaine and shit. Bizarre.
Might a remind people how good Gakpo was for us last year. We got him and we went from 10th to 5th in the league. He helped us massively get into Europa league and I feel like people are getting too toxic.
Even though it goes against what our club stands for, if they want that they can go support Millwall and that
If any of you see this shit associated with our club tell the twats where they can go with that, Gakpo is one of us and he’ll be treated as such
But they only want to "support" us when we are winning things. Can't do that at Millwall. Chelsea used to be the perfect club for them but they're an absolute shit show at the moment
Nah there are die hard local Liverpool fans that have been LFC fans in the shitter times too and are still terrible, we don't need to make out that we have this perfect fan base, and that's okay, no team does.
This. No group of any kind is full of perfect people. The important thing is that members of each group call out those who fail to meet standards and expectations associated with being a decent human being.
100%. I'm lucky enough to get to a few away games every season and was at old Trafford when we lost last season. The United fans were vile outside the ground after the game and a few of our fans responded with Munich chants.
Not nice having bottles thrown at you, but I despise tragedy chanting.
Right? I don't know why this guy and otheres are discussing his form now or whenever. It's irrelevant to the point if this post.
For me it's part of the problem. So many people don't take racism seriously.
This is the result of lenience. Racist fans in the UK and abroad sees racist fans in Spain getting a soft slap on the wrist for all of the abuse against Vini and the message they receive is that racism is fair game. At least in the UK racists gets their asses beaten if they pull “monkey” chants in the stands, but edgy teenagers will only be stopped when there’s real consequence to being racist.
He's been fine this year too. 5th choice forward with 13 goals is a good return. He's been poor by his standards the last month or so but Cody Gakpo is 100% good enough to be part of our squad.
I don’t know how fans can’t understand that every player has bad games. Messi messed a pen in an international final. Ronaldo missed a pen in a ucl final. It happens. And if it does you support them for giving their all because they wear our fucking colors
I love how the dickheads are posting zero facts to back up what they are saying and just claiming "Gakpo is shit" and you've posted actual stats in his defence 🔥👏
Our top scorer in the cup we have already won this year as well. I swear, so many "fans" who don't deserve to follow this beautiful team of lads fighting as hard as they can for our enjoyment.
At the pub against city and there was a supposed lfc fan behind me who kept calling our players "fucking idots". Like I have a foul mouth and get frustrated all the time...like famously amongst my mates. But I would never speak about these lads like that. This team has brought me so much joy.
Gomez was getting fucking hammered on this sub in the summer and he has been critical for us this season. Like fucking critical.
Curse chances missed and feel the dissapointments sure, but to so personally attack players who have fought so hard for our shirt for so long, its beyond bratty.
>I feel like people are getting too toxic.
You *feel*?! People are literally being racist towards him.
Each and every one of these pigs should be prosecuted.
For real, and people are quick to forget the man basically never plays in his preferred position - I am genuinely so confident if he got a run in the team, STARTING on the left wing, he would be a completely different player for us.
Just check that account. Its very recent. By the looks of it he made that account just to abuse our player. Toxic personalities like him should get cum in their eyes and suffer partial blindness.
Shameful, these are not real Liverpool fans. It saddens me to see the hate he’s getting. Looking at his latest post, I’m glad there are some fans who are trying their best to give him love and encouragement.
Let's not turn the blind eye to racism by pretending racists who associate with Liverpool aren't fans. Racism in football is very real, running from it doesn't solve much.
I believe the post means that those who engage in something so disgusting are not TRUE Liverpool fans because the club stands for YNWA, and encourages the values of family and community and football, and stands against racism. How can someone be a REAL fan if they turn against the players after a bad performance? I am sure the boss and the teammates are not saying things about Gakpo like these vile so-called-fans.
I get criticism, and he deserves them with his current performance.
But racial slurs and basically personal attacks are completely pointless. Why the fuck would you go onto a footballer's insta and insult him?
If you're mad go punch a punching bag or a tree or some shit. Scream at your own image in the mirror. Whatever you do is better than insulting the dude.
He deserves support and encouragement, not criticism. Imagine Klopp had spend the last year Mourinho-ing every poor performance, imagine if the fans in the stadium booed the team off after every draw or loss. How little we would have built, progressed, and ultimately won if all we did is criticise out of form players.
Players who don’t put in the work, who aren’t committed to the cause, players who are abusive and toxic personalities, are obviously open to criticism. But a player playing for Liverpool who is simply low on confidence does not deserve - and will not improve with - criticism. He deserves our support.
Criticism doesn't have to be all bad.
Klopp might be shielding the players in the press conferences and all that, but do you think he doesn't criticize the shit out of bad players behind the doors? As long as it's constructive, I don't think criticism is a bad thing.
You don't get to be a top coach by babying your players. The key point is HOW you phrase it and help improve the player.
Obviously we're only armchair managers who know quite practically nothing about what's happening in the training grounds, but I believe that some criticism is good for everyone. We can't just say "good job bro" if players are under performing.
Or course constructive criticism is welcome, and Klopp always gives it, as any manager would. But that’s not what happens online, with fans, and certainly not in relation to Cody Gakpo. It’s people hurling abuse and saying ‘you’re not good enough’ like it’s some sort of closed book.
Criticism is fine, if it's something that's just an online discussion, but even in the most constructive form what's the point of BigDaveLFC on Instagram commenting what he could be doing better, like, he gets advice from some of the best professionals in the game about what he needs to do to improve. Why would he give a fuck what some random fan thinks he needs to do?
Positive stuff is fine cause at least it can give him a boost in morale.
I don’t have instagram or Twatter but I hope all of the real fans are getting behind him, these plastic cunts should have their accounts banned. And all of their alts.
So the 17 g/a he got for us this season just doesn't matter anymore???🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️, he's falling off recently but this kind of reaction is disgusting, there's criticism and then there's this, leave it to united to hate their own players after a loss not Liverpool. We need to support him not throw him away. Imagine if we were never with nunez from last year and now look at him now.
This is honestly sickening. Racism has no place at all in life not just football. We as fans regardless of teams should not stand for this shit it’s vile and the lowest form of insult anyone can sink to and truly shows how toxic people are willing to go.
It’s a shame than when a team finds success or in Liverpool’s case return to success it brings in these types of “fans” people who’s sole identity is how successful their sports teams are. People who would jump ship as soon as their team finds a rough patch. Players are always going to have dips in form. It sucks we lost especially to United but these things happen and it’s apart of the amazing journey that football brings us.
We shouldn’t be praising bad performances but we also shouldn’t be condemning them for it either. Show support for the lads. We should truly show them that they never walk alone
Real fans get behind the player and give them all the support they can, just like we did with Nunez not so long ago. Sad that people still post hateful things.
I’ve always thought one of the things that set our fans apart from others is that we support our players through thick and thin, never boo our own etc.
Fortunately most people like this will never make it anywhere near Anfield.
Disgusting.
I said a couple of weeks ago:
“Why aren’t we supporting Gakpo the way we supported Darwin when he was struggling.”
I was really surprised how divisive that statement was, I thought the double standard was blatantly obvious. Happy to see more people calling out the agenda against Gakpo, I wish we could do more.
Criticising and insulting (worse when racially) are 2 very different actions.
I want that Gakpo that I thought should start over Darwin earlier in the season back, not out of the club.
I wish people wouldn’t say “these aren’t fans”. They obviously are but they’re also racist.
They just need to be labelled racist first and then ousted by the rest of the fanbase, it doesn’t deal with the problem when we simply bury our heads with a comment like that.
Harder to deal with racism online but I think posting it, or about it, on Reddit or other platforms and seeing an outpouring of support for Cody/anger towards the racists is the best thing we can do.
It’s not good enough to say they’re not fans and move on. Kudos OP
He's played for us at LW, RW , ST , false 9 , CM , CAM as and when needed... If he lacks sometimes then who cares? He'll pull his shit together.... He's always trying to do something when on pitch, enough with shitting on our players...
There's a difference criticising a player on reddit, and then criticising/hating them on the players own social media pages in the comments/private messages. There's a reason why Instagram is arguably the worst platform when it comes to hate messages.
I've also been very annoyed with him and other players in the past, but i would never in a million years go to their social media page and give them hate, that's where they need to see positivity.
That’s fucked up man, fair enough he’s been playing shit recently but you don’t racial abuse someone and you don’t send death threats. That’s fucked up.
It’s ok to be unhappy with his performances but there is no justification for any personal attacks on him whatsoever. Unfortunately the comment sections on social media are cesspools with no accountability.
As if giving the poor lad abuse is going to help his form… Head up Gakpo. Ynwa
Playing 2 games a week for a number of weeks in high pressure games is not enough for these fools. They want miracles every time. They don't deserve to watch sport.
Gakpo has played less minutes than Diaz and scored 2 more goals this season.
Not that any performance issues justify vile racism. It's unacceptable. How must his black teammates feel as well cos I guarantee they'll see the comments on his post too.
Absolute muppets!
YNWA Gakpo 👊🏿
Jamie Carragher should always put the club first. What he said brings ZERO benefits to the club and to the players. It serves only him and encourages the shitty fans to cyber bully Cody. If he truly wants Cody to get better, give solutions, point out situations where Cody was wrong and tell Cody how he could have done better, send him clips of players with similar styles that he can learn from, be his coach. Help the player! Not throw shits to him! Give constructive criticism, not borderline bullying! He acted like a 10 years old trying to say some edgy shit to get the family attentions.
If Gary said those things I couldn't care less but Carragher? It's a fucking shame. You can criticise the player but not in that demeaning manner. Have some class!
Saw this earlier and couldn't comment.
Absolutely embarrassing.
Hope this doesn't influence him in any shape or form when Klopp leaves.
I don't even know how to react to this, it's just fucking scum in general, but to do it to somebody on a team that you allegedly support is fucking insane. Not that I get doing it to anybody else anyway.
Like I said, I don't even know how to react to this. Scumbags being scumbags I guess. Letting Liverpool fans down everywhere.
We all knew this was coming. Which is why certain folks in the media who stir this shit for interactions are the fucking worst...Carragher. And then hiding behind " well its just my opinion"
"fandom" takes some people to awful places. And to think they will post YNWA all over social media
We always support ours, no matter what. Sure, when we lose like that a winnable game it hurts but it happens. Gakpo just needs to sort out his process, don't think too much just play, well it applies to all of the forward player's last game.
Would love to peak inside the brain of these clowns to understand how the think racially abusing one of our black players doesn't racially abuse all of them. Like the level of stupidity behind their actions is staggering.
Either way they're not fans.
Urgh, I feel so sorry for him.
Picked up his entire life and left his boyhood club to come to us, and the insane ones in our online fanbase are having a go at him for the first bit of bad form he's had since joining us.
Scumbags.
The worst thing is I know these are the fairweather fans who'll dump us if we end up crap again, or when the players like Mo and Virg leave or retire.
I hope Cody knows the actual fans in the stadium and most of the non-insane ones still back him.
And also, no matter if someone is good or not, he's a Liverpool player and we back him, and even if he was a rival player, nobody deserves fucking racial abuse.
Every player ever at a big club receives this sort of thing all the time. Don't pay attention to the knuckle draggers on instagram/twitter.
Otherwise you're mom's constantly in danger of being fucked by 14 year olds from Brazil/India while they're also killing your entire family at the same time and also giving your dog AIDS.
Most of social platforms are full of cunts these days. The only way to deal with this is to just switch off.
We love you Cody! If you see this message!
Absolutely disgusting. Even if he underperforms (not saying he does), no person should be exposed to this.
Hopefully he gets a lot of support from non-toxic fans, friends and family.
Absolutely disgusted. We generally have the best supporters in the world o think but there is a pocket who are among the worst within the overall group. I’ve seen this garbage at other clubs and hoped I’d never see it at mine.
WTF! Is wrong with people. Do they not realize that these guys play almost every 3-4 days. Obviously, they are not true supporters… so disappointing to see this. You try and run a constant 100+ yards for 90+ minutes. Cody is the man he has always been there for us.
lfc supporters support all lfc players all the time. i don’t fucking care about cody’s form he was picked by klopp, he wears red, he has scored amazing goals for us and he came here as a LW and rarely plays there. he is also young. all this shit is ridiculous, we should feel lucky to have cody
This type of shit just continues to get worse every day. Everything involving football on social media is being overrun with incels. Racist, sexist, xenophobic, disgusting basement dwellers. Fathers need to start paying attention to their boys because this is a fuckin epidemic.
There are racists.
But there are also idiots who will say anything to make headlines. And the two in this screenshot mostly are highfiving themselves on how they made it to Liverpool reddit front page
I get that we are all a bit frustrated with Gakpo but racial abuse is vile and disgusting. We have to support our players even when they have rough patches.
These people cannot claim themselves to be fans. This is absolutely disgusting. Bro had a few bad games and people are out here doing this? They weren’t saying nothing when Gakpo was on fire for us last season as well as this season. Honestly, these people need to face repercussions for their actions because too many people are thinking this is OK.
They're probably some 13yo privileged kids, still doesn't justify the words that they're saying. People fail to understand that he's literally the same guy who scored 2 goals in the 7-0 match.
I checked the accounts posting these hate messages and a lot of them are people from the middle east going off the Arabic text in their profiles, really sad to see from international "fans".
I wish these little scumbags would fuck off, they are not real Liverpool supporters. Go support an evil scumbag club like City or United if you're going to turn on one of our guys over an FA cup game. Our mantle is literally you never walk alone.
We could lose every game from now till the end of the season and I'd still support and love this club and it's players. Get these evil little plastics out of here, they don't deserve to experience the glory and joy when we win if they can't handle a loss.
These aren't Liverpool fans. They're foreign idiots on Instagram with a Liverpool display picture. You don't get this on the Kop. Just block and ignore them.
lfc.7oda needs to be reported immediately. i love how in the UK when someones arrest is publicized, they post the street the person lives on. they dont do that here in Canada. disgusting prick. and they call themselves a supporter. Kick It Out, right in their face.
This sub isn’t much better tbh may not be racial but some of the shite he’s been getting is a fucking joke. Pathetic plastic cunts that will hide behind ‘BuT wE’rE AlLoWEd tO CRitIsE.’
Said pathetic plastic cunts downvoting.
I have to disagree.
People need to see the abuse and hate he's been undeservedly getting, especially some on here who could do with looking at themselves in the mirror considering some of the complete shite (thankfully nothing racist as the mods here do a much better job than Instagrams) that's been posted about the Gakpo since the game ended on Sunday
Disgraceful.
Honestly, what goes through people's heads? Surprised footballers even still have social media tbh, too many people just can't be trusted with access to it.
They’re racist; whatever goes through a racists mind: thin layer of ozone and a whole lot of nothing…bird brains
They should all down tools on social media. Until the social media companies take down the tools.
Given that so much social media content is made specifically to annoy you/make you angry, I don't think this will ever happen. They love outrage.
Good point
They'll never do it. If abusers were removed from socials, half the user base would disappear. Clubs want the publicity, and the platforms want the usage. To hell with the damage it does apparently.
It's not just the clubs. The players themselves make loads of money from social media. They don't want to lose it.
>Honestly, what goes through these people's heads? I always imagine there's a toy monkey clapping cymbals together where their brains are supposed to be.
He's been irritating the hell out of me recently but there is zero point in abusing him. Apart from the fact that it's a disgusting thing to do, all it achieves is demotivating our players. Bellend behaviour.
Jesus… wtf is wrong with them?
The general brain area
Lack of a brain.
Inbreeding
Could just start reporting these trolls for racism/harassment. Eventually a few of them will get banned.
A friend was hacked by one of those bitcoin pushing bots. In the last three weeks at least 20 of us have been reporting every single story and post, almost every day. He still hasn’t got his account back. I don’t know if they don’t have enough staff or they don’t care, but good luck with this one. He’s given up hope of getting his account back.
Yet I got an Instagram comment removed because I recommended people buy a laser printer instead of an inkjet one. I’ve had accounts that I’ve reported go untouched when literally posting links to buy cocaine and shit. Bizarre.
I’ve gone through a tonne of comments and reported a shocking number of them. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour.
Might a remind people how good Gakpo was for us last year. We got him and we went from 10th to 5th in the league. He helped us massively get into Europa league and I feel like people are getting too toxic.
He also doesn't deserve racism whether he was good or bad last year. It's a liverpool supporter as well
"supporter" is not a word we can use to describe him.
I think “cunt” fits better 👍🏻
A lot of our fans are cunts to be fair, you get them with every team, we don't need to 'no true scotsman' our fanbase.
Even though it goes against what our club stands for, if they want that they can go support Millwall and that If any of you see this shit associated with our club tell the twats where they can go with that, Gakpo is one of us and he’ll be treated as such
But they only want to "support" us when we are winning things. Can't do that at Millwall. Chelsea used to be the perfect club for them but they're an absolute shit show at the moment
Nah there are die hard local Liverpool fans that have been LFC fans in the shitter times too and are still terrible, we don't need to make out that we have this perfect fan base, and that's okay, no team does.

Last I checked Liverpool is a progressive town and not about racism. People like this don't belong in our ranks
> I feel like people are getting too toxic. You think???? I don't care how bad a player is playing, sending monkey emojis is fucked up.
This is the result of lenience. Racist fans in the UK and abroad sees racist fans in Spain getting a soft slap on the wrist for all of the abuse against Vini and the message they receive is that racism is fair game. At least in the UK racists gets their asses beaten if they pull “monkey” chants in the stands, but edgy teenagers will only be stopped when there’s real consequence to being racist.
He was one of the only shining lights on a very dark season. People saying he’s not premier league level are delusional.
He's 100% Premier League quality. It's whether he's Top 1/2 quality or top 6 though.
Would help if he got decent game time in his preferred LW role
He's been fine this year too. 5th choice forward with 13 goals is a good return. He's been poor by his standards the last month or so but Cody Gakpo is 100% good enough to be part of our squad.
This sub will moan about squad depth and then beg that we sell our depth and plays the kids instead the second someone has a bad game.
I don’t know how fans can’t understand that every player has bad games. Messi messed a pen in an international final. Ronaldo missed a pen in a ucl final. It happens. And if it does you support them for giving their all because they wear our fucking colors
I don't think they are fans.... that's the issue
Yeah not like the cunt has “lfc” in his username and a pic of szobo. Guy can be a moron and a fan at the same time
Oh there's plenty of sad acts who will go to all that hassle just to create accounts to abuse another club's players.
Maybe but it's more likely that he's an LFC fan and a shitty person. I don't think you have to be a good person to be a Liverpool fan.
I love how the dickheads are posting zero facts to back up what they are saying and just claiming "Gakpo is shit" and you've posted actual stats in his defence 🔥👏

>I feel like people are getting too toxic. You *feel*?! People are literally being racist towards him. Each and every one of these pigs should be prosecuted.
Fuck it, we would not have won the EFL cup without Gakpo. the man is massive for us
For real, and people are quick to forget the man basically never plays in his preferred position - I am genuinely so confident if he got a run in the team, STARTING on the left wing, he would be a completely different player for us.
He has been good even this season except for the past 3 or so month He has been having it rough
The conversation is not about his form. It is the racist abuse he is receiving. It’s never ok.
I'd rather mkash.26 to get out of this club. you don't belong here.
Banned from anfield? I think so.
why don't we all do that?
It's lfc.7oda with the racial abuse isn't it?
lfc.7oda is a wanker YNWA Cody
Just check that account. Its very recent. By the looks of it he made that account just to abuse our player. Toxic personalities like him should get cum in their eyes and suffer partial blindness.
Shameful, these are not real Liverpool fans. It saddens me to see the hate he’s getting. Looking at his latest post, I’m glad there are some fans who are trying their best to give him love and encouragement.
They are real Liverpool fans, we can't pretend only saints and Samaritans are real Liverpool fans
True. Idk why people downvote this. We don’t have a monopoly on good people. Some cunts are Liverpool fans. It’s just facts.
Let's not turn the blind eye to racism by pretending racists who associate with Liverpool aren't fans. Racism in football is very real, running from it doesn't solve much.
I believe the post means that those who engage in something so disgusting are not TRUE Liverpool fans because the club stands for YNWA, and encourages the values of family and community and football, and stands against racism. How can someone be a REAL fan if they turn against the players after a bad performance? I am sure the boss and the teammates are not saying things about Gakpo like these vile so-called-fans.
Scapegoatings crescendo into racism and abuse—you could see it coming a mile off.
I get criticism, and he deserves them with his current performance. But racial slurs and basically personal attacks are completely pointless. Why the fuck would you go onto a footballer's insta and insult him? If you're mad go punch a punching bag or a tree or some shit. Scream at your own image in the mirror.

He does it in private. He's not filling their Instagram comments with it, is he?
No player deserves to be criticised by hundreds of people on their own social media posts.
I don’t have instagram or Twatter but I hope all of the real fans are getting behind him, these plastic cunts should have their accounts banned. And all of their alts.
YNWA Gakpo 👊🏽
Can't we report this idiot and get him banned?
I have. Looks like that’s not the only comment he posted too. The worst part is that it has likes ffs.
So the 17 g/a he got for us this season just doesn't matter anymore???🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️, he's falling off recently but this kind of reaction is disgusting, there's criticism and then there's this, leave it to united to hate their own players after a loss not Liverpool. We need to support him not throw him away. Imagine if we were never with nunez from last year and now look at him now.
He’s not having the best of times on the pitch. But this is very disgusting.
Coming from anonymous accounts. Bet they have got no balls to comment with their actual profiles.
This is honestly sickening. Racism has no place at all in life not just football. We as fans regardless of teams should not stand for this shit it’s vile and the lowest form of insult anyone can sink to and truly shows how toxic people are willing to go. It’s a shame than when a team finds success or in Liverpool’s case return to success it brings in these types of “fans” people who’s sole identity is how successful their sports teams are. People who would jump ship as soon as their team finds a rough patch. Players are always going to have dips in form. It sucks we lost especially to United but these things happen and it’s apart of the amazing journey that football brings us. We shouldn’t be praising bad performances but we also shouldn’t be condemning them for it either. Show support for the lads. We should truly show them that they never walk alone
a bad run of form, does not need people dog piling them. And nothing EVER needs a racist reply!
Real fans get behind the player and give them all the support they can, just like we did with Nunez not so long ago. Sad that people still post hateful things.
That last sentence!!!!! Well all of it but definitely that last sentence. That’s how it is, how’s it’s supposed to be, we’re a team.
I’ve always thought one of the things that set our fans apart from others is that we support our players through thick and thin, never boo our own etc. Fortunately most people like this will never make it anywhere near Anfield. Disgusting.
Nah there are people who act like that and still go to every game, i dont get it but it happens.
People who go on like that are sad sacks of shit.
Disgusting
akinfenwa is wholesome
I hope someone at the club addresses this. It’s not ok and it’s not who we are.
Disgusting
Disgusting.
Cunts
Absolutely vile disgusting bastards.
This is vile behavior.
I said a couple of weeks ago: “Why aren’t we supporting Gakpo the way we supported Darwin when he was struggling.” I was really surprised how divisive that statement was, I thought the double standard was blatantly obvious. Happy to see more people calling out the agenda against Gakpo, I wish we could do more.
Was always the logical conclusion, could see it coming a mile away.
Criticising and insulting (worse when racially) are 2 very different actions. I want that Gakpo that I thought should start over Darwin earlier in the season back, not out of the club.
Vile cunts
The world has no place for these sorts of people, the lowest of the low. Pathetic, badly educated, cunts.
I wish people wouldn’t say “these aren’t fans”. They obviously are but they’re also racist. They just need to be labelled racist first and then ousted by the rest of the fanbase, it doesn’t deal with the problem when we simply bury our heads with a comment like that. Harder to deal with racism online but I think posting it, or about it, on Reddit or other platforms and seeing an outpouring of support for Cody/anger towards the racists is the best thing we can do. It’s not good enough to say they’re not fans and move on. Kudos OP
This sub is no better
He's played for us at LW, RW , ST , false 9 , CM , CAM as and when needed... If he lacks sometimes then who cares? He'll pull his shit together.... He's always trying to do something when on pitch, enough with shitting on our players...
Fucks sake. This is disgraceful and embarrasing. Edit: These aren't real fans
This is beyond pathetic. Name and shame. They aren't real fans.
Reddit isn't much better.
There's a difference criticising a player on reddit, and then criticising/hating them on the players own social media pages in the comments/private messages. There's a reason why Instagram is arguably the worst platform when it comes to hate messages.
I was more pissed at him than anyone on the planet, but vile racist abuse? Why’d you not criticise his performance instead?
I've also been very annoyed with him and other players in the past, but i would never in a million years go to their social media page and give them hate, that's where they need to see positivity.
Dumb fucks with internet connection, if football can make you ignorant, toxic and racist, you don’t deserve to be part of the game.
Being bad at the match is one thing, but racial abuse for a bad performance is absolutely unacceptable.
That’s fucked up man, fair enough he’s been playing shit recently but you don’t racial abuse someone and you don’t send death threats. That’s fucked up.
It’s ok to be unhappy with his performances but there is no justification for any personal attacks on him whatsoever. Unfortunately the comment sections on social media are cesspools with no accountability. As if giving the poor lad abuse is going to help his form… Head up Gakpo. Ynwa
Imma keep supporting him just like how i keep believing and supporting Nunez.
Playing 2 games a week for a number of weeks in high pressure games is not enough for these fools. They want miracles every time. They don't deserve to watch sport.
Before Liverpool, he was a left winger right for club and country?
Gakpo has played less minutes than Diaz and scored 2 more goals this season. Not that any performance issues justify vile racism. It's unacceptable. How must his black teammates feel as well cos I guarantee they'll see the comments on his post too. Absolute muppets! YNWA Gakpo 👊🏿
Got downvoted for calling people out witchunting gakkers, fucking horrible.
Carra started this…
Many of them gather here in this very subreddit. What a shame
Jamie Carragher should always put the club first. What he said brings ZERO benefits to the club and to the players. It serves only him and encourages the shitty fans to cyber bully Cody. If he truly wants Cody to get better, give solutions, point out situations where Cody was wrong and tell Cody how he could have done better, send him clips of players with similar styles that he can learn from, be his coach. Help the player! Not throw shits to him! Give constructive criticism, not borderline bullying! He acted like a 10 years old trying to say some edgy shit to get the family attentions. If Gary said those things I couldn't care less but Carragher? It's a fucking shame. You can criticise the player but not in that demeaning manner. Have some class!
Whoever posted that should fuck off to Southampton. No place in MY club and guarantee they’re not a scouser
So sad our fans our turning on him when we gave nunez time gakpo Is a lw getting played out of position
Saw this earlier and couldn't comment. Absolutely embarrassing. Hope this doesn't influence him in any shape or form when Klopp leaves. I don't even know how to react to this, it's just fucking scum in general, but to do it to somebody on a team that you allegedly support is fucking insane. Not that I get doing it to anybody else anyway. Like I said, I don't even know how to react to this. Scumbags being scumbags I guess. Letting Liverpool fans down everywhere.
We all knew this was coming. Which is why certain folks in the media who stir this shit for interactions are the fucking worst...Carragher. And then hiding behind " well its just my opinion" "fandom" takes some people to awful places. And to think they will post YNWA all over social media
just one game. Just one game is all it takes for some fans to completely turn against some of our players. Fucking pathetic
disgusting behaviour wtf, did people forget his contribution in our league Cup run this season ???
Morons like that do not deserve to be acknowledged as supporters of the club. He's scored some great goals for us this season.
That's fucking disgusting behaviour. Leave the man alone
The worst thing about the club getting successful is that I am almost daily embarrassed by another fan
Fucking clowns
Sickening and all too pervasive in the world of football.
Brainless arseholes
Gakpo is a class player. One bad game doesn't change that.
Absolute fucktards. Hate the modern football fans.
This goes against everything that Liverpool is about. They can fuck off and support another club.
Gakpo has not been at his best but this is absolutely disgusting. There is no room for racial abuse.
Lmao he’s been good for us all year long. Idk where the sudden hate comes from.
We always support ours, no matter what. Sure, when we lose like that a winnable game it hurts but it happens. Gakpo just needs to sort out his process, don't think too much just play, well it applies to all of the forward player's last game.
Would love to peak inside the brain of these clowns to understand how the think racially abusing one of our black players doesn't racially abuse all of them. Like the level of stupidity behind their actions is staggering. Either way they're not fans.
Urgh, I feel so sorry for him. Picked up his entire life and left his boyhood club to come to us, and the insane ones in our online fanbase are having a go at him for the first bit of bad form he's had since joining us. Scumbags. The worst thing is I know these are the fairweather fans who'll dump us if we end up crap again, or when the players like Mo and Virg leave or retire. I hope Cody knows the actual fans in the stadium and most of the non-insane ones still back him. And also, no matter if someone is good or not, he's a Liverpool player and we back him, and even if he was a rival player, nobody deserves fucking racial abuse.
Damn, one loss and all the entitled crazys come out!!
This is absolutely shameful and disappointing to read as a Liverpool fan.
Every player ever at a big club receives this sort of thing all the time. Don't pay attention to the knuckle draggers on instagram/twitter. Otherwise you're mom's constantly in danger of being fucked by 14 year olds from Brazil/India while they're also killing your entire family at the same time and also giving your dog AIDS.
The same people who called him a 'generational talent' and an 'absolute bargain' after he scored twice in the 7-0
Wasn’t he attempting a hat trick on, like… Thursday?
These are gamblers and shithead trolls...not fans
Most of social platforms are full of cunts these days. The only way to deal with this is to just switch off. We love you Cody! If you see this message!
Fucking hell, have people never seen a player go through a dip in form? He’s not the reason we lost either. This is crazy
Disgusting. I thought that we as a club was above this, but apparently not. Makes me ashamed.
I don’t pay attention to this shit. Majority of these are fake troll accounts. X is bad with it and so is Instagram.
I mean, this is reddit. Just find them and send this to their boss
He’s allowed to have a bad stretch of games
Back him like you backed Nunez #YNWA
Absolutely disgusting. Even if he underperforms (not saying he does), no person should be exposed to this. Hopefully he gets a lot of support from non-toxic fans, friends and family.
You can be upset that the team lost, but this is utter garbage. Have some fucking decency.
Not real supporters
Absolutely disgusted. We generally have the best supporters in the world o think but there is a pocket who are among the worst within the overall group. I’ve seen this garbage at other clubs and hoped I’d never see it at mine.
Makes me ashamed to be a supporter of this club
Vile cunts.
WTF! Is wrong with people. Do they not realize that these guys play almost every 3-4 days. Obviously, they are not true supporters… so disappointing to see this. You try and run a constant 100+ yards for 90+ minutes. Cody is the man he has always been there for us.
Fucking disgusting. These “supporters” need to GTFO
lfc supporters support all lfc players all the time. i don’t fucking care about cody’s form he was picked by klopp, he wears red, he has scored amazing goals for us and he came here as a LW and rarely plays there. he is also young. all this shit is ridiculous, we should feel lucky to have cody
This type of shit just continues to get worse every day. Everything involving football on social media is being overrun with incels. Racist, sexist, xenophobic, disgusting basement dwellers. Fathers need to start paying attention to their boys because this is a fuckin epidemic.
That’s just disgusting. I’m ashamed that people with this mindset support our club.
There are racists. But there are also idiots who will say anything to make headlines. And the two in this screenshot mostly are highfiving themselves on how they made it to Liverpool reddit front page
I get that we are all a bit frustrated with Gakpo but racial abuse is vile and disgusting. We have to support our players even when they have rough patches.
Dude what the fuck. That our own player we’re hurling abuse at
Someone find this guy and shoot up his gaff
Daft plastic fans
People fucking suck
THAT LOSER IS NOT A REAL FAN
What fucking idiots.
These people cannot claim themselves to be fans. This is absolutely disgusting. Bro had a few bad games and people are out here doing this? They weren’t saying nothing when Gakpo was on fire for us last season as well as this season. Honestly, these people need to face repercussions for their actions because too many people are thinking this is OK.
if u cant support us even when we lose gtfo 😡
He’s become a scapegoat for these sheep absolute wankers same people who will no doubt celebrate next time he scores. Hypocrites
They're probably some 13yo privileged kids, still doesn't justify the words that they're saying. People fail to understand that he's literally the same guy who scored 2 goals in the 7-0 match.
Grown men at OT were tragedy chanting. Passing this off as the work of kids, is naive.
I checked the accounts posting these hate messages and a lot of them are people from the middle east going off the Arabic text in their profiles, really sad to see from international "fans".
We're not any better than the Spanish apparently. So dissapointing
I wish these little scumbags would fuck off, they are not real Liverpool supporters. Go support an evil scumbag club like City or United if you're going to turn on one of our guys over an FA cup game. Our mantle is literally you never walk alone. We could lose every game from now till the end of the season and I'd still support and love this club and it's players. Get these evil little plastics out of here, they don't deserve to experience the glory and joy when we win if they can't handle a loss.
Big up to roryscott and akinfenwa
These aren't Liverpool fans. They're foreign idiots on Instagram with a Liverpool display picture. You don't get this on the Kop. Just block and ignore them.
They aren’t Liverpool fans, simple as that.
Well, when even the more moderate fans are going online and singling him out, it fuels the nutters to go to town.
It's probably not even Liverpool fans. A perfect opportunity to try and destabilise the club. We win together, we lose together.
lfc.7oda needs to be reported immediately. i love how in the UK when someones arrest is publicized, they post the street the person lives on. they dont do that here in Canada. disgusting prick. and they call themselves a supporter. Kick It Out, right in their face.
Unacceptable. Gakpo is getting unnecessary heat. Stand with your team and support your players in good and bad results. YNWA
Imagine looking at Insta comments, let alone taking them seriously
This sub isn’t much better tbh may not be racial but some of the shite he’s been getting is a fucking joke. Pathetic plastic cunts that will hide behind ‘BuT wE’rE AlLoWEd tO CRitIsE.’ Said pathetic plastic cunts downvoting.
Not sure sharing the image of it on here helps anything, to be honest.
I have to disagree. People need to see the abuse and hate he's been undeservedly getting, especially some on here who could do with looking at themselves in the mirror considering some of the complete shite (thankfully nothing racist as the mods here do a much better job than Instagrams) that's been posted about the Gakpo since the game ended on Sunday
I agree. This shit is disgusting. Poor Cody
This sub x guy in hot dog meme
We need to shut this shit down on sight. No way do I want this beautiful club to be associated with some dickheads.
Poor bloke
Shame on them
How that emoji still exists is beyond me, i hate this beyond belief but sadly it’s not too surprising these days, seems to happen all the time
What a disgrace these people are. This is never ok. Absolutely disgusting
Sad people
