Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo believes that he displayed both "good and sloppy moments" in his debut for the Merseyside giants against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup.

The 23-year-old started alongside Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah in the frontline at Anfield before being withdrawn on the 84-minute mark in Saturday's 2-2 draw.

Gakpo ended his Liverpool debut without a goal contribution to his name, as Nunez and Salah struck alongside Goncalo Guedes and Hwang Hee-chan for the visitors.

Wolves had a late third for Toti ruled out due to a controversial offside decision, meaning that the two sides will renew hostilities at Molineux in a replay on January 17 for a place in the fourth round.

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com after the game, Gakpo vowed to continue improving but admitted that it was a "pity" that his side only scored two goals on the night, saying: "Really great atmosphere. For my own game, I think I showed some good moments and some sloppy moments.

"So, I can also still improve on those points and keep working and try to help the team as much as I can. Of course you learn the most when you're playing games, so I'm looking forward [to more].

"I think we played in phases really good football but in the end we didn't score enough, so that's a pity. But I think we showed what we could do, but we can still improve on some points and let's work on that.

"I think we showed real team spirit at moments, so that's good. I think we have to go there [Molineux] with great determination and just go for the win."

Meanwhile, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was satisfied with what he saw from Gakpo on his first appearance in Merseyside red and expects the former PSV Eindhoven man to adapt to the demands of English football with time.

"He fitted into the game. It was not easy for a first step," Klopp told ITV. "We cannot expect it to be perfect, but he showed good signs. We have to get him in better positions but that will come no doubt."

Wolves were gifted the opening goal when Alisson Becker played the ball straight into the path of Guedes, but Nunez clinically volleyed home to restore parity for the hosts just before the break.

Salah's 52nd-minute strike saw Klopp's men turn the game on its head, but Hwang's close-range effort 14 minutes later trickled through the legs of Alisson over the line.

Julen Lopetegui's side thought that they had knocked the holders out when Toti finished from close range following a corner, but after a lengthy VAR check, the goal was ruled out due to offside.

Matheus Nunes is understood to have been in an offside position when receiving the ball back from a teammate, which was called by the assistant referee, and a lack of camera angles meant that there was not enough evidence to overturn the decision.

Before facing Wolves again on January 17, Liverpool's next Premier League game sees them travel to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
