“Hopefully we can win everything. It’s the start of the season, we are in all competitions ,and when you participate in a competition you participate to win," Gakpo told Sky Sports when asked for his aims this season.
“So that’s our goal and I think last season we showed we can do it. We were very close to a lot of things but missed it in the end a little bit, but that gives us hope and strength that we know we could come that far.
"So this year we are going to push even further. We have a good group, a lot of quality. We’ve known each other a little bit longer now, so yeah, all those things help.”

Slot though is keeping his powder dry for now and instead wants to wait until Liverpool are halfway through the league campaign. Even then, he believes his side will have to slay Goliath in , who have amassed 31 points more than the Reds over the last two seasons.

“But one thing I noticed in the compared to the league I have come from is that every team has a few players who cost £40m-£50m and have a lot of quality so there are no easy games in the Premier League. I know every manager says it but it is true.
“I think it is always difficult to judge the league table after five, six or seven games because if you look at they were really unlucky [with the fixture list] playing , , Chelsea and Villa - that is a different fixture list than the one we had.
"So I think the best way to judge the League table is after 19 games. I don't mind if they underestimate or overestimate us. The situation is Manchester City, I think, have taken 30 or more points from us in the last two seasons. So that is the situation as it is and we're trying to close that gap.”
