He isn't THAT young though is he? He's 24/25 and he's been here long enough now to adapt and find his feet. With Grav it's a bit different as he came late in the summer and didn't have a pre-season with us.
If he doesn't impress in these next 10-15 games, he could well be shown the door in the summer.
He's 24 but he's also adapting to a new position as a false 9.
I think he always appeared to lack confidence on the pitch, he's 6' 4 but somehow appears smaller than other players. For comparison, Nunez at 6' 2 has a lot more presence on the pitch.
I don't think it helps when fans suddenly decide that a player is sh*te and needs to go when they are in a period of bad form. It's true that Cody has not played well for a few games now. I think the injuries to the other forwards put a lot of pressure on Cody to carry the attack and score goals. Some players rise to the challenge, some don't.
I think he needs to have some minutes on the pitch when there is less pressure on him so he can rebuild his confidence.
I think he's a very good player who is an important part of the squad. We have a lot of world class players and I'd not have him in my everyone fit best 11 this season. But that does not mean he's sh*te. I'm a Liverpool
supporter and will continue to support him and the other players.
It's true that we should not have blind, unquestioning loyalty to the club. If a player is really bad we should admit that; but Cody is not sh*te IMO.
