"Richards was also clear that Isak should be dropped from the starting line-up for the foreseeable future, with Hugo Ekitike being the one to replace him. Ekitike is the better nine at the moment. It's as simple as that. He's fitter, he's sharper. When he came on, he created chances for himself. The change of formation to try and accommodate both of the strikers when it went to sort of a 4-2-4, it looked like at one stage in the game."
"Liverpool are currently in a poor moment, having lost three of their last four matches in all competitions the latest of those defeats coming against Man United on Sunday. Arne Slot's side are struggling to gel, and in particular, their big-money summer signings are not stepping up. The biggest of those signings was Alexander Isak, who arrived from Newcastle in a British transfer record deal worth 125m."
Liverpool have lost three of their last four matches in all competitions, including a recent defeat to Manchester United. The team are struggling to gel and their expensive summer signings have not produced expected returns. Alexander Isak joined from Newcastle in a British-record 125m transfer but has failed to score in the Premier League so far. Observers describe Isak as not fully fit and argue he should be dropped from the starting lineup. Hugo Ekitike is suggested as a replacement, being fitter, sharper and more effective when introduced. Isak retains time to improve, but removal from the starting XI may ease pressure.
