The debate over Liverpool’s number nine continues after Alexander Isak’s goalless start to the Premier League season. The Sweden international was handed another start in Arne Slot’s first XI for Sunday’s 2-1 home defeat to Manchester United, but struggled to make an impact, registering just two shots on goal.
A big chance in the first half, played through by Ibrahima Konate, went begging, and Isak spent much of the game dropping deeper to link play rather than threatening the United defence.
