'I don't like how Slot is using Isak'

I don't understand the plan for Alexander Isak. He's the most expensive footballer in English football history and he's had a horrible, horrible season where he looks nothing like he did at Newcastle United.

There's a famous clip of an Isak assist for Newcastle in which he dribbles down the left flank, then runs along the byline and creates a goal from nothing.

How could he do that for Liverpool when he just stands up front waiting for service that never comes?

Erling Haaland can get away with having four or five touches a half because he scores goals. Isak isn't even shooting. It's crazy how uninspiring his performances are.

Yes, he's coming back from a nasty injury. And yes, he missed pre-season - but for me it's more about what we're asking him to do stylistically. He used to play like Thierry Henry - drifting to the wing, dribbling and creating.

With Hugo Ekitike probably out for over a year due to his Achilles rupture, we need Isak to arrive. I don't like how Arne Slot is using him. It's a problem.
