It is a dilemma that Slot will have to solve in the coming weeks, with Ekitike in better form than Isak, but the latter needing minutes to get back up to speed. Liverpool has to get the balance of minutes for both players right.

When Nottingham Forest comes to town on Saturday, Slot could pick Wirtz in that role again, or he could revert back to the number 10 plan. Wirtz isn't going to start every single game in the next run, but it feels like a crucial period for how his season — and Liverpool's more generally — will be viewed.

Salah, like Wirtz, should be looking forward to playing teams where he should be able to build some momentum.
