Alexander Isak found the net in Liverpool's 3-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday for his first Anfield Premier League goal for the RedsThe most technically gifted players don't just make football look easy, they can make it sound easy too.Florian Wirtz might not have had the impact on Liverpool and English football that many were expecting when he made his all-singing, all-dancing £116m arrival last summer, but he's clearly a supremely talented player.And what's more, he knows how to get the best out of those around him as well, as evidenced by his answer when asked about Alexander Isak after the Reds' win over Crystal Palace on Saturday."I think it’s also important for him that we feed him with balls because if he’s just there on top alone then it’s hard for him to score goals," said Wirtz rather matter-of-factly. "I think he needs the balls to score them and as you could see today, if he gets the chance he normally scores."FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!

Feed the Swede and he will score.But of course Liverpool's issues this season have meant that assembling that supply line has proven difficult, while even if they had got things right in that department, more often than not Isak has not been there - or not been fit enough - to finish the chances that are created.It has all made for a difficult beginning to Anfield life for the only Reds player more costly than Wirtz, but there is hope that his strike against Palace on his third start since returning from a broken leg can herald the beginning of a rich end to the season, and remove the nagging worry that the most expensive signing in British football history won't work out.Jamie Carragher had voiced his concern over just that earlier this month, with the Anfield legend stating that during his one-club career he often saw players struggle to get going, and that in turn would see their stints in L4 as a whole fall flat."[The big-spending summer] hasn't worked," Carragher told the ECHO. "It might work in the future because I don't think you can judge every signing in the first year."But I've said this before; my experience as a Liverpool player, every player who came to the club, I can't remember one who didn't really do much in his first season, and then was a revelation afterwards.

He obviously got the injury, but he didn't look great to start with."Carragher did more than most of his contemporaries to keep Liverpool competitive in the late 1990s and 2000s, while his time at Anfield included instant impacts from the likes of Michael Owen, Xabi Alonso, Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez. The Brazilian looked a fish out of water in his first few months as a Liverpool player in 2015, even playing at left wing-back at Old Trafford under Brendan Rodgers.It took the appointment of Jurgen Klopp for him to really find his feet, but once he was installed as the creative fulcrum of Liverpool's attack, and a team was built around him, he simply didn't look back.Firmino's former team-mates and fellow Premier League and Champions League winners Andy Robertson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Fabinho were all drip fed into the Reds team by Klopp to provide further examples of not so immediate impacts, while Ryan Gravenberch's improvement from season one's all-action but often naive midfielder to season two's league title winning defensive midfield force - and the division's young player of the season - was clear.Isak, and indeed Wirtz for that matter, have plenty of examples that they can follow going into next season then, but they will only do so if Arne Slot can create a structure in which both can flourish, which has surely been his plan.Having spent the money that they did on both Liverpool can ill afford for the pair not to be a success.And after everything that has gone on this season, you sense that Slot's position in the year ahead will depend getting the best out of both.
