After instigating a strike to secure his move to Merseyside, Isak was forced to train alone during his final weeks in Tyneside, which has impacted his initial performances for his new club.The Swedish international has been on the pitch for 312 out of the 630 minutes played by Liverpool since his signing at the start of September, but having also made two appearances for his national team during the break, Slot is now counting on his No.9 to start delivering.

This is not normal for a player."I think I have said many times we have signed him for six years so if we want him somewhere we have to go through this period of playing him where ideally you would use him earlier in a friendly match than a Premier League game or a Champions League game."But there is no time in In the midst of the season for a friendly match, we had to build him up playing Premier League matches and I believe you have to be at your best to make a difference at this level.Alexander Isak has been told to start repaying his transfer fee.

That is the simplest thing but to be the leader in pressing from our front three, there we can improve as well, that is something he needs to do but Hugo Ekitike the same."Of course you are a No.9 at Liverpool, you need to score goals but that is what he has always done in his life. The only thing he needs to be is fit and if he is fit, our team is still creating the most chances from open play in the Premier League and we have the most shots on target in the Premier League from open play."
