On Wednesday, former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge noticed Slot trying out something new that simply did not work.Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz front two doesn’t workThere are plenty of reasons why Isak has not been able to fully hit the ground running for Liverpool since his mammoth signing in the summer.Perhaps the biggest of these is to do with shape.
