In the first part of his weekly ECHO column, John Aldridge analyses Liverpool's defending and the performance of Alexander Isak in the 3-1 Premier League win over Crystal PalaceLiverpool's performance against Crystal Palace was all right, but if the Eagles had got a draw, I don't think we could have really complained. He should have scored twice, but Freddie Woodman pulled off a good save and the other one was blocked.I know I'm nitpicking, but I just don't get it.



But the goalie pulled off a couple of good saves and we got away with it.Isak goal was instinctive but he needs more serviceAll our goals against Crystal Palace were brilliant, but I loved Alexander Isak's goal.He did what myself and loads of other centre-forwards have done in the past. That's what he's good at and what he did at Newcastle and it's what he can do at Liverpool.He needs feeding.

At the moment, he's not quite doing that. But his movement is good, so he's got to learn and the team's got to learn how it works for both.
