But Liverpool really do need to remember how to keep a clean sheet.That’s the main difference between ourselves and Arsenal now. Manchester City are dangerous and will always be a threat, but Arsenal are far more settled regards line-up and what they are trying to do.READ MORE: Arne Slot's Liverpool in-tray with five key changes needed to turn Reds form aroundThat’s the complete opposite to us at present.

We don’t look like we’re ever going to keep a clean sheet at the moment.We look so vulnerable whenever the opposition gets beyond the halfway line and we keep coughing up simple chances – and big chances at that.The first line of the defence is always the forwards, but they don’t seem capable of doing much pressing at the moment.The midfield isn’t functioning defensively and the back four are not showing much togetherness, which perhaps is understandable given there’s barely been much consistency of selection in that area of the team.Virgil van Dijk is being asked to do far too much to keep things afloat at the back and that’s understandably starting to affect his own game.The international break has come at a good time as it gives us a time to have a bit of a reset. We can’t afford to lose too many more games and the time has come to go back to basics.It wouldn’t have been the worst result in the world to get a point at either Crystal Palace or Chelsea, and maybe it’s time to start grind things out again.Isak needs moreThe chopping and changing all through the team isn’t helping anyone.

Not least Alexander Isak and his attempts to get off the ground as a Liverpool player.It’s perhaps not that much of a surprise. The Swede is similar to I was as a player in that he’s a striker who benefits from the ball being played in to him, rather than someone like Hugo Ekitike who is quite happy to drop deep and go looking for it.He helped create the equaliser for Gakpo at Chelsea and there was a header over from Salah’s cross, but we know Isak can do a lot more.
