Alexander Isak signed for Liverpool in a £125million deadline day deal with Newcastle United, but the Swedish striker's time at Anfield hasn't exactly gone to plan - with Jamie Carragher handing Arne Slot a stern warningJamie Carragher has told Arne Slot that he must find a way to play Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike together. We're buying, we're doing this, we're doing that.'"And I was thinking on the way because everyone's had an opinion on, 'He should play him, he should play him, he should do that.' Because it's been a Real Madrid summer in terms of buying big players, does Slot almost need to be like the ultimate Real Madrid manager?"And I always think of [Carlo] Ancelotti, and I feel like Ancelotti every summer, you'd almost be thinking, 'What's he going to do with that?' Even last season there was, 'How can he get [Kylian] Mbappe and Vinicius Jr in the same team?'"But if you go back to his AC Milan teams or his Real Madrid teams, that was his greatest strength as a manager.

He'd find a way, whatever system, and he just he'd get the best players on the pitch where they wanted to play and almost do it for the players rather than..."I think in this day and age the game's almost a manager's got his way of playing. It might be a case of actually, you know what, we've got to make this work, not so much they've got to come into the Liverpool team or the slot idea and and play."So we always play under Slot, don't we, 4-2-3-1?.

Because I even think Ekitike and Isak, he's got to find a way. And given the Reds have lost three consecutive games to Crystal Palace, Galatasaray and Chelsea, Slot may need to find a way of getting his players back to their best soon if he has any hopes of defending the club's league title.For the latest news and breaking news, visit liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc.
