The Reds’ poor form is down to a lot of things, but the fact that players such as Alexander Isak still haven’t hit the ground running is arguably one of their main problems.Others, such as Jeremie Frimpong and even Mohamed Salah, have followed this pattern, with Slot mostly blaming it on the fact that they still need to get used to how one another plays. Liverpool’s first-team squad was chopped and changed in more ways than one last season, and now, Adebayo Akinfenwa has given his thoughts on what will happen to Isak once things eventually click.Alexander Isak will be able to cause problems for Liverpool when he gets back to his bestIsak’s transfer to Liverpool in the summer was one of the main stories of the window.

And now, while speaking on BBC Sport’s Sacked in the Morning Podcast, Akinfenwa gave his thoughts on how good Isak could eventually become.“Every Liverpool player and every Liverpool fan knows that when Alexander Isak hits form, or whenever it clicks, he’s a problem,” he said.“What is up for debate is the blending of a lot of characters and styles into a new team.“Isak would have thought he was coming into a more stable team, and he was just going to add his little bit to it, whereas there are just a lot of changes, and the core of the team now has changed.“He has been used to being the main man at Newcastle, where there was also probably a lot more space for him to run into, too.“He’s got to adapt his game, and then everybody else has got to adapt to each other.“What is unfortunate for him and everybody involved with Liverpool is he is trying to find his feet at the same time as Hugo Ekitike.“Mohamed Salah is still trying to be like: ‘OK, I’m the main man, I got 50-plus goals doing it a certain way, which everybody understood.’“He probably thinks: ‘If it’s not broken, why would I fix it?’ Whereas the problem is now that they have new players, it is broken.”Alexander Isak must prove why Liverpool spent £125 million to bring him to AnfieldAlthough Isak may be out injured at the moment, upon his return, he could be the Reds’ saviour. Aside from Dominik Szoboszlai and Hugo Ekitike, none of Liverpool’s players have performed particularly well this season.

However, upon his return from injury, if Isak can come back and instantly start bagging goals for the Anfield outfit, he could be the saviour Liverpool are looking for.Photo by Ulrik Pedersen/NurPhoto via Getty ImagesThere was a lot of pressure riding on Slot’s men coming into the 2025-26 season, with most people thinking they’d be close to unstoppable. That’s unfortunately been far from the case, and unless Isak comes back from his injury in good form, more questions will likely be asked.
