Liverpool fans were finally treated to another Alexander Isak goal on Saturday as he found the net for the first time since breaking his leg in December.It has been a hugely challenging season for Isak following his club-record move from Newcastle last September, and he has barely had a sniff since returning in April.Saturday was a reminder of his quality, though, and having also scored during the 3-1 win over Crystal Palace, Florian Wirtz said what every Liverpool fan has been thinking about Isak: that his teammates simply need to get him the ball far more often.

But, still, they have all played alongside a number nine before, it should not be such a problem.Nevertheless, it clearly has been, and as Slot looks to make a better go of things next season, he simply needs to work out how he can get Isak the ball in the penalty box as quickly and as often as possible.Wirtz will definitely help with that, and there have been flashes of an understanding developing between the budget-bursting pair when they have managed to play together.There will be some supporters out there who are questioning the quality of Isak after what he has shown during a stop-start debut season with the Reds, but Saturday was just another example that he is just not being given the service he needs. Remedy that, and Liverpool will still be on to a winner.
