Liverpool’s new look forward line for this season is aimed at one big question, can Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike start together under Arne Slot?
Slot explains Isak and Ekitike options in Liverpool Attack
Speak with the press via Liverpoolfc.comOur manager admitted that he is open to use both center ahead in the same line-up as the circumstances are good.
“Of course I consider because you are considering many things and it always depends on how well they do it, so if they are both in the best form of their lives, you would even consider it more, playing together,” The Dutchman explained it.
The 47-year-old emphasized that his preferred structure remains a 4-3-3, but also emphasized how often his teams have completed competitions with two strikers.
“The number of times we played at the final phase of the game with two nines, which also happened a lot,” he said.
This tactical flexibility can be crucial because our British record figing is to build up ISAK Fitness.
The Swede, who gained 27 goals for Newcastle last season, still works to its best level after a short-season-IS-IS, which has also tackled the boss.
Why the forward depth of Liverpool is the key this season
Ekitike, who joined Eintracht Frankfurt for £ 69 million, has already shown that he can bother the defense, both as a central striker and from the left drift.
“Hugo can indeed play from the left than Cody [Gakpo] or Rio [Ngumoha] And that’s the good thing about our team, we have several options, “ said our boss.
With Florian Wirtz also in midfield, the attacking depth on Anfield can already be seen clearly.
The manager underlined how important it is to keep players fit, admit: “They are all fit now and I think I might choose between 21 players, so that is very normal. It is not that it is way too much.”
With Everton apparently not blessed with the same clean health glasses, let’s hope that our rich options can lead to a convincing victory this weekend in advance.
