Alexander Isaac has been carefully handled since his blockbuster work on Liverpool and his blockbuster work on Arne Slot explaining why fans still have time to see what he is best
Arne Slot claims it will take time for Alexander Isak to adapt to his new Liverpool teammate.
Isaac was a second half substitute with a 1-0 defeat to Galatasaray on Tuesday night, but was able to set the starting role against Chelsea on Saturday, depending on Hugo Ekichique’s fitness, and the French had to withdraw from injury in Istanbul.
Swedish International has been carefully managed since moving from Newcastle, where he trained alone before the season. And while a lot is going on around Isaac’s fitness, Slot warns everyone that the striker must build an understanding with his teammates, and once he is fully fitted and fired, vice versa.

“I told him the hard thing is you do your appearance, but if you add a few minutes together, it probably won’t be over two 90 minutes,” Slot told his news conference on Friday. “That’s what we inherited from his situation in Newcastle. We had known this before, so that’s not an excuse.
“() The main thing is that he has to adapt to his teammates and they have to adapt to him. He had a big counter moment against the palace, but he didn’t see it in the middle. These are things they need to work on, but it was more difficult than last season because of Alexander, Alexis (Mac Allister), Conor (Bradley), Dom (Dominik Szoboszlai).
Liverpool headed for Stamford Bridge this weekend after losing their second back-to-back game under the slot.
And even in the games we’ve won so far this season, there’s been an air of vulnerability about the Premier League champions, but while slots feel like they don’t have much between their performances this season and the end of the previous season, the team is now approaching differently.
“The second part of last season had many similarities to the end of last season, the Dutch added: “The main difference is that we scored seven goals from the set piece, but we’ve already admitted four this season. We were really good at the second half of last season, but we’ve had a lot of chances from the set piece this season, but we haven’t scored.
“Ibou (Konate) had a huge opportunity against Galatasaray and Palace. I’m pleased with the amount we could be creating from them, but we need to score more.
“We haven’t done much different things, but the other teams are. The teams are playing completely differently now than when I first came here. Last season was a set piece. We haven’t done it this season yet.”
