He&#8217;s been there and created, but maybe the end result was unfortunate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s also experienced a change in playing style. He was used to a 3-4-3 system, so there are different factors involved.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"typo-tk-rs-title-lg text-content-block-default-text-fill-01\" data-testid=\"body-subtitle\">Equitique will be a \u201chuge success\u201d<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wrap-anywhere typo-tk-rs-body-md text-content-block-default-text-fill-01\" data-testid=\"body-paragraph\">Liverpool have shown signs of regaining their form over the last week with back-to-back wins against Aston Villa and Real Madrid.<\/div>\n<p>Hugo Ekitike, who joined from Eintracht Frankfurt at the start of the summer, led Liverpool&#8217;s line in both matches without Isak.<\/p>\n<p>Ekitike has scored six goals for the Reds and Slott is rooting for him to be a &#8220;huge success&#8221; with the club.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you&#8217;re that tall and your footwork is as good as he is, that&#8217;s what makes him special,&#8221; Slott said. &#8220;His footwork is great, his finishing is great, so we&#8217;ve brought in two very good No. 9s, just like we&#8217;ve brought in a lot of good players in the past.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The depth in the Premier League is very strong so playing every three days will be something for him (Ekitike) to adapt to, but he is very talented and will be a huge success at Liverpool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"body-thumbnail\" class=\"gap-tk-fx-between-elements-md flex w-full flex-col text-left focus:outline-none\">\n<div class=\"group relative w-full\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Play video\" aria-pressed=\"false\">\n<div data-testid=\"body-thumbnail-picture\" class=\"wrapper-16-9 rounded-tk-radius-rs-sm relative\">\n<figure class=\"card-hover-zoom absolute h-full w-full\">\n<div class=\"h-full w-full object-cover\" data-testid=\"blurry-image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"text-transparent h-full w-full object-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/imgresizer.tntsports.io\/unsafe\/1200x0\/filters:format(jpeg)\/origin-imgresizer.tntsports.io\/2025\/10\/25\/image-7b9d4b22-3858-4c1b-9b52-18a24339a56b-85-2560-1440.jpeg\" alt=\"photograph\" data-testid=\"image-high-res\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body-thumbnail-caption text-content-block-default-text-fill-03\" data-testid=\"body-thumbnail-caption\">\n<p class=\"typo-tk-rs-caption-xs\">Cole compares Isaac and Ekitike&#8217;s dilemma to the dynamic between Carol and Suarez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"typo-tk-rs-caption-xs\">Video credit: TNT Sports<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Comparing Ekitike and Isaac, Slott added: \u201cThey have similar qualities, but they also have different qualities. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In my opinion, Hugo can also play on the left or around Alex, while Alex is more of an out-and-out No. 9.
