Isak Concern Grows as Five Liverpool Players Underperform for Slot
Five Liverpool players are raising concerns for manager Arne Slot with their recent performances, headlined by a growing issue surrounding forward Alexander Isak. Player ratings compiled by the Liverpool Echo reveal a dip in form for several members of the squad, prompting questions about team cohesion and individual impact.
the ratings, based on performances throughout the season, show Isak (5.63) struggling to integrate effectively with his teammates despite being available for selection. This lack of understanding is becoming a notable worry for Slot as he seeks to build a cohesive attacking unit. Other players under scrutiny include Ibrahima Konate (5.69), whose form has been inconsistent, earning a rating below five in four matches, including his recent display at Manchester City. Milos Kerkez (5.29) has also failed to justify his £40million price tag since arriving from Bournemouth, showing only “glimpses” of potential.
Mohamed Salah (5.94) experienced a significant regression in October but has shown signs of enhancement in recent games against Aston Villa and Real Madrid. Alexis Mac Allister (5.82) is also nearing full fitness after a disrupted pre-season, demonstrating increased stamina and influence in matches.
Players with limited playing time, such as Rio Ngumoha (6.80),Joe Gomez (6.20), and Wataru Endo (5.80), have shown promise but require more opportunities to fully contribute. Jeremie Frimpong (5.71) has been hampered by injury issues, impacting his ability to establish himself in the team.
