LIVERPOOL RECEIVES CONCERNING UPDATE AS ALEXANDER ISAK ADMITS ONGOING FRUSTRATING ISSUE
After a contentious £125M move from Newcastle, Alexander Isak's Liverpool start has been hampered by injury & form. The Swedish striker's slow progress is a concern, but he vows to return to his best for both club and country after a recent comeback.

After his injury-plagued season, after making a British record £125 million move to Liverpool, Alexander Isak expressed his anger. After effectively going on strike at St. James' Park in an attempt to force an escape, the striker joined the Reds on transfer deadline day from Newcastle United.
The Swede did not play for the Magpies throughout preseason or the first few weeks of the Premier League season, spending most of the summer practising alone. He was consequently forced to play catch-up after moving to Anfield at the beginning of September.
Admittedly, Isak's Liverpool career has started slowly; in his first eight games, he has only scored once.
However, a groin injury sustained last month after being substituted out at halftime in the Reds' 5-1 thumping of Eintracht Frankfurt halted his progress.
Before the November international break, he was an unused replacement in Liverpool's 3-0 loss to Man City and missed the team's following four games.
As a result, the 26-year-old returned from injury to play for Sweden in their most recent World Cup qualifying match on Saturday. He was sent on as a replacement in the 62nd minute, but he was unable to save his country from losing 4-1 on the road to Switzerland.
Isak stated after the defeat that he "felt okay" after his injury comeback and is committed to getting back to his best for the club and the nation.
It lasted roughly thirty minutes. "It felt fine," he expressed to Sportbladet. "I think my body had a positive reaction following the contest.
"Hopefully, I can do well in Tuesday's encounter against Slovenia."When you are hurt, it is usually annoying. No matter how many matches there are. The player always suffers the most.
It has not been the best. However, I do not make any excuses for myself when I am on the field. I always want to perform and play my game.
However, it is difficult to be gone and unable to assist and contribute. I am back now and feeling good. Football does not have many easy things. However, experience teaches you how to handle situations.
That is the way things are with injuries and everything. You figure out how to handle it and get back on track properly.
Graham Potter, the manager of Sweden, stated in his own press conference after the game that he plans to give Isak more playing time against Slovenia if he recovers from his injury.
"Isak was supposed to play for thirty minutes," he stated. "Getting into that position in the game was not simple.
"Hopefully, Tuesday will bring us more of him. He will play more against Slovenia, according to the plan.
RYAN GRAVENBERCH CRITICIZED FOR LETHARGIC DISPLAY AS LIVERPOOL CONCERNS RISE
Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch was labelled "lazy" by Dutch legend Pierre van Hooijdonk after a poor display for the Netherlands. The criticism comes amid a tough season for the Reds under Arne Slot.

News about Ryan Gravenberch's poor performance for the Netherlands will not sit well with Arne Slot.
In their penultimate FIFA World Cup 2026 qualification encounter on Friday, the Liverpool star played for his country against Poland. The Netherlands would have qualified for the competition next summer with a victory, but they were held to a 1-1 draw, maintaining their three-point lead at the top of Group G.
The 23-year-old began the game with Reds teammates Cody Gakpo and Virgil van Dijk, and it was the midfielder and captain who received harsh criticism from former Netherlands international Pierre van Hooijdonk.
The former striker, who played for teams like Nottingham Forest and Celtic, called Gravenberch's performance "lazy" and chastised him for failing to follow runners during the match.
Using words from Voetbal International, Van Hooijdonk stated during his analysis of the game's video: "It is laziness, because you think the ball will not fall there anyway." For instance, everyone was "on" against Spain, and nobody let their man go.
"But you actually have a false sense of dominance when you have a lot of possession against those kinds of teams." Even though Gravenberch has not yet attained the great heights he did the previous season, he has been one of the few positive influences in the resoundingly awful season for the defending Premier League champions.
Slot, who has suffered a record poor run of five league losses in six games, would be under much greater pressure if his form declined. Gravenberch has been a constant for the Reds aside from missing the season opener against Bournemouth due to suspension and the 3-2 loss to Brentford due to injury.
With two assists in all competitions and three goals already in the league, his final product has undergone a significant change. He did not score a goal the previous season, so this is already a huge improvement.
Gravenberch acknowledged that Slot was the reason for his higher numbers and acknowledged that his manager had granted him more authority to proceed. Gravenberch said on TNT Sports, "It’s the coach that gives me the confidence," following his goal in Liverpool's 2-1 victory over Everton in September.
"We have greater flexibility in the midfield this season. I was only on the six, like deep, deep, last season. As you witnessed today, I am now able to move on. That is also my strength.
"I am pleased with that as well as the objective. I believe I did not even score last season. Naturally, I want to score more goals and provide more assists this season. I am rather pleased with today.
FLORIAN WIRTZ BREAKS SILENCE AFTER GARY NEVILLE CRITIQUES LIVERPOOL PERFORMANCE
Liverpool's Florian Wirtz faces harsh criticism from pundits like Gary Neville after a tough start. A German report claims the £120m signing is "not interested" in the noise, blaming it on ex-Man Utd commentators.

After playing a very promising game against Real Madrid, Florian Wirtz appeared to have turned things around at Liverpool. Unfortunately, that turned out to be somewhat of a false dawn on the following outing, much like the team as a whole.
After suffering a humiliating 3-0 loss to Manchester City, Liverpool went into the international break with a bad taste in their mouth. If the refereeing performance was poor, it was only surpassed by Arne Slot's team's performance, which had nothing to gain from the contest.
It is critical to evaluate Wirtz in light of these group conflicts. However, it is also not unreasonable to argue that, even with a struggling club, he ought to have been able to make a bigger impression given the name and cost he brought with him.
Nevertheless, people like Gary Neville have undoubtedly added too much. Slot must be the main target of attention, given how badly everyone is playing, but the media is still swarming Wirtz like vultures.
Wirtz has had a bit of a baptism of fire, even by English press standards. Neville threw a fit at him during the Manchester City loss.
Neville stated on the Gary Neville Podcast that "Wirtz is an issue, let us call it what it is." "There is a problem.
Even though he is worth £120 million ($158 million), he appeared to be a young lad. That is not possible.
Neville called it a "big worry" and, just for good measure, added that Wirtz had been "mauled" and "chucked around the pitch" by Man City. "Really awful day" is how he described the German international's performance.
Therefore, you could understandably ask where Wirtz's head is when he departs to represent his nation. However, the national news reports that he is handling things calmly.
According to a Bild story, readers do not have to feel sorry for Wirtz. He is "not especially interested" in the comments, which is the main reason for this.
The article also points out that the harshest criticism seems to share a common trait. The transfer has been described to as "destructive" by Wayne Rooney, "trouble" by Neville, and "question" by Rio Ferdinand.
According to the German publication, all of these former players who are now commentators have close ties to Manchester United. Therefore, it is not entirely shocking that they are keen to destroy a costly Liverpool recruit.
To be fair, that is probably a bit harsh, especially for Neville. He is now nearly as well-known as a commentator as he was as a Manchester United player, and he is not afraid to voice his honest thoughts.

Furthermore, it is not as if Wirtz has received no criticism from Liverpool sources. Only the most ardent (or possibly unyielding) followers would deny that they had a little higher expectation.
However, the Man Utd ties might contribute to the explanation of why the criticism has been so harsh at such an early stage. The vast majority of those who watched Wirtz in Germany share the Bild article's unwavering confidence that he will do well as those around him step up their game.
Furthermore, Liverpool will not support any action that enables Wirtz to ignore the criticism and silence the clamour, even if the Man Utd connections do not fully explain everything. Repeated external attacks can even be welcomed since Slot requires a siege mindset to restore his team to its peak.
