After recent performances, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to justify leaving Alexander Isak on the bench for Liverpool FC.
With a huge game against Fulham FC coming up, the question is simple:
👉 Surely Isak has to start?
A Long Road Back
It’s important to remember that Isak has been out for a long period.
Returning from injury is never easy, and there’s always a need to manage minutes carefully.
But after making his comeback appearance against Paris Saint-Germain, the situation has changed.
👉 He’s back fit
👉 He’s had minutes
👉 Now he should be ready to start
A Much-Needed Presence
Liverpool’s attack has looked:
Flat Predictable Lacking cutting edge
In games where they’ve struggled to create chances, Isak offers something different:
Movement in behind Physical presence Composure in front of goal
Time To Take The Next Step
Cameo appearances are one thing — but Liverpool now need more.
Against Fulham, this feels like the perfect moment to:
👉 Move from substitute to starter
If he’s fit enough to come on in a Champions League quarter-final, surely he’s ready to lead the line in the league.
A Big Call For Slot
Arne Slot has some big decisions to make.
After a blunt attacking display last time out, sticking with the same approach would raise serious questions.
The Bottom Line
Liverpool need goals. They need energy. They need a focal point.
And after his return against PSG, it feels like the timing is right:
👉 Isak deserves his chance from the start.
