In the 5th round of the Premier League, Liverpool beat Everton 2-1 at home to win five consecutive victories. Heraffenberg and Ekitic each scored one goal, and Isaac made his Liverpool league debut. After the game, former Reds player Irving talked about the position competition between Isaac and Ekitic.
Irving said: "It's incredible that your team has several of the best forwards in the world at the same time, and you have to give them a sequence. You can't say 'You last game, he last game', no one will be happy with the arrangement. You need to give players a clear order, which is very interesting - but it's pretty simple for Slot at the moment.
"Isaac had a turbulent, ups and downs in preseason cycle at Newcastle. If you don’t consider the mid-week match (League Cup vs. Southampton), how will the league match against Crystal Palace be arranged next weekend? Once both Isaac and Ekitic are fully in the state, you must make clear primary and secondary arrangements. ”
