November 17th: In a recent interview, former Liverpool forward Mele talked about the Red Army's summer window signings. He believed that Isaac needs to prove his worth.

Meller said: "It's a huge encouragement to see Isaac back fit and available. He was one of the top scorers in the Premier League last season and people have compared him to Haaland."

"He had a great impact on the team at Newcastle, helping the team qualify for the Champions League and win trophies. This is the reason why Liverpool signed him because he is one of the top scorers. Isaac is An unbelievable finisher, Liverpool brought him in because they hope he can be that finisher, score goals, and seize opportunities. "

"His situation is frustrating in terms of goals and injuries. He hasn't found his rhythm at Liverpool yet. That shot against Manchester United was a very good opportunity for him. He needed that goal very much at the beginning of the season because of no pre-season and at Newcastle. He has encountered some difficulties in some situations, but as the season progresses, he will play an important role in Liverpool."

"Whether it is to put Liverpool in a more favorable position in the league or to achieve good results in the Champions League, you feel that Isaac will contribute to Liverpool, and seeing him come back is of great significance."

Regarding the team's formation, Mele said: "Isak and Ekiti. Who will start? It depends on the head coach! You will say that Ekitic is in good form, but he has indeed declined recently. "He is not the only one. The data shows that he only scored 1 goal in 8 games. You will wonder if this interval will help some players. When France played against Ukraine, he scored his first goal for the national team and returned to the Liverpool training base. He will definitely be more confident when playing against Nottingham Forest, and this intermission will help him a lot. "Compared with Isaac, he is still a little immature in terms of scoring ability, but he felt good scoring goals at the beginning of the season, but he has not been able to score recently, so the goal in the national team may help him regain his form."

"So who will start, considering his physical condition? It will be Ekitic, but Isaac is also eyeing it, and I believe Ekitic is also aware of this. In fact, they can also play together. They worked together against Frankfurt, and I think they work well together, so playing at the same time is another option. Salah did not start, so how to integrate them all into the lineup is a problem that the head coach needs to solve, but when all the players are healthy, this is a happy worry. "

"So Liverpool can no longer use injuries as an excuse at this stage. The players are back to health. The key is to get back to the state they had at the beginning of the season. Everyone was saying: 'Liverpool will win again.' But the season is still very long. "

"Now, because of the recent record, it seems that Liverpool has lost 6 games. In fact, there is still a long way to go before Christmas. Let's look at the situation and see if Liverpool can regain that form, that rhythm and some momentum, and try to improve their ranking in the league."
