Alan Shearer identifies tactical changes to improve Alexander Isak form

Alan Shearer has outlined the tactical approach Liverpool should employ to maximize the impact of striker Alexander Isak. The 26-year-old forward has started the Premier League season with three goals in three appearances for his club. Shearer credited the improvement in output to Liverpool utilizing quick balls into the space behind opposing defenders, specifically highlighting the service provided by Cody Gakpo during a 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town. Isak noted that scoring these early goals has helped alleviate pressure following a difficult first campaign at Anfield after his £125m move in 2025. The forward is currently tied for the lead in the Premier League Golden Boot race alongside Bruno Fernandes and Erling Haaland. His recent performance at Portman Road demonstrated the effectiveness of the team's adjusted strategy in creating one-versus-one opportunities for him to finish.
