Lewis Steele identifies Alexander Isak as the player positioned to lead the Liverpool attack under manager Andoni Iraola. Despite a slow start to the Premier League season, which included a draw against Newcastle United and a goal in a 2-2 result against Nottingham Forest, Steele anticipates a 20-goal campaign for the striker. The assessment highlights a transition period for Liverpool as the squad works to build cohesion within the starting lineup. Steele notes potential for an attacking formation featuring Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola alongside Isak. Beyond the starting trio, Liverpool maintains depth in the wing positions with Gakpo, Munoz, and Rio providing Iraola with multiple tactical configurations. Steele maintains his projection of Isak as the standout performer for the club despite early competition for the role.
