Alexander Isak believes Liverpool can turn their fortunes around after three consecutive Premier League defeats. The Reds fell 2-1 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, with Estevao scoring deep into stoppage time to snatch victory from Arne Slot’s side. Cody Gakpo had briefly equalized after Moises Caicedo’s early opener, but the late blow left Liverpool reflecting on what went wrong.
Focus on Details
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com after the match, Isak stressed the importance of fine margins. “We were speaking [about] details in our press and also on the ball, the spaces to find to be able to hurt them. I think we created chances enough to score and it just wasn’t enough today,” he said.
Even though Liverpool struggled to get going, getting better as the game went on and offering glimpses of what they can do up front. The message is obvious – focus and hard graft will be the order of the day in turning that around.
Belief Remains Strong
When asked if momentum alone can solve Liverpool’s struggles, Alexander Isak emphasized that belief is already present. “This team has shown that many times. It’s never easy of course, but hard work and working on details and getting back to our best – we have that belief.” The Swedish forward, making his fourth start since joining on deadline day, added that his fitness is improving and he is ready to contribute fully moving forward.
Author’s Opinion
Recent defeats of Liverpool provide insights into both the mental resilience and tactical evolution needed. Isak’s quotes suggest a determined squad who knows it’s going to take hard work to get back in shape. With the upcoming international break giving them breathing space, Liverpool have until they face Manchester United to re-evaluate. If they focus on the details, and add that with their natural belief, then they can come back better in the next few games.
