According to Goal, Stephen Warnock, former Liverpool FC player, believes Alexander Isak has become a "major problem" for Liverpool FC. The £125 million striker is struggling with his form and appears unable to cope with the pressure that comes with wearing the No. 9 shirt.

Warnock, a former Liverpool FC defender, spoke to Goal about the club's issues with signing high-priced players: "I watched Nottingham Forest play Liverpool FC last weekend. Apart from scoring a goal, Alexander Isak did nothing else."

"His form is terrible. He looks disinterested. I thought this was a player who should have had a full preseason to come back hungry and prove himself, but he doesn't seem able to do that."

"He doesn't even seem able to handle the shirt, and that's a big problem. The expectations that come with his transfer fee demand results, and the pressure is clearly affecting him. He looks lost right now. Perhaps he hasn't quite built enough chemistry with his teammates, but you train together every day, so by now he should understand the game."

"I think Florian Wirtz's form is acceptable, but he drifts in and out of matches and doesn't do what the team needs from him. Sometimes he seems to disappear—he'll appear and then vanish during the game, and often can't have an impact for long stretches."

German attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz cost £116 million. After signing Alexander Isak, Liverpool FC also signed Gio Everton for £79 million last summer, and in the most recent transfer window, brought in Barcola, who previously played for Paris Saint-Germain and won the Champions League, for £123 million.

The combined value of this attacking lineup exceeds £400 million, but how will Ancelotti fit them all into the same system? On this question, Warnock said: "It will be very difficult. Fortunately, Gio Everton is injured, so that's one less problem to solve for now."

"The team's attack is heavily left-sided. Even if Alexander Isak and Gio Everton are on the pitch together, they'll drift left because that's their instinct for finding space. Barcola likes to play on the left, and we know Gakpo does as well."

"Actually, I'm glad they've kept Gakpo because I think he's an excellent rotational player with great versatility. He can play as a centre-forward, on the left, and on the right, though he may not be as comfortable on the right. I think he'll feature more on the right this season because he may need to rotate in attack with Victor Muñoz. Then there's Anguelu, which is another problem you're facing."
