Sheringham: Ekitic should get the starting position, and it is unfair to let Isaac replace him directly

Former Manchester United striker Sheringham believes that if Ekitic continues his hot form, Isaac may have to accept the arrangement of serving as a substitute at Liverpool.

Sheringham said: "Ekitic should be given priority to Liverpool's starting position on the front line than Isaac. Ekitic has integrated well into the team and performed very well in the early season games. Although Isaac is excellent, I think it is unfair to him to let the new player directly replace Ekitic's starting position."

"I think Slot will slowly integrate Isaac into the team, rather than directly let him take on the heavy responsibility. He needs some time to restore his physical fitness and adapt to Liverpool's tactical system. This method can also keep Isaac eager to prove his value in training, and enter the starting lineup with strength rather than fame. Ekitic has a longer adaptation time and proves his strength on the court. If I were him, the new player will directly replace me. I won't be happy! "

Regarding Heraffenberg's outstanding performance, Sheringham said: "Hraaffenberg's performance at Liverpool is impressive so far. He has made significant progress compared to when he first joined. He looked a little out of place when he first joined, but then improved significantly, showing the level of top players. I will include him in the list of the best midfielders in the Premier League."

"I really appreciate his performance on the court. He has become one of the key players to make Liverpool the most dominant team in Europe. He may not get the praise he deserves because there are many star players on the team, such as Salah, Ekitic, Sobosloy and now Isaac! I have a hunch that he will play a crucial role in Liverpool's championship journey this season."
