Andoni Iraola ready to unleash striker, might be better than Alexander Isak

Andoni Iraola is prepared to introduce a Liverpool striker who could outperform Alexander Isak. Unfortunately, Isak is injured and his availability for the upcoming match against Manchester City remains uncertain. Iraola commented on the situation during a press conference, stating that both Isak and Cody Gakpo had to leave the national team due to injuries.

Lewis Koumas could benefit from Isak's absence as he is not expected to play in the match. Koumas's role in the Liverpool squad is primarily focused on pressing, running channels, and creating movement, which aligns with Iraola's preference. Liverpool is not likely to rely on a striker who only played in the Championship previously and had limited goal-scoring opportunities.

Thus, Koumas, who prioritizes pressing, creating chaos, and movement, might be a more suitable fit for this match against City.
