Liverpool have climbed to fourth in the Premier League standings and will look to produce a statement display against Arsenal tomorrow.
The Gunners head into the game as favourites and lead the way in the Premier League, but the game promises to be an exciting contest.
Alexander Isak has been the Reds’ talisman this season and has already scored six goals to his name in the competition.
And Andoni Iraola believes that while the Swede is delivering in front of goal, he needs to improve other facets of his gameplay.
Andoni Iraola praises Liverpool striker Alexander Isak
Iraola started off by praising Isak’s finishing ability, which was on display once again vs Brighton last week.
However, the Liverpool manager also claimed he needs to fine-tune other aspects of his game, although he didn’t explicitly mention which ones.
“He’s always been a good finisher,” said the Spaniard via Sky Sports.
“If we can put him in position around the box, he will deliver the goal, the result. He also knows that he has to help the team, so the team can play better and we can give him more chances to score.
“He’s understanding this and he’s improving in other areas where he hasn’t been as good. I’m happy because he’s doing the job.”
There aren’t too many strikers better in and around the box than Isak, but in terms of his link-up play and pressing, he can slowly go up a gear or two under Iraola.
