Liverpool FC Predicted Starting XI at Eintracht Frankfurt

Ahead of the visit to Eintracht Frankfurt tomorrow night, Liverpool FC have now lost four on the bounce. Given the record-breaking spending spree that Anfield engaged in this past summer transfer window, the critics are out in ful force. That includes Manchester United, Everton and England national team legend Wayne Rooney.

Rooney called for manager Arne Slot to drop Alexander Isak, who became the most expensive player in English football history, when he was signed from Newcastle United for €150 million, towards the end of the window.

Rooney believes Huge Ekitike should get the call over Isak.

“I wouldn’t play Isak, he hasn’t looked ready since coming from Newcastle,” Rooney said on his BBC podcast: “The Wayne Rooney Show.”

“He hasn’t trained, hasn’t had a preseason. It’s so important. While Newcastle were training he was probably sat at home on the phone to his agent for six hours a day trying to get a move.

“It’s so difficult when you don’t have a preseason. He might’ve done stuff by himself but he’s paying the price of it.

“On performances, he doesn’t deserve to be playing ahead of Ekitike.”

Well then, let’s see if manager Arne Slot follows Rooney’s advice. For what it’s worth, and really it’s not worth all that much (LOLOLOL!), we made the switch here, in our lineup prediction.
