00:00Alexander-Izac to Liverpool.

00:02This isn't just about goals, this isn't just about transfers.

00:05This is a system-defining, ground-breaking deal.

00:09So slots-Liverpool is a complete change from Klopp's.

00:12Still pressing, but it's more calculated.

00:14The controlled chaos is sort of gone.

00:16Liverpool now build from a 4-2-3-1, but in possession it becomes a 2-3-5, if you like.

00:22Full-backs tuck in, midfielders can start to overload, and of course the striker becomes

00:26the focal point.

00:27And this is where Izac fits perfectly.

00:30He's 6'4 but has the pace and agility of a winger, so he can drop deep whilst carrying

00:34the ball and still finishing clinically.

00:36And 23 goals last season, whilst still overperforming your xG is quite impressive.

00:41So he doesn't just score more than Nunez, but he creates space as well.

00:44Carrying the ball from deep he attracts defenders, which creates space for players like Salah

00:48on the wings.

00:49And slot wants those fluid rotations.

00:51Positional overloads, and Izac's tendency to switch over to the left just adds that little

00:55bit more fluidity.

00:57A potentially over £120 million deal is crazy.

01:00But Liverpool aren't just buying hype here, they're buying a fit, they're buying someone

01:04that's going to completely change the way that they operate.

01:07So this isn't just smart, it's necessary from Liverpool.
