In the 11th round of the Premier League, Liverpool defeated Manchester City 0-3 in an away game and has slipped to 8th place in the standings. Ekitic started this campaign and was replaced by Gakpo in 56 minutes, while Isaac did not appear as a substitute.

Transfer blogger Indykaila News (Green Hat Brother) just released exclusive news, saying:

"Liverpool management is annoyed at not signing Guey in the summer window; the new formation will be tested after the international match, Ekitic& Isaac; senior players believe that the championship battle is not over yet; elite-level wingers will become targets in January."

However, considering that the credibility of Green Hat Brother's information is relatively average, it remains to be seen whether the Red Army will really make major changes in the future international matches.
