The Premier League is back, Liverpool are preparing for a huge trip to Newcastle and Andoni Iraola has made it clear what he expects from Alexander Isak.
On the latest Media Matters, Dave Davis is joined by journalist Lewis Steele to unpack Iraola's first Premier League press conference and the major talking points surrounding Liverpool as the new season gets underway.
Lewis provides insight from inside the room as Iraola discusses a potentially defining campaign for Isak, with the Liverpool boss stressing that availability must come first before the club can see the best of their record signing. With Salah no longer providing his usual goals and attacking options limited, could Liverpool's season ultimately depend on Isak staying fit and firing?
There's also discussion of Florian Wirtz, with Iraola seemingly determined to build a partnership between Liverpool's two attacking stars, plus the manager's admission that Liverpool still need further reinforcements out wide.
Lewis also provides the background to Curtis Jones' move to Inter Milan, including why the midfielder had seemingly made his mind up about leaving months ago, while Dave and Lewis discuss Liverpool's new vice-captaincy structure and what it means for Dominik Szoboszlai.
And away from the pitch, with Liverpool now talking to potential future shirt sponsors, could the club's recent ownership developments eventually lead to an Amazon connection?
