With the international break almost behind us, the proper football is back and Liverpool have a lot to look forward to in September.<\/p>\n

Liverpool play six matches in 17 days across three competitions, and we can\u2019t wait! <\/p>\n

The September internationals are always a slog, with fans just getting back into the swing of things only to be halted by World Cup qualifying.<\/p>\n

However, it is almost over, and Liverpool\u2019s three wins to place them atop the Premier League<\/a> have got us counting down the days until we next get to see them in action.<\/p>\n

Here are five things we want to see from the Reds in September:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Liverpool to look less exposed on the break<\/p>\n

While Liverpool have a 100 percent Premier League<\/a> record this season, there is still plenty of work to do on the training pitch if the Reds are to win major silverware in May. <\/p>\n

Against Arsenal<\/a>, Slot\u2019s team defended well. However, throughout pre-season and the opening games of the campaign, a change in tactics has left the defence regularly exposed on the break. <\/p>\n

Liverpool have moved from 4-3-3 to a system in which the Reds are thinner in midfield and often left susceptible to counter-attacks.<\/p>\n

For the team to be triumphant this season, the right balance must be found in midfield.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alexander Isak to get off the mark<\/p>\n

\"GLASGOW,<\/p>\n

Liverpool have a new No. 9 and he is ready-made to become an instant hit for Arne Slot<\/a>\u2018s side. <\/p>\n

He may, though, be forced to bide his time as he returns to full match sharpness following a summer of self-imposed exile at Newcastle<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Isak made his first competitive appearance since May 25, playing 18 minutes for Sweden in a 2-0 defeat to Kosovo. <\/p>\n

With Hugo Ekitike<\/a> starting his Liverpool career in fine form, there won\u2019t be a rush to start Isak if he isn\u2019t yet ready \u2013 he\u2019s not a bad option to have off the bench at Turf Moor!<\/p>\n

Perhaps a goal in the derby on his home debut is the best way to start, anyway \u2013 Virgil van Dijk<\/a> did that and went on to have a good career, didn\u2019t he?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

To see that brilliant third kit in action<\/p>\n

\"Liverpool<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s new third kit is here and it is a beauty.<\/p>\n

You can never really judge a kit\u2019s true colours until it is seen in action, though, so we can\u2019t wait to see Liverpool run out in the turquoise green. <\/p>\n

Thankfully, we won\u2019t have to wait long until it gets its debut on Sunday at Burnley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Giovanni Leoni and Rio Ngumoha to play in the Carabao Cup<\/p>\n

\"NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE,<\/p>\n

One notable area in which Liverpool fell down last season was the use of the squad. A lack of rotation meant the players looked tired in February, and it ultimately cost them the Carabao Cup<\/a> as well as contributing to their Champions League<\/a> exit.<\/p>\n

While several of last year\u2019s squad players have left, Slot has a new crop of youngsters to integrate, and Liverpool\u2019s Carabao Cup<\/a> third-round tie against Southampton<\/a> is the perfect time to do so.<\/p>\n

Giovanni Leoni<\/a> could make his debut at Anfield on the night, while we would expect Ngumoha to start his first match of the campaign also. <\/p>\n

Trey Nyoni<\/a> could, too, be in line for a start, with plenty of senior players featuring in addition to help ease the transition for their young teammates.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A good start in the Champions League<\/p>\n

\"LONDON,<\/p>\n

Last season, Liverpool strolled through the Champions League<\/a> phase, qualifying at the earliest opportunity after winning their first seven matches. <\/p>\n

In hindsight, Slot admitted he needn\u2019t have thrown so many resources into the league phase, so we could see slightly more rotation this time around. <\/p>\n

However, Liverpool will still need to be at the top of their game given the difficult fixtures they have been dealt. <\/p>\n

The campaign begins with a home match against Diego Simeone\u2019s Atletico Madrid, before the Reds head to Istanbul for 90 minutes in Galatasaray\u2019s famously hostile atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Two wins from two would set Liverpool up extremely well, with games against Real Madrid<\/a>, Inter Milan, Marseille, Eintracht Frankfurt, PSV and Qarabag still to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the international break almost behind us, the proper football is back and Liverpool have a lot to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":137945,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,739,561,82],"class_list":["post-137944","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137944","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137944"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137944\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/137945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137944"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137944"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
