Isak was heavily criticized by Liverpool fans

Striker Alexander Isak became the focus of criticism from Liverpool fans after his poor performance in the 5-1 win over Frankfurt in the Champions League early on October 23.

Despite being trusted by coach Arne Slot to start, the record £150 million signing only played 45 minutes before being substituted at the beginning of the second half to make way for Federico Chiesa. This was considered a necessary decision in the context of Isak almost "disappearing" in the "Red Brigade" attack.

The post-match statistics show Isak’s alarming decline: 45 minutes of play, 0 goals, 0 assists, 2 shots, no passes that created scoring opportunities. In addition, Isak only made 6 accurate passes and had a 0% success rate in dribbling and duels with opponents.

This poor form continues Isak's disappointing run since joining Liverpool, when he has scored just one goal in all competitions. The record price tag and huge expectations are becoming a burden for the 25-year-old striker.

After the game, social media was flooded with sarcastic comments from Liverpool fans. One user wrote: “£150 million for a player who moves less than my grandmother’s sofa!” Another said: “A goal in how many games? The most disappointing signing of the season.”

If he doesn't improve his form soon, Isak risks losing his place in coach Arne Slot's squad, especially when new players like Chiesa are showing more enthusiasm and efficiency.
