Tiresias Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 The problem is he was such a calm finisher he never really had competition here, Ekitike and Salah and others at Liverpool are good finishers, he's behind Ekitike in the pecking order as Ekitke has been scoring for fun while he was getting back fitness. I am sure he will score plenty of goals for liverpool but think he'll struggle to be be not the main man relied upon but an option. Hope he sulks and fucks it all up.

wyn davies Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 I wonder if due to them enquiring about him, followed by him going on strike, placed Bin Dippers in a position where they had to go ahead with the transfer regardless whether really wanted him or not to save face.

SiLvOR Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 Be class if he reverts to the sort of form he was in before we signed him, when everyone mocked us for spending all that money in the first place. Carroll MK2 please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wilson had better numbers than him that first season with us. Don't think he was particularly happy about not being the main man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekitike is younger. I wanted Ekitike to fail but now I take delight in him outperforming the rat. Would love there to be some tension at that horrible club this season.

Absolutely not, they wouldn't have thought twice about fucking the whole thing off for any completely spurious reason they were shameless enough to come up with, once the damage was done between him and the fans here. They definitely wanted him I reckon Edited September 28, 2025 by OpenC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 Did Liverpool spend £130,000,000 to save face? Cant rule it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 They needed two strikers in the summer and the two they got were number 1 and 2 on the list. No point in disputing that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 13 hours ago, Civetty said: Think he'll do better against better opposition annoyingly, his worst kind of games have always been when the team he is in is the one with a lot of possession, with us and before us. When he gets to counter or given more space he'll be deadly as usual. Much though I'd love him to fail, I can't get out of my head that he destroyed just about all of the top defenders in the Premier. Arsenal were terrified of him, and seems to me Virgil van Dyke was on a longstanding mission to get him to Liverpool after getting mugged by him regularly in the Newcastle/Liverpool games. He's still one of the best strikers, but hopefully he'll not fit Liverpool's system and they'll get tired of his play when he can be arsed attitude.

They wanted 2 strikers to replace Jota and Nunez. Although the 2 they have now will be harder to placate when only one can play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 Was listening to some Liverpool content where they were saying he looked spent at the 60 mins mark because he had no pre season. They'll soon learn Ekitike taking off his shirt and missing the game yesterday might have been a masterstroke. Led to their first loss and there's now a growing crowd of their fans saying Ekitike is better Ekitike does appear to be more suited to going up against low blocks as he is just more active and finds more spaces to go into to get on the ball and make things happen. He's also more aggressive and stronger on the ball holding off defenders under tight pressure. Interesting situation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurentRobert Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 Liverpool fans in their forums have also convinced themselves that his form is down to him "clearly not being match fit" Lads it's nearly October. Sounds very reminiscent of our diagnosis that he must be carrying an injury to explain his dogshit performances 2nd half of last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His workrate in the last few games especially was awful and it almost cost us CL qualification. Unfortunately he'll probably come good once he gains fitness. He'll be busting a gut more then.

Stottie Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 Any eScousers out there disappointed in Isak can at least go on the Guardian and read a hit piece by one of their resident mackems about how selling Isak has left NUFC as a "diminished entity". So LFC might not have hit the bullseye by paying a British record fee for someone who's not hit the ground running, he's not even fit, but you can still laff at them Geordies who are in shit creek because some purple prose in the Guardian says so.

nufcjmc Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 Aint watched him and dont want to defend him hope he goes back to the form of his days elsewhere and is a flop but wonder if right now this early into the season if these sorts of performances are more rust etc like its the 3rd game of preseason. Hope its more they dont setup to play to his strengths which highlight his weaknesses which let's be fair although he was world class for us he wasn't the total package and had flaws. Even if he did fail they would get bailed out like with Darwin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
