Amid the debris of the most horrendous Anfield loss of Arne Slot’s reign, there will no doubt still be those studiously studying the broader circumstances, arguing vehemently that it is a matter of when, not if, Isak will justify his price tag.

It would be useful if those blessed with such expertise could offer a timeline for the rest of us. The spring of 2026, perhaps? Or are we to believe that next August has been circled as a date in the diary for Liverpool’s most expensive ever footballer to show up? Granted, Isak’s “pre-season” conditioning at Liverpool began on September 1. Was it part of the deal that it would continue for at least half the season? Is it reasonable to expect more for £125m? A single Premier League goal before Christmas would be a start. How about the occasional sprint, or attempt to win the ball from a dawdling defender?



Among the many questions around Isak’s minimal contribution to date, one is difficult to shake off: just how unfit did he get when beginning his self-inflicted exile from Newcastle United? The suggestions at the time were that he was training with his former club Real Sociedad. What monstrosity of a health club do they run in the Basque country?

If Isak’s summer camp was limited to occasional jogging, he executed those drills to perfection upon his recall this weekend. No shots on target, no duels or tackles won, and no big chances in his 68 minutes told the sorry tale. Liverpool used to have the ultimate workaholic front line. The only high press Isak has executed since moving to Anfield has kept his club suit looking sharp.

The striker Isak replaced, Darwin Núñez, was castigated for vastly superior performances than this. Núñez lacked general poise and finesse, but flawed as he was you could never take your eyes off him. You would have struggled to notice Isak was on the pitch on Saturday until his number was up.

He was not alone in his minimal contribution. A collective effort has gone into making Isak resemble Christian Benteke in a Liverpool shirt more than Núñez, or the gold standard for recent Liverpool 9s, Roberto Firmino.

The same can be said of the numerous factors which have thus far made Wirtz look more like Nigel Clough in the No 7 jersey, when he was supposed to be Peter Beardsley.

Everything that made Liverpool so good last season has momentarily evaporated, every segment of the pitch compromised. Absenteeism and the forming of new relationships can be an explanation more than an excuse, but where once the players and manager found solutions to setbacks, this season they have consistently panicked when down and transformed perilous positions into dire ones.

The reassurances that it will come good in time will continue. Such is the quality within Slot’s squad, the odds are that eventually it will improve for the team and club as a whole, even if recent arrivals still have to show the shirt is not too heavy for them.

But this was not the plan. Liverpool were meant to be striding powerfully forward from a position of strength, not drifting backwards in readiness for a fresh assault next season.

Tom Werner, the Liverpool chairman, watched the horror of the 3-0 loss to Forest unfold from the directors’ box, no doubt dispatching his private report of the latest abomination to his FSG colleagues.

The appeals for patience – and assurances the dip will not last – can extend for another week.

That cannot change the sobering reality that Liverpool’s owners must be watching the record signings with growing concern that they have put their hands in their pockets and emerged with pieces of fluff rather than gold coins.

Long may this continue.

 

I'm a little worried it's going too badly though, and Snot will get fired and they'll bring in Xabi Alonso, they'll rally behind him and become good again. 

As entertaining as this is, it's all happening a bit too quickly. We needed a more managed and slow decline.

 

As things stand, they'll get rid off Slot before he can do any real lasting damage and get someone in who's somewhat competent, as you said.

Liverpool beating the mackems from a Salah goal and a 1/10 performance from Isak has to be the hope.

If we’re dreaming,  let’s dream big. Amidst much mag-abuse, a hattrick in the first fifteen minutes. Then season ending tackle by Fab’s international mate, who is then banned for the rest of the season.

I was at Anfield last night in the away end in the very last seat before the Anfield Road stand ends next to the main stand so had a great view of how the home fans reacted to this rat and it was interesting!

 

Think they were only 2-1 down when he came on so still very much in the game but it was noticeable that he didn't exactly get much of a welcome from the home fans and whilst he was largely anonymous he miscontrolled a ball coming out the air and it was met with audible groans and shakes of the head. It's fair to say he's not exactly flavour of the month there that's for sure.

Why would Alonso go from Real Madrid to Liverpool? Is he struggling there?

I've just been told by my brother who is a giant Real fan, but apparently some of the players don't want to play for him, including Vini Jr. Been reported in places but I don't know the validity of it. I think it would be bad for us normal people who hate Liverpool if he did end up there.
