Alexander Isak has admitted he is struggling to explain his slow start at Liverpool after a £125m move from Newcastle, with just two goals in 15 games as the defending champions sit ninth in the Premier League and battle stuttering form. Isak says there is no simple answer, stressing that dips are part of a career and that both he and the team must “fight” their way out of it. He accepts the transition has been slower than hoped but leans on experience, focusing on balance and consistency.

Hamann Tips Liverpool To Consider Isak Sale To Barcelona In 2026

Dietmar Hamann believes Liverpool may consider selling record signing Alexander Isak to Barcelona in summer 2026 if his underwhelming form persists, with the £125m striker managing just two goals in 15 appearances after arriving in a blockbuster 2025 window alongside Florian Wirtz. Hamann suggests Isak’s future will depend on Hugo Ekitike’s development and how Liverpool’s attack settles, arguing that the Swede’s proven quality at Newcastle ensures strong interest from Europe’s elite, while Wirtz’s long-term role under Arne Slot will also be scrutinised if big bids arrive.

Arne Slot has moved to calm concern over Alexander Isak’s slow start at Liverpool, arguing that the £125 million striker should not be judged purely on goals after an injury-disrupted first spell and limited service, despite scoring only once in all competitions so far. Slot pointed to the modern reality that elite No.9s rarely get constant clear chances and insisted Liverpool must supply Isak better in key zones. He contrasted Isak with Erling Haaland, saying touches must come at the right moments, and called for collective improvement rather than blaming the forward.

Liverpool are weighing a move for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga despite his contract running to 2029, as Arne Slot pushes for another rebuild after a disastrous start that has followed a £450m summer spree on Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak and new full-backs. Camavinga has been monitored as Wirtz struggles to adapt, Isak endures scrutiny over his controversial switch from Newcastle, and defensive reinforcements Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez battle inconsistency, leaving Liverpool unsure Slot can stabilise a title defence already rocked by nine defeats in twelve games.

Slot “almost confused” by Liverpool’s league collapse

Arne Slot admitted he is “almost confused” by Liverpool’s disastrous Premier League run, with the defending champions losing six of their last seven league games and sitting in the bottom half despite heavy summer investment and three wins from four in a strong Champions League campaign. Pointing to big-money arrivals such as Isak, Wirtz, Ekitike, Kerkez and Frimpong, Slot insisted the squad has enough quality and noted recent European victories over Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt. However, he conceded that “far too many games” have been lost domestically and that he has yet to “find a winning way” in the league.

Liverpool thrashed by PSV as Ekitike injury deepens crisis

November 2025

Liverpool’s season hit a new low with a 4-1 home defeat to PSV, marking nine losses in their last 12 games and dragging them down to 13th in the Champions League standings. Goals from Ivan Perisic, Guus Til and a Couhaib Driouech brace exposed a fragile, disjointed defence. Slot’s rotated side never settled, and the night worsened when in-form summer signing Hugo Ekitike limped off just after the hour, forcing the underperforming Alexander Isak into another goalless appearance. The Sweden striker’s ongoing drought and the team’s collapsing form will intensify scrutiny on Slot’s selections and ability to halt the slide.

Isak has reportedly spent around £30,000 on a highly trained Doberman protection dog to safeguard his family after online death threats linked to Sweden’s disastrous qualifying campaign and the backlash over his forced move from Newcastle to Liverpool. The forward, who went on strike to push through a British-record transfer, is said to view the protection dog as part of settling safely on Merseyside under intense scrutiny, with sources describing the animal as both a powerful guardian and calm family companion.

Alexander Isak reflected on a difficult few months since his 125 million pound move to Liverpool, explaining that a disrupted pre season, time training alone to force the transfer and a groin injury have all contributed to his failure so far to score a Premier League goal. After a late substitute appearance for Sweden, he said his body reacted well but he is not yet at full sharpness, stressing he will not use setbacks as an excuse and is focused on contributing again against Slovenia as experience helps him handle frustration and rebuild confidence.

Amanda Staveley said she and Mehrdad Ghodoussi still love Alexander Isak despite the way he forced a record transfer from Newcastle to Liverpool, backing him to recover sharpness after a disrupted pre season and slow start that has produced just one Carabao Cup goal so far. She praised Newcastle’s current attack, said Profit and Sustainability Rules are helpful for fair competition and claimed the club navigated them well, insisting Newcastle can still progress in the Premier League and Champions League while Liverpool enjoy an outstanding forward once Isak’s fitness and rhythm fully return.

Isak’s slow start triggers criticism amid Liverpool slide

lexander Isak has one goal in eight games since a £125m move, drawing criticism for low menace despite visible work rate. An injury kept him out versus Brentford, compounding a four-match league skid. The right-side chemistry shift post-arrivals has blunted Liverpool’s attack, with shots, on-target rate and box touches trailing last year’s benchmarks. Fixes: define zone 14/half-space priority for Isak, simplify service patterns, and stage minutes to build rhythm. Consider staggered rotations that re-establish a consistent right-channel pairing and targeted set-piece routines to boost early-xG looks. Medical staff must clear load progression post-injury. Slot needs clearer pressing triggers to restore turnovers high and relieve sterile possession.
