Liverpool FC 2025/26 Season

The reason Isak plays of Gyokeres for Sweden is because Gyokeres is a killer in front of goal which Isak is not.

Isak is 26 and has never scored more than 27 goals across competitions in a single season.

Not in a million years would Isak get 120+ G/As in less than 100 matches for Sporting, but Gyokeres would score more goals than Isak in the PL and that will not change now that Isak plays for Liverpool.

Also, let’s not overhype Isak’s all-round play. He is very good, but some of you are acting as if he is Messi. There is nothing special about his all-round play.

Isak is a top player but he is borderline overrated now given the price tag and also the fact that Liverpool fans now think that it’s blasphemy to compare an injury prone twig who has never scored 30+ goals in a season to lethal goal-scorers.

Also, I don’t need your stamps of approval when it comes to football knowledge. I know what I see and I don’t need yours or anyone else’s approval on this forum. You lot can’t see the game properly and are enslaved by your biases.

You wouldn't get my stamp of approval-neither for footy nor mediocre medicine in some random place post 'competitive placing' in med school in Pakistan.

Known as Peshwari Jimmy Hill for a reason bud, although that goes above your head also.

You miss the point (again)...... Isak has a lot more to his game and is asked to do different things- Gyokeres is a lethal finisher but has limited overall play but you try to make a false equivalence and direct comparison-I would have thought the competitive, exclusive Pakistani Medical School would have imparted some key elements of research and how to make appropriate conclusions from data sets and consideration of variables- obviously they didn't.....

Are you sure you live in the UK, and were schooled there? I find it hard to believe given that you cannot construct a coherent sentence to save your life. I have already schooled you over medicine in another thread, so I don't understand why you feel the need to drag the discussion here.

Also, not sure why me being from a provincial capital in Pakistan is a point of mockery. I am proud of my background. I belong to one of the wealthiest families in the region with a rich and proud history. I would take that every day over being a second class citizen in the UK, and having my ancestors sing "God Save the Queen" for the British passports after M. Jinnah liberated them from the same queen.

I'd appreciate if you stick to football discourse.

The notion that Gyokeres is just a goal-scorer with limited all-round play is a narrative rooted in ignorance. It is propagated by people who have not watched him play before he joined Arsenal. This is common for your average ignorant PL fan like yourself who have no clue about football outside the PL or the big leagues to a degree, and therefore, put too much emphasis on "Prem proven" which means absolutely nothing. Some of the best players in the world are not "Prem proven" and they don't need to be.

Here are some fun facts:

Gyokeres has more assists for Sweden than Isak is far less matches.

Over the last two seasons, Gyokeres has more key passes, progressive balls, and successful dribbles than Isak. There goes the rubbish narrative that Isak is "far better at other things". Even if he is and I don't mind giving him extra leeway for playing in a tougher league, the difference is not significant enough to counter the fact that Gyokeres scores way more goals than Isak can ever hope to.

This myth is propagated by people who cannot acknowledge the fact that Gyokeres is a vastly superior #9 because every evidence points in that direction except the mythical "Prem proven" nonsense which means absolutely nothing. Gyokeres is settling into life at Arsenal and so is Isak at Liverpool, and by the end of this season, the myth that Isak is better than Gyokeres will be dead and buried.

It is very clear that Gyokeres is the smarter signing, especially when you consider the fact that Isak has a highly inflated price tag and a dodgy injury record unlike Gyokeres, who has only missed 5 games through injury in his entire career. Gyokeres is a value for money signing but Isak is not.
 
Not a particularly concerning result given the format, you just need to do enough for top 8.

However that's a concerning performance - way too ponderous and sloppy in possession. Too much messing about with the ball at the back. Konate again looked a liability.

That said it was a soft penalty and the ball was barely in play with stoppage after stoppage after stoppage.

Injuries to Alisson and Ekitike tops off a poor night.

Konate looks a huge liability, not signing a CB in summer is now coming back to effect Liverpool.. if you don't fix that issue in January you could fall short in all competitions.

Seems to be an imbalance in your team between defence and attack. You play like vs chelsea you will drop points. Even though they have been indifferent this season
 
Poor performance once again.

Too ponderous and lacked a purpose for long periods.

Early days but a few adjustments are needed, wirtz drops too deep atm, should be playing between the lines but is too deep
 
Wheels well and truly off.

Need to go back to tried and tested players for a while. Robbo and Bradley as full backs with Grav, Macca and Dom in midfield and Gakpo, Ekitike and Salah as front 3. When Isak is 100% fit, move Ekitike out left with Isak as no 9.

Other new players need time on the bench and come on if and when need be.
 
As I mentioned weeks ago, Liverpool have shot themselves in the foot with their transfer business this summer. They made too many changes.

Signing both Isak and Ekitike was not required. You can’t fit in both, and the end result will be you’ll make both players unhappy. Wirtz is also the wrong fit for the club.

The good news for Liverpool and perhaps the most important news is that neither Arsenal nor City are good enough to capitalize this season, so Liverpool should still win the league.
 
Chat GPT's finest LOL.
It’s called a footballing lesson which you have failed to counter. I don’t use Chat GPT, it’s for people like you with broken English who can’t string coherent sentences together and therefore, lack the intellectual capacity to engage in articulate discourse.

Haha, sure it is.... your use of AI is very good, broken English? I think if they allowed the use of AI with the PLAB, you could make it out of mediocrity but keep at that mediocre level.

Counter? Counter AI- what is the need? From someone who stated week 3- Arsenal on course, then within 2 weeks, Arsenal will never win anything- this is 1 example out of countless others Peshwari Jimmy Hill, then you talk of countering! Stick to video games!

I might trigger my vertigo reading this incoherent word salad. Please use Chat GPT more often my guy. Your English is a joke.

As i said, if they allowed AI, you could have another go at the PLAB. You are trying too hard with the thesaurus....
