Liverpool, England – Alexander Isak don enter wahala wey no be small since e join Liverpool FC for a whopping £125 million from Newcastle. Na the most expensive transfer in di Premier League history, but wetin we dey see? E don only score one goal, and dat one na for Carabao Cup!
Last weekend, na 3-0 loss gatz Nottingham Forest, and Isak touch di ball just 15 times. My guy, e no even follow the ball well! (E fit dey collect fresh air sef). Dis na di first time since 1906 wetin Liverpool player don experience dis kind wahala wit losing four league starts back-to-back.
Coach Arne Slot dey face odyssey with di team wey don flop like say dem dey use eba to play ball. Dem don lose six outta di last seven matches, and Isak’s poor performance dey add more wahala to di matter. People dey wonder if im go fit regain im form after missing pre-season training – all in di name of forcing im way out of Newcastle.
Slot don talk say Isak go need minutes to get back to 100 percent, but how e wan take gyara di team fit around im? Hugo Ekitike wey don shine like diamond since him join naargu to take lead while Isak dey struggle. Eno fit chop bench forever o!
Dis matter no wan change, as Liverpool still dey look for structure and tactics wey go fit accommodate both Ekitike and Isak. They are similar players, but something dey miss when dem dey try to play together. Talk say dem go need proper training and understanding on di pitch, and for now, e no dey happen.
With each passing game, pressure dey dey mount on Isak and di management, and dem sabi say dem no fit afford to be passenger for di midfield (we no be going on holiday o!). As things stand, Liverpool dey try to balance wetin dey good for Isak and di team, especially as him injury history dey cause more drama.
As dem dey prepare for upcoming fixtures, if Isak no fit start to score goals like wetin dem expect, we go fit see Slot pack im bags. But make we dey hope say Isak fit rise from di ashes like phoenix – because na di only way dem go cool down di critics wey dey wait to see wetin go happen next!
