Liverpool Fans Lose It as Jaw-Dropping Alexander Isak Statistic Explodes Online After West Ham Goal
A stunning statistic from Alexander Isak’s 2024/25 campaign has surfaced — and it could completely reshape how Liverpool fans currently judge him. The ex-Newcastle forward fired in 27 goals across all competitions last season before Liverpool secured him for a British-record £125 million. But to say his debut season at Anfield has misfired so far would be an understatement.
He finally netted his first Premier League goal of the season last weekend, yet his overall sharpness, movement, and link-up play have fallen well short of what Arne Slot and his staff expected from such a blockbuster signing. As things stand, he’s being labelled one of the worst Premier League signings of the season — a tag that has heavily contributed to Liverpool’s stuttering title defence.
However, a newly uncovered stat is now offering fans a dose of relief — and a reason to be more patient.
Whether he’s still regaining rhythm after his injury at Newcastle, struggling to adapt to Slot’s system, or simply not receiving enough service from a misfiring supporting cast, the debate over Isak’s slow start has been endless. But what many forget is this: at this exact point last season, the Swedish striker had scored just four goals. Just like Harry Kane — famous for sluggish starts — Isak might simply be another slow burner.
The revelation has triggered a huge reaction online. One fan on X wrote: “Told you he’s just warming up.” Another added: “People aren’t ready for what he’s about to unleash.” A third replied: “Feels unreal — can’t believe he scored that many after January.” Meanwhile, another supporter said: “I believe in him like crazy.”
It’s this kind of stat that should remind everyone that Slot’s second-phase Liverpool hasn’t truly clicked yet — but that doesn’t mean it won’t, or that it won’t be just as lethal as the title-winning version from a few months ago.
Liverpool’s recent 2–0 victory over West Ham showed a harsh truth: their best players can’t all flourish at the same time. Salah was dropped, and that allowed Florian Wirtz to shine as the central figure in almost every attacking move.
Slot’s next challenge is obvious — making Isak a vital component of his system. Last season, Liverpool revolved around Salah’s goals, but with the club preparing for a future beyond the Egyptian King, building the team around Isak and Wirtz may be the smartest path forward.
Isak is at his best when the attack runs through him — feed him the ball, and he creates. That simply hasn’t happened often enough yet. But with Salah heading to AFCON on December 15 and having already been benched twice in a row, the door is now wide open for Isak to step up and take control.
