This is where many thought that Isak would come into his own and prove why Liverpool chose to spend £125million on him, but instead, he was met with ridicule from Palace’s fans, who chanted that he was a “waste of money” for Liverpool.
“Isak is replaced by Nguomha, and with Crystal Palace still 1-0 up,” he wrote.
“The home fans choose to chant ‘what a waste of money’ to #LFC record signing who had a couple of good chances but, ultimately, had a frustrating afternoon.”
Throughout the entire summer transfer window, it was clear that Liverpool wanted to sign Isak before the season kicked off.
As mentioned, Ekitike has been a shining light for Liverpool, and even though he was only suspended for Saturday’s game, it was clear how much Slot missed him.

At the moment, it feels silly for Liverpool to have broken the British record transfer fee to sign Isak, especially with the multiple chances he missed against Oliver Glasner’s men.
