After a high-profile summer move from Newcastle United, Isak’s time at Anfield hasn’t exactly gone as expected. The Swedish striker, signed in a record-breaking deal, has only managed one goal and one assist in six appearances so far — numbers that have sparked both debate and concern among the Liverpool faithful.

“He’s Ready to Be Judged Now” – Slot Speaks Out 🎙️

Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of the showdown with Manchester United, Slot offered a firm update on Isak’s fitness and expectations:

> “Alexander Isak has now had around five or six weeks of full preparation,” Slot said. “Physically, he’s almost where we need him to be. From this point on, we can assess his performances fairly.”

It’s a statement that signals the beginning of a new phase for Liverpool’s £125 million signing — one where excuses about fitness and adaptation will no longer apply.

Pressure Mounts on Liverpool’s Record Signing 💰

There’s no hiding from the spotlight. Isak arrived amid huge expectations, and the pressure has only intensified thanks to Hugo Ekitike’s impressive form since joining from Eintracht Frankfurt. Many believe Slot may soon face a tough decision on who should lead the line.

Behind the scenes, the coaching staff insist Isak’s work ethic has been strong and that his breakthrough moment is “coming soon.” Still, the Anfield crowd will be eager to see more tangible results — starting this weekend.

A Crucial Test Awaits ⚽

With Liverpool set to face Manchester United in a fixture that always delivers drama, Isak’s performance could be pivotal. A goal or two in this high-voltage encounter would not only silence critics but also cement his place in the hearts of the Kop faithful.

Slot’s message couldn’t be clearer:

> “He’s ready. Now it’s time to deliver.”

The stage is set. The pressure is real. And for Alexander Isak, Anfield expects. 🔴🔥
