Sorry, am I the only one that believes that Isak has made the worse mistake of his career. Dude would have been faithful with his team just after this season or his contract expires. This karma is so fast.
This stat I saw above does not in any way representate Isak. Something is seriously wrong and might not go well any sooner.
Rate Isak...

Permit me to say that this judgment is coming too fast, moreover I don't even see anything wrong with his permeance but the truth is we can't compare his performance when he was still playing for newcastle and that of liverpool. But we can't possibly see that as a mistake because he made it clear during the transfer window that liverpool is the only club, this made him turn down alot of proposal which manchester united also make attempt but he only Stick to his decision that he want liverpool so since he's not forced to go there I'm sure that he's not regretting. If the club find out that he's becoming a liability to them then they can decide to do whatever.

[EL MOHA]

Both teams did play an impressive game, especially Manchester united who almost everyone has already resigned to having another poor performance and a loss. Salah did have some good opportunities to score that would have likely gave Liverpool the win in the end. I had predicted both teams having a goal but like plenty other people, didn't think United had it in them to win the game. Liverpool did have lots of opportunities for goals as they had more time with the ball.
It was a great game as with United's win, they've ignited the fire back in their supporters. An impressive performance for United to manage to put one in at the end to seal their win.

It was an end to end entertain football I don’t for the past 5 years or season we have enjoyed that kind of premier league classical between this two at Anfield, in the past seasons this would have actually been a slaughter of Manchester United with the likes of Salah getting as enough as they can grab but this was really different. For most part of the game I was impressed by Manchester United if there was actually anything that Amorim told them it did work most especially in the first half of the game as Manchester United were comfortable finding spaces in that Liverpool defense.

Just like you many had rule out Manchester United even bookmakers were actually giving them as high as five odds because seriously most boxes weren’t ticking for them to win this game, many would have actually said they got lucky because the of the bars that Gakpo was hitting, Salah and Isak missed chances but let’s be honest United did curved out their own luck in this game. I was seriously thinking that Manchester United will suffer in this game because of their midfield but Casemiro was class, hopefully he isn’t out for long and returns early because seriously without him this team will suffer.

For Arne slot I think it is time he actually stops playing Salah as an out and out striker and let him be the pointed man once again, Salah is lost in this new role of his, Liverpool only attacking threat was Gakpo

Some players are best left where they're Kings and not try to change their environment or move them to a bigger club. Not everyone does well at bigger clubs I remember Benteke and Carroll making the same big more come from Aston Villa and Newcastle United respectively to Liverpool and flopped.

I'm not going to criticize Isak as it's too early to do so but I'm not convinced yet and it's hard to defend him right now.

Even floran wirtz too, dude is on 0010 track and am sure Liverpool fans would have already started saying something bad about him....I still see him as a fine player and he will need alot of time to adapt to his current environment.

[Stable090]

Manchester United are already leading by one goal at the beginning of the game. They are playing relatively well today. In football matches, surprises can come at any time, so it is not possible to say in advance which team can win. However, the players of both Manchester United and Liverpool are working hard to snatch victory, but it is not possible to say which team will win yet.

Manchester United were able to secure a win today, honestly I never expected it, I never believed Manchester United will be able to win Liverpool today, I don’t really know what’s wrong with Liverpool right now, even as Manchester united performance has been bad, Liverpool couldn’t still get a win against them, they conceded a late minute goal just the way they did against chelsea.

Liverpool is the team which I was thinking will be winning the premier league this season, but from the look of things, Liverpool won’t be able to win the trophy this season, slot needs to work on the team, Liverpool has a horrible defense which they are suppose to work on, their opponents are always finding it easy to penetrate which is making them concede easily in matches.

Well It's true that we can't judge his performance too harshly, especially considering his commitment to the club. Comparing his performances at Newcastle and Liverpool might not be entirely fair, given the different environments and expectations.

He turned down other offers, including Manchester United's, to join Liverpool, showing his commitment to the club.

[Juse14]

Liverpool, you're breaking my heart. Don't lose against these lot.

They ended up doing that! So heartbreaking, Liverpool now has serious problem this is a small dip in form any longer they need to get their shits together. I’m not sure even Man United fans would have predicted a win against Liverpool, it’s very shocking to see this score line and 5 odds gone to waste.
When Manchester United won against Sunderland we all thought it was a fluke but now it seems they’re going really coming back in form cause they played so well against Liverpool and got the most important 3 points, Arsenal is sitting pretty at the top now, happy for this results.

Finally, Ruben Amorim can breathe a sigh of relief, as this victory ensures he will remain at Old Trafford. However, it remains to be seen how he can maintain his team's performance and consistency in upcoming matches. After all, Manchester United's only hope lies in the EPL.

For Liverpool, this defeat is a major blow for the coach, Arne Slot, who has spent a significant amount of money preparing for this season, but the results they have achieved are far from what was expected. Three consecutive defeats, not to mention the loss they suffered in the UCL.

Returning to Manchester United, it seems they have found the right player to defend their last line of defense. S. Lammens has been outstanding in the last two matches with crucial saves, and if the goalkeeper against Liverpool had not been Lammens, the Red Devils might have lost this match.

[AGogi2003]

What is the real problem with Liverpool ? They have a very strong squad. The players in the squad are talented. Liverpool also has an experienced coach like Arne slot. But even  then the team is not able to play well. Perhaps  Arne slot's match strategy is outdated. And this strategy  is not working in the premier league. And this is why the team has faced three consecutive defeats.
iverpool is 4  points behind Arsenal. And they are 1 point behind City. City performed very poorly at the beginning of the season. But at the moment the team is in good form. On the other hand , Liverpool did well at the beginning  of the season, but now they have lost the truck

Liverpool need to buy some new defenders because that is the place I think Liverpool are lacking this season because if they can have a better defenders I don't think they will be struggling too much look the way Manchester United defeated them in the match. Liverpool performance was not really bad is just that they don't have the opportunity to win the making Gakpo miss many chances that will lead to goals. All the attack Manchester United have they didn't misuse it they turn it to a goals. if Liverpool have better defenders I don't think he will be easy for man-u to break there defense.

Liverpool are facing Frankfurt in there next game in the Champions League and they need to win the game because they lost there last game in the ucl. Slot really need to change is tactics because I notice that isak as not help the club yet still struggling, he should have stay in the Newcastle in my opinion and he will still be doing very good in the club.

It's hard to defend him now and I also agree that it is too early also to write him off. Some players are better left where they are king rather than trying to change their environment. But in the case of Isak, he choosed by himself even against their wish of his former club Newcastle.

While mentioning Carol and Christian Benteke, you should also know that their cases are not that different from that of Coutinho and Hazard. Those guys were lords in their club until they chosed a new challenge.

Their mentality has dropped dramatically now with the conditions that occur and it is clearly not too good for the future for Liverpool if Slot still cannot improve the existing scheme.

Until now Liverpool's game pattern is actually not too bad where they have also slowly tried to fix the chemistry but on the one hand the instincts of the players are still not back especially for them new players. Isak and Wirtz, who this season are expected to be the cornerstone, still cannot really give the hope that Liverpool should be able to get even though they have invested a lot here.
I would say that they are still in the process of adaptation but in the end for players with quite expensive prices like these two players of course we expect something faster because after all they have to show the capacity according to the price they have.

Liverpool 1 Vs Manchester United 2 FT
Salah lost it this time around as he failed to score against the EPL team his scored most goals against. He has made 18 appearances including this very game and scored 16 times against them so far. Salah would have gotten his goal in the first half but he was denied by the woodwork and again in the second half, but he blasted the shot away inches wide after been presented with a chance to try and turn it in. It was a nice game overall and both teams played impressively.

Currently, Liverpool is in its worst period under coach Arne Slot, with 4 consecutive losses, and most disappointingly, a loss to Manchester United, a team that has been very down in recent years and Liverpool's biggest rival, and Liverpool was even playing at home.

It is really very hard to point out that this is where Liverpool problems are coming from, because I feel all the Liverpool angle are playing well. So, as for me, it sometimes out to point out maybe it is defence or their front that is not playing well, but all I can say is maybe it is not just working out for them, because that is how football do work sometimes. Manchester City faced some challenges last season, and it is not because they did not have quality players  their squad was really better than teams that did better than them last season  but people were just pointing out to some point that it is not in the squad. But what I just under in football is that there are always some seasons things will just look anyhow for them, and not because they don't have better players. So, this season, Liverpool with this kind of challenges  I am not much surprised because it can come up anytime. The thing is, it will just look like maybe their players are not in their best form. Let's just hope they will get back soon.

[Africolo]

How would you know if you don’t move. Well, this decision could have been better left with the players, but hat they are enjoying should have been enough to make them stay but, the quest for trophy and more glory I. Order leagues do make them move. Isak was good at Newcastle United but, drew his lot with Liverpool and it’s not been been what he thought I suppose.

Some players are systematic players and once taken way from the tactics they're used to, they usually struggles to survive somewhere new I can't say Isak is one but he's proving to be one since he arrived at Liverpool. Alot was spent on him and much is expected.

We saw Hazard move to Real Madrid, he didn’t do so well with the injury problems but he got the desired UCL trophy. Harry Kane is one player that is enjoying every bit of his move.

Two different scenarios; one struggled with injuries throughout his Real Madrid and in a total new environment too while the other is PL proven who moved to another premier league club.

[Localhostspeed]

All the attack Manchester United have they didn't misuse it they turn it to a goals. if Liverpool have better defenders I don't think he will be easy for man-u to break there defense.

Liverpool are facing Frankfurt in there next game in the Champions League and they need to win the game because they lost there last game in the ucl. Slot really need to change is tactics because I notice that isak as not help the club yet still struggling, he should have stay in the Newcastle in my opinion and he will still be doing very good in the club.

They thought having the Premier League was all about Salah, they kept him and decide to allow other players that are free to go to another place. The kind gesture that was given to Salah could have been extended to other players but what did they do back then, they allowed them to leave not knowing that with good back lines, your days in the Premier League will be outnumbered, they thought Manchester United was a joke to them but it wasn't.

This was how they thought Galatasaray wasn't going to be a threat but in the end the game didn't favour them. They now have 4 loss in a row in their last 4 games. If they play with Frankfurt in the Champions League and lose again, then I can say they are not fit to win the Premier League or the Champions League, this signs are not sign of a player that can win the Premier League, meanwhile Arsenal is looking all fresh up until they lose that place soon.

Sometimes a player faces pressure that can affect their performance, as I saw when Isak faced intense pressure to perform well in every match and become Liverpool's mainstay.
Subconsciously, the player was under intense pressure to be the best and was constantly pushed to impress, but he struggled to achieve great results.
Joining a big club seems promising, but sometimes it can be disastrous for a career.

whatever adapting he is doing, he better do it fast, because he wasn't brought to Liverpool for him to take forever to adapt to the league. From experience players that will do well in the league starts immediately to show what they have got. I wonder what's going on at Liverpool that all the players they got in the summer are needing time to adapt.  All are waiting till eternity before they hit the ground running, which I think won't be any good to the club.

The new striker have failed to make any impression and he was signed for huge amount of fee, this is never the hype we expect from such player. Who doesn't know that the name "Alexander Isak" do ring a bell. He was suppose to be a striker that will deliver Liverpool in crucial games like facing Manchester United today at Anfield, they couldn't even buckled a draw points but instead settle for losses.

I'm to blame Arne Slot for this defeats, why repeating same line-up that face Chelsea and lose at Stamford Bridge again against Manchester united. This is exceptionally unbelievable because the Red Devils hve been hangng around since 2016 and today, they break the barrier. Once again, Alexander Isak is currently consider as a flop in Liverpool frontline, I don't think the club will continue to cope with the Swedish player, more challenges he faces been playing as top nine for Liverpool.

Liverpool can't beat Manchester United; they're going through their worst period of late. It's unbecoming of Liverpool to beat a team as in-form as Manchester United. They also had three shots that hit the post. At Manchester United, Altay Bayındır was on the bench, and Ruben Amorim gave him multiple chances, and it looks like he'll be on the bench now. I don't think Liverpool played badly, they were just on a bad day, so many goals were conceded. Gakpo's misses, along with those of other players, were quite high.

Rate Isak...

To be honest, I believe the player made serious mistakes by joining Liverpool because he has failed to reach up to the team and fans expectations, missing almost two big chances against Manchester United. He has yet to score or assist since joining the team, but Nick Woltemade has five goals in all competitions since joining Newscasle. Arne Slot may have starts Ekitike instead of Isak since he can create more chances.

However, I expected Arne Slot to make a quick substitute in the first minutes of the second half, as Salah and Isak were wasting many opportunities. Liverpool could have scored three goals tonight, but they were just missing the opportunity. We do not see the best Moh Salah after he signed a contract extension with Liverpool, this isn't the Salah we saw at the start of last season. They need to sign a winger capable of benching Salah.

[TelolettOm]

Manchester United’s dominance over Liverpool today shouldn’t come at much surprise, Liverpool aren’t at their best.

Liverpool boasts a wealth of top players, even key players from several clubs previously known to Liverpool, yet they've lost three times in a row. This is a huge challenge for Arne Slott to get the entire squad, both old and new, fully optimized.

Even Liverpool losing to Manchester United, a club often ridiculed, is truly embarrassing. This time, the Premier League is quite different. Manchester City is back on track and finished runner-up to Arsenal. Meanwhile, Liverpool has fallen to fourth place, and Manchester United has climbed to ninth after two consecutive wins.

Source: Manchester City are second on the Premier League table with 8 games played.

Joining a big club seems promising, but sometimes it can be disastrous for a career.

Yes, there are already similar cases like Isak on football, like Mbappe when he first played for Madrid, and Gyokeres, which is not the same when he plays on Sporting. Isak, who played well at Newcastle, can't help Liverpool recover from defeat. We admit that MU played well last night, Amad Diallo and Bruno played well to destroy Liverpool's defense. Amorim knows very well how to hold the winning streak so that makes Isak and Salah desperate to make equalize the score. This is a big surprise for MU the team that is always underestimated by fans.
