Alexander Isak unceremoniously became the first Liverpool player in Premier League history to lose his first four starts with the club.
The Swede was largely anonymous in a 3–0 loss to Nottingham Forest on Saturday at Anfield. He logged just 14 touches of the ball, was dispossessed twice and failed to register a shot on target. Isak came off in the 68th minute as the lowest rated player (5.5), per . Less than ideal for the most expensive player in Premier League history.
Across nine appearances for the Reds in all competitions, Isak has failed to find the back of the net in the English top-flight and Champions League. His lone goal came back on Sept. 23 in a Carabao Cup third round tie against Southampton.
The result also marked Liverpool’s sixth loss in their last seven league games as the champions could find themselves 11 points adrift of Arsenal after the north London derby.
