Why Alexander Isak went on his knees in response to Mo Salah’s deeds against Manchester United.

Alexander Isak and his Liverpool teammates were startled by Mo Salah’s miss.

Florian Wirtz grabbed his mouth with amazement.

Alexander Isak, his fellow summer recruit, was seen falling to his knees in slow motion.

Mo Salah, a great Liverpool player, lost a golden opportunity against Senne Lammens in the second half.

Sky Sports film shows the number 11 receive the ball just beyond the six-yard box, fully unmarked in a large expanse, before firing it off-target into the stands.

To be sure, Salah is not the only Liverpool forward who appears to have lost his scoring touch.

Both Isak and Cody Gakpo have squandered clear goal-scoring opportunities around halftime.

Liverpool’s strikers disappointed Arne Slot at Anfield.

No matter how you look at it, a 2-1 loss at home to Manchester United, particularly THIS Manchester United, is simply unacceptable.

The fact that we had an international break to dwell on a three-game losing skid adds to the gravity of the issue.

In previous seasons, Liverpool could always count on one or two forwards to turn chances into goals.

However, it looks that every forward at Arne Slot’s disposal is hampered by chronic inefficiency, which may overshadow Liverpool’s defensive woes on the other end of the pitch.

We should have claimed the majority of the points, as the data suggested we deserved them.

However, we cannot continue to rely on statistics, match after match, to explain why the final product and, ultimately, the outcomes do not match expectations.

Disappointed once more.
