The Swede had built a reputation at Newcastle for being one of the most lethal finishers in the game, as evidenced by his tally of 54 league goals in 86 matches at St James’ Park.

But the 26-year-old has failed to deliver since arriving at Anfield. After scoring against Southampton in the Carabao Cup, goals have dried up for Isak, who is yet to find the back of the net since September.

Those same struggles persisted on Saturday against Forest. Chances were scarce for the 26-year-old, who managed just one shot on goal and 14 touches before he was eventually withdrawn in the 68th minute for Federico Chiesa.

And yet another defeat for Liverpool means that Isak has tasted just one Premier League victory at Anfield since joining the club. That came all the way back in September during their 2-1 win against Everton in the Merseyside derby.

Since then, the forward has lost all four games where he has started for the Reds. According to Michael Reid, that makes him the first player to do so since Percy Saul managed the same accomplishment all the way back in 1906.

Considering that he’s believed to be one of the best strikers in the world, some supporters have been left shocked that a player of Isak’s calibre has managed to equal a century-old record like the above. Rival fans have been quick to mock his struggles, with one writing: “More than a century in the making… generational stat.”

Another fan couldn’t hide their disbelief, saying: “This is such a ridiculous stat. I love it.” And that was echoed by a fellow rival, who said: “That is genuinely insane.”One more added: “That’s why you pay top dollars for generational talent like him, to break records.” And a final supporter said that Isak’s struggles summed up how most of Liverpool’s new signings were faring, writing: “[Hugo] Ekitike is the only signing they made that has worked out in some capacity so far.”
