His numbers are only matched by Haaland (and Salah, who's not a striker), but playing for a somewhat weaker team. It's like being "not convinced" that water is wet.

Not trying to be a dick but I was having this conversation with a friend…..is water wet??

He argued Isn’t water just water and whatever it touches becomes wet? It was a bit of a head f**k!

Water isn't wet. If you dip your hand in water, your hand is wet not the water. It's like saying fire is burned

Anyway, don't know about others but I absolutely still stand by my comments that at the start of the season Nicolas Jackson was a better player than Isak. I prefer to make opinions based on evidence rather than stubborn feelings. Jackson has obviously hit his ceiling and Isak has proved to be much better, but many of the same issues - drifts in and out of games, dribbles like Bambi on ice, first touch of an elephant with his back to goal - still remain concerns about Isak. That said, he'll score a mountain of goals at Liverpool if he plays a similar role to Mane and feeds at the back post.

exactly on the water front, as far as Isak and Jackson goes. Isak is fire….jackson is just wet.

Such a lack of quality no 9’s about, the money being talked about for Isak is crazy and we should get a tidy sum for Jackson.

This is why Delaps release clause looks a no brainer.

Jackson is just as good and probably better in the long run. . . .Well, can we get back to this in 5 years time? The long run.

I am very happy for Chelsea to move Jackson along. I am still not that convinced by Isak.

Are you expecting Isak to be run over by a bus in the next 6 months or taken out by the Gordie mafia?

Liverpool’s initial bid of £120m rejected. Deal still expected to happen.

Liverpool fans awful quiet now on our spending…

Crazy all these players Liverpool have managed to sign with that Coutinho money…

Think it was a Ford Galaxy - not a bus....

Yes, Liverpool and its £120m plus add ons. Chelsea and its Mudryk at £88m inclusive of add ons. Hmm

Always this. Every transfer. Same with Caicedo and Wirtz fee comparisons. BBC is the worst for it!

@Sconnie Blue they’ve done ever so well with that Coutinho sale!!! I’ve heard those funds will last through 2030
