I miss Darwin's defensive contributions.

Lol. We could use a bit of Darwin's fire and brimstone right now. :D

It was a ridiculous decision to ship him off to Saudi to sign Isak, who would never play for us.
May he find in his heart to forgive us. He literally cried out and didn't want to leave.
He had a passion we associate with our Reds. The day we let him go, I knew our club was going to slide in a downward trajectory. I didn't expect it to be this soon.

He started 8 Premier League games last season, scoring 5 times. He was hardly the beating heart of the team.
23 Mar 2026 07:00:29
His work ethic is fantastic and he would run through a brick wall but as a number 9, his finishing is below the standard required. You can't have passengers in the Premier League no matter how hard they try or how much you like them. Shame we don't have anyone with his intensity, but he was bought to score goals and didn't do that enough.

Everyone was skating him last season. He wasn't even good and Slot didn't rate him. Yes, he worked tirelessly and we could do with that pace and energy upfront, but Nunez isn't the answer. The lad is being dropped on the Saudi league for crying out loud.
23 Mar 2026 07:31:05
We still banging on about Nunez?! Dear me.
23 Mar 2026 07:43:33
Isak suffered a bad injury, you can't legislate for that.
23 Mar 2026 08:45:52
Is Isak the new whipping boy now?
23 Mar 2026 08:48:45
Nunez has been dropped from the Saudi League squad, so he's hardly ripping up trees out there.
I'm not sure his enthusiasm or unpredictability (wanting to fight in the crowd, stick his head on someone, down tools, pass the ball into touch or for goal kicks, or be caught offside numerous times a game) is the answer to Slot's risk-averse football.

Yes, I am on Isak's case. It was a mediocre signing at a ludicrous price at best. He had one season in which he scored half the number of goals Salah scored in a smash-and-grab system deployed by, arguably, the most clueless coach in the EPL.
But we fell for it. He was unfit when he signed. And I see those legs, those legs are no footballer legs. He is fragile, weak, and I was always wary of his stability.
I heard Shearer say that he is always falling away when hitting the ball, and lacks the base and balance that is a must for a striker.
Just a good first-touch merchant is all.
Hope I am wrong, but I won't be deluded into believing he will achieve any heights with us. Sorry for being mean and sounding like a hater, but we didn't really need to sell Nunez and get Isak when defensively we needed so many reinforcements. It was an unwise, callous and, dare I say, egotistical decision.

Isak's last 2 seasons
24/25 - 27 goals, 6 assists
23/24 - 25 goals, 2 assists.

Willo, that is true and I agree. However, it was Slot who was playing Isak, a striker who had no preseason. Sorry, that is the dumbest idea ever.
