Striker **Hugo Ekitike**, who had been hoping to continue his momentum after scoring on debut, was left on the bench as **Alexander Isak** started up front. After the match, Ekitike took to social media and dropped a **sad one-word message** that immediately caught attention.
The post has left fans stunned. Many are now questioning whether the French forward is feeling **deeply unhappy** with his situation at Anfield. Some supporters fear that this could spark a **fresh wave of drama inside the squad**, especially with competition for places heating up under Arne Slot.
While the message was cryptic, the timing couldn’t have been more telling. Ekitike’s reaction adds another twist to Liverpool’s already eventful season — one that could put Slot’s man-management skills to the ultimate test.
Is this just frustration in the heat of the moment, or the beginning of a bigger problem at Anfield?
