"It hasn't been the start to the season that Isak would've wanted. When you consider Sweden's front three of Gyokeres, Isak and Elanga and you can't score and are on the brink of not qualifying for the World Cup. Obviously, the manager has paid the price and lost his job which is no surprise. Obviously with the Newcastle situation, Isak not playing or training and understandably hasn't hit the ground running at Liverpool, he was probably looking to get to full fitness at this international break, but it's gone the other way,"
"Shearer surely won't have been happy to see Isak leaving St James' Park for a big move to Anfield, so perhaps he's enjoying a slight feeling of smugness that the Sweden international is now out of form. Isak was a star player at Newcastle but has only one goal in six appearances so far this season, making a slow start to life at Liverpool."
Alexander Isak completed a big move to Liverpool but has scored only once in six appearances, representing a slow start at his new club. The forward missed most of pre-season while seeking a move from Newcastle, limiting his preparation and fitness. Sweden's attacking trio, including Isak, have struggled to score, leaving the national team in danger of failing to qualify for the World Cup and prompting managerial change. Liverpool supporters are cautiously patient given early timing, but finding goals from Isak would help calm concerns during a difficult patch of form.
