"I think he will come good. I just think he needs to keep holding his head high, because one thing he can't do is let it get to you and put your head down. We've seen it with Darwin Nunez, who, before he came [to Liverpool] was an aggressive player, doing really well, scoring goals. Then he got the energy got sucked away from him."
"That's not because of the fans or anything, that's just your own mental strength that you need to you need to work on. Isak needs to work on that. He needs to continue to play well, continue to be aggressive, continue to work hard. He'll get over this little blip, and he'll find his feet within that system or the way that Liverpool are playing."
Alexander Isak joined Liverpool for a club-record fee from Newcastle United but has scored only once and delivered largely mediocre performances across competitions. The striker missed pre-season, which hindered fitness and contributed to his slow start despite being one of the Premier League's top players last season. Confidence remains that he will recover form if he maintains aggression, hard work, and mental resilience. A comparison to Darwin Nunez illustrates how mentality can sap a player's energy and output. Isak sustained a groin injury during the UEFA Champions League match against Frankfurt and faces uncertainty over the timing of his return.
