"However, his start to life at Anfield has been very underwhelming, with only goal (vs Southampton in the Carabao Cup) and one assist in six appearances across all competitions. Isak has attracted criticism in recent weeks due to his disappointing performances, although those at Liverpool have been keen to stress that their new number nine has not been at 100% since joining late in the summer."
"Alexander Isak has had his 5/6 weeks of pre-season so fitness wise he's close to the level he should be. We can judge him in a fair way from now on. Understandably, there has been a lot of pressure on Isak in the early days of his Liverpool career not only because he is the most expensive Premier League player in history at 125m, but also due to Hugo Ekitike, who has been impressive since joining from Eintracht Frankfurt, breathing down his neck to start"
Alexander Isak moved from Newcastle to Liverpool in the summer. He has one goal (vs Southampton in the Carabao Cup) and one assist in six appearances across all competitions. Criticism has followed due to disappointing performances. Liverpool maintained he was not at 100% after joining late in the summer. Isak is now close to full match fitness and can be judged fairly on his performances. He faces heavy pressure because he is the Premier League's most expensive signing at £125m and due to competition from Hugo Ekitike. The upcoming match against Manchester United at Anfield offers a chance to score and ease pressure.
