Alexander Isak has not gained momentum since his transfer to Liverpool FC. Legend Wayne Rooney demands a bench seat for the striker.
Seven competitive matches, one goal, and one assist – that is the current yield of the 150-million man Alexander Isak from FC Liverpool. The striker has now been sharply criticized for his performances.
Wayne Rooney said in his BBC podcast: “I wouldn’t let Isak play – he simply doesn’t seem ready since he came from Newcastle.”
Alexander Isak is still waiting for his first Premier League goal for Liverpool FC
It can be seen in the previous Liverpool matches that the Swede is not yet properly integrated. Isak is still waiting – like teammate Florian Wirtz – for his first Premier League goal in the Reds’ jersey.
In the summer, the striker desperately wanted to move to Anfield Road and even suspended training at Newcastle United to achieve this. Rooney mentioned that this would now take its toll.
“He did not train, had no preparation. That is so important. While Newcastle was training, he was probably sitting on the phone with his agent for six hours a day to push through the transfer. If you have no preparation, then you pay the price,” emphasizes the England legend.
