Alexander Isak's failed to make much of a mark at Anfield since completing a British record £125million move to Liverpool from Newcastle United, and Alan Shearer has wasted no time in calling him outAlan Shearer claims that Alexander Isak's move to Liverpool "hasn't helped" the striker. What followed were claims that Isak was reportedly refusing to ever turn out for the Toon Army ever again, regardless of if he secured a move away ahead of deadline day.And while the 'will he, won't he?' saga ran down to the deadline, Liverpool eventually managed to secure their target in a British record transfer fee of £125million, just hours before the transfer window slammed shut on September 1.As a result of scoring 62 goals and providing 11 assists for Newcastle from 109 appearances, expectations were certainly high for the forward to hit the ground running at Anfield, especially considering how much effort the Reds put into securing his services.However, Isak has failed to make much of a mark since his arrival, with his only goal for the club coming in a narrow 2-1 win over Southampton in the Carabao Cup last month.

And Newcastle legend Shearer has wasted very little time in criticising the striker as a result.Speaking with Betfair about Isak's dismal start to the season, Shearer said: "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."It hasn't worked, he and they haven't scored and can't score which, when you look at the ability of that front three, being bottom of the group doesn't look right at all. The summer certainly hasn't helped Isak."Isak has played in three Premier League fixtures for Liverpool this season thus far, and has failed to find the back of the net in any of them.
