Gets his team a throw-in 30 or 40 yards up the pitch, takes the pressure off.”Alexander Isak verdict against Inter Milan is very different Despite Ekitike having previous experience on the left for his country, it was the Swede who floated out wide on a more regular basis throughout much of the game.However, Isak seemed to struggle in this role and had his fitness questioned by former player Stephen Warnock, who was also covering the match live as a pundit.He said: “I’m watching Isak at the moment, and he looks shattered.

That is what happens when you miss pre-season.”Isak didn’t sign for Liverpool until the end of the last transfer window, and before that, he spent the summer on strike at Newcastle.He then suffered an injury after arriving at Anfield, and at present, the Swede looks as though he is still not quite fully fit.
