Alexander Isak opened his goalscoring account for Liverpool in the Premier League by breaking the deadlock against West Ham United on SundayAlexander Isak has been branded the 'Prime Minister of Misery' after he failed to crack a smile following his first goal in the Premier League for Liverpool. The Dutchman then sealed all three points for his side when he scored in stoppage time.But Isak’s facial expression after putting his side ahead against the Hammers wasn’t exactly one of jubilation.



Alexander Isak is the Prime Minister of misery.”Responding to Stelling’s claims, his talkSPORT co-host Ally McCoist said: "He's playing in a position where one of Liverpool's greatest goalscorers when he scored a goal, his face lit up a stadium and that was Kenny Dalglish."There was never a happier scorer of a goal than Kenny. It looked as though he's got the world on his shoulders."Stelling then responded, saying: "He looks like he has with that price tag." Before continuing: "Look, he hasn't delivered so far, for whatever reason.

I suspect he probably will."At the moment, he needs to get the fans on side somehow and maybe show a bit of joy and a little bit of passion, that might help."Speaking after his goal at the London Stadium, Isak said: "I'm aware that it's been a long time coming. The most important [and] best feeling today is that we won the game, that's the best way to get a good spirit within the group, and that's helpful for the individual as well."But, of course I'm a striker, so scoring goals will always help me."Asked about the goal, Slot replied: "It's very important for us as a team that we went 1-0 up, but I think it was also important for him because I think it was his third or fourth chance of this game."I don't think there was much more than 10 minutes in him to go, so then to score just before you come off was important for us, but also for him."Isak's mood certainly wouldn't have improved after the draw against Sunderland.
