Alexander Isak has yet to score for Liverpool in the Premier League, with his poor form not going unnoticed by former England captain Wayne Rooney 12:06, Mon, Oct 20, 2025 Updated: 12:06, Mon, Oct 20, 2025 Alexander Isak during Liverpool vs Manchester United (Image: Carl Recine/Getty Images)Liverpool's record signing Alexander Isak has failed to impress enough to warrant a starting position over Hugo Ekitike, according to England legend Wayne Rooney. Sweden striker Isak had a limited pre-season and didn't feature in any matches for Newcastle prior to his £125m move to Liverpool.

Rooney suggests that he is still struggling to find his form, partly due to his lack of preparation ahead of the new season, and indeed he hasn't been in top gear for his country as well as his club."I wouldn't play Isak, he hasn't looked ready since coming from Newcastle," Rooney argued on The Wayne Rooney Show. "He hasn't trained, hasn't had a pre-season.

It's so important."It's so difficult when you don't have a pre-season. If you lose four times in a row you have to have concerns, but we know if we keep bringing these types of performances then we will have a fair chance of winning more football games," Slot said when quizzed by Match of the Day following the latest defeat.
