You need a proper season, but now the honeymoon is over and they are going to absolutely hammer the Premier League, both of them.“It’s been up and down for Isak so far.



If you’ve got the likes of Salah and the other Liverpool attackers around you it means you’re going to score goals. Isak will score goals.

It’s harder to settle but give both Gyokeres and Isak time to settle and they will both score goals.“Both are too good to not score goals. Viktor takes penalties and Isak is a penalty taker.
