The rest of them were good enough to take us on.”Alexander Isak is not a huge worry for LiverpoolIt is understandable if fans are not happy with the performances of Isak and are worried about the price paid for a player who is of star quality.However, it is not too much of a worry at this current moment as Liverpool are getting their goals from elsewhere.This is to say that, of course, the Swedish star will score regularly, but in this short period from now until Christmas, it can be slightly excused as long as others keep up their performances.If anything, Isak is suffering from a lack of service from his team, considering he is not often given the ball or played in a position where he can likely score.All he needs is more time on the pitch and service, especially from Hugo Ekitike, because if the pair share the pitch more often, it will unlock a perfect partnership.
