(Credit: Imago, Hasan Karim - Breaking Media) Tue 14 October 2025 10:34, UK Liverpool fans have been weighing in on Alexander Isak’s Sweden struggles following another lacklustre performance for his country.Liverpool did not rest on their laurels in the summer window after winning the Premier League title, as Alexander Isak‘s long saga eventually saw him leave Newcastle to move to Anfield on deadline day for a British record transfer fee of £125m.He netted over 20 league goals in his last two seasons at Newcastle, but is yet to start firing on Merseyside with just one strike in his first six games at the club.Isak failed to make an impact for Sweden last month during some pivotal World Cup qualifying games against Slovenia and Kosovo, but that was blamed on his lack of fitness, and he played six times for Liverpool prior to this international break to increase his chances of making an impact.Sweden lost 2-0 to Switzerland on Friday (10 October) to stay bottom of Group B, and hopes of a better result and performance were much higher as they took on Kosovo on Monday (13 October), but Isak’s woes meant they struggled once more.Credit: Manh Tung – Breaking Media, ImagoLiverpool fans react as Isak fails to shine for Sweden yet againIsak lined up in a strike partnership with Arsenal man Viktor Gyokeres in Gothenburg, but both players failed to make an impact as Sweden fell to a 1-0 defeat to dash their chances of qualification through the groups.The 26-year-old took six shots, of which only two hit the target, did not create a chance, missed a big chance to score, and only attempted three ground duels all evening, despite staying on for the full 90 minutes.
