"I don't know, to be honest, as he hasn't played 90 minutes yet," he explained."But one thing I know is that he looks better than a month ago, which is normal. He also made an excellent assist this weekend (against Chelsea)."I don't know if it's a long way (until he is back to his best), but we're getting closer, as you need six weeks in a pre-season.

When you come to a new club it is normal that it can take time to interact with the new teammates."He is doing his pre-season with competitive matches and I think he and Liverpool have handled it very well. If you look at the way he plays, the way he moves is top class - I still think he is very good."Meanwhile, Tomasson also took a swipe at Newcastle, where he featured as a player during his career, highlighting how their contrasting approach with Yoane Wissa compared to Isak backfired spectacularly.
