Liverpool supporters have been delighted to see the real Alexander Isak this season as the former Newcastle hitman finally finds his scoring boots.Isak barely got going last season after joining the Reds for £125m, and despite injury playing a big part in his misfortune, he has already been written off by some.The No. 9 has answered his critics in a fine way this term, though, scoring four goals in five Premier League matches.

And Isak has now taken his goals into the international break, finding the net for Sweden against Romania on Friday evening, with the Swedish press left praising the Liverpool star for his all-round performance. Where do you stand on Florian Wirtz?

Fairly? 🤔 Isak ‘very involved’ as well as scoring for SwedenThough his goals have obviously taken centre-stage, there has also been a general improvement in Isak’s wider game this season.The 27-year-old was often on the fringes of Liverpool games when he did get on the pitch last year, but the arrival of Andoni Iraola has helped him to get on the ball more.This also appears to have been evident under Graham Potter with Sweden. According to Fotboll Skanlen, Isak was ‘very involved in the attacking play’ against Romania, as he dropped deeper to combine with his midfielders.Despite his willingness to fall back into midfield in search of the ball, Isak still managed to threaten ‘several times,’ in what is hailed as an overall ‘strong’ performance.Expressen are also complimentary of the Liverpool striker, handing him a three out of five rating.Isak is said to have begun the match in ‘energetic’ fashion, showing off some ‘nice combination play on the wings.’ It is claimed that he then ‘faded’ as the game progressed, but that was not before his goal.Potter ultimately decided to keep him on for the full 90 minutes, showing the continued improvement in Isak’s physical shape as well.Sweden play again next on Monday, when they host Poland, with Isak going in search of a third consecutive goalscoring display.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
