Liverpool Echo IconSportFootballLiverpool FCFormer Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul has had his say on Alexander Isak's slow start to his Liverpool career following the striker's £125m transfer to AnfieldTim Krul believes Alexander Isak’s below-par start to his Liverpool career is ‘karma’ for the way he forced his way out of Newcastle United. As a result, he was left playing catch-up after belatedly completing a British record £125m switch to Liverpool on transfer deadline day.Isak is yet to live up to his hefty price tag though following his disjointed summer, and has returned just one goal and one assist from his first eight appearances for the Reds.

Yet to score in the Premier League, he is set to miss Liverpool’s clash with Aston Villa on Saturday because of a groin injury, having been forced off at half-time in the Reds’ Champions League win over Eintracht Frankfurt earlier this month.READ MORE: Liverpool handed new injury update as Reds star confirms return date - 'I will be there'Former Newcastle goalkeeper Krul insists there were no winners in the Isak transfer saga, though he is glad to see his former club move on without the forward - with his replacement, Nick Woltemade taking no time to settle at St. And having seen Marc Guehi enjoy a strong season for Crystal Palace to date after not forcing through his own move to Liverpool, Krul pointed to ‘karma’ when offering his take on Isak’s struggles.“There were no winners in that situation,” he said on talkSPORT, as quoted by Newcastle World.

I think you know how you treat people, you get paid back.“Mark Guehi is a captain, he's a role model and he will get his move. That will set him in great stead hopefully for the World Cup.”Isak is also at risk of missing out on World Cup qualification with Sweden, with his country bottom of their qualification group ahead of the November international break, while Liverpool have dropped to seventh in the Premier League table after losing six of their last seven games in all competitions.
