**Chris Sutton has a punt at predicting the score for upcoming Premier League games, and while we always cover his predictions for Newcastle United games, we don't really look at what he has to say about other games.**
However, today, something he said in [his prediction ahead of Liverpool's game against Brentford](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cx2n7vrwp1do) caught our eye, especially as it lines up with something we've been saying.
For the uninitiated, Alexander Isak went on strike at Newcastle over the summer to force through a move to Liverpool. The Swede eventually got his wish, and his £125 million transfer went through on deadline day.
At the same time, Yoane Wissa, who'd also gone on strike to force a move, left Brentford to join Newcastle. Wissa went on international duty and picked up a long-term injury before kicking a ball for Newcastle. We thought this was likely a bit of karma biting him in the behind after taking the strike route to get his move.
Karma comes for us all
Chris Sutton says you reap what you sow
---------------------------------------
We always maintained that what Alexander Isak did was worse, as at least Wissa returned to training and kept in touch with Brenford during his strike, but where was Isak's karma?
6he Liverpool number 9 has massively struggled since his move and has now also picked up an injury. Chris Sutton highlighted this in his prediction saying that karma has finally come for the 26-year-old.
> "Liverpool will probably be without Alexander Isak after he was injured against Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday."It feels like what has happened to him is a case of you reap what you sow. Isak has been short of full fitness and especially sharpness all season anyway, and he did not help himself there by missing training with Newcastle in order to try to force his move to Anfield through."He got what he wanted, but now he is trying to play catch-up instead of hitting the ground running because of the time he had off, and that is when you can pick up injuries.
>
> "Isak is too good a player not to eventually start scoring goals but this whole situation has affected Liverpool as a team too, because his lack of fitness is one of the reasons they have not clicked in the final third yet."
Karma is a wonderful thing
--------------------------
It had to come. Karma always gets you in the end. But as Sutton says, and as we've been saying all along, there will come a time when it all clicks for Isak at Anfield and they will get what they paid for.
We just hope, with all of our bitter hearts, that it's not too soon.
Wissa's karma was immediate and lengthy, so we'll see how Isak's goes.
