Former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney believes Alexander Isak only has himself to blame for slow start to life at Liverpool, as the big Swedish star has failed to impress during his few months at the Merseyside giants.
After establishing himself as one of the best finishers in Europe, last summer saw Liverpool make the big decision that they would spend £125 million to bring the striker to Anfield in hope that he could take his game to that next level.
However – injuries, poor performances and the brilliant of Hugo Ekitike has meant that Isak has not made any real impression at LIVERPOOL, that he has become one of the biggest transfer flops of the summer window and now Rooney has had his say on the move.
Speaking on his on his podcast, Rooney said: “I think it’s his own fault. You know, he didn’t train with Newcastle. There’s no harm in asking, in leaving Newcastle for Liverpool. I think logically, probably nine out 10 Newcastle players would do that now.
“But I think the way he went about it and not training with the team, he left himself short without a pre-season. And then he picked up his first injury. I know the second one (injury) is a tackle, but he hasn’t been match fit since he’s been at Liverpool, I don’t think.
“We always talk about the mental side of the game and there’s big pressure playing at big clubs. He knows that. Newcastle is a big club, their fan base, I can imagine that being a tough team to play for with how passionate the Newcastle fans are.
“So he’ll have known and expected that. But his Liverpool career just hasn’t got up and going yet.”

Isak wanted this move, he needed this move to prove that he is one of the best in world football, but it really has not worked out and he may struggle to get back into the form that he showed at Newcastle.
He didnt have to leave the Toon, he could have stayed, he is probably regretting making the decision to leave and join LIVERPOOL ay?
