After the game, Henry was asked by Jamie Carragher, a former Liverpool defender, about his preference between Isak and Erling Haaland. Henry expressed frustration with the comparison between the two players. He noted that Isak is a versatile player who can play on both the left and right sides, while Haaland is a goal-scorer who tends to stay near the box.
In Henry's opinion, having both players in a 4-4-2 formation would be ideal, as they bring different strengths to the table. He emphasized that it's unfair to compare Isak and Haaland, as they are two distinct players with different playing styles.
Isak made a significant transfer to Liverpool on deadline day, joining the team for a record-breaking £125M. This move has put him under scrutiny, with every touch he makes being closely analyzed. As a result, comparisons between Isak and Haaland are already being made, and it's clear that pundits like Henry will not be drawn into a debate about which player is better.
Isak, who scored 62 goals in 109 appearances for Newcastle before joining Liverpool, may make his debut this weekend in the Merseyside derby against Everton. However, he is likely to come off the bench, with Hugo Ekitike likely to start.
