I wouldn't might seeing Osula doing a bit of Isak's running. He seems very into the high press, not sure if we could play 2 up top, Isak roaming and Osula running down the CB's.

Aye, not taking hits has killed me twice in the last 4 weeks. Once to get Salah in his mega haul (got him on a FT the next week) and now not going Son > Saka last week has done me out of 16 points . Infuriating, all were planned but I didn't want to risk the 4 points

If you want to repeat yourself, feel free. I can't really argue against it. I think Isak plays in a far worse team than any of the other strikers mentioned as Elite in this argument, and I'd argue he'd put up exceptional numbers if he played for a top class team. I guess that's opinions, but I think it's definitely a factor.

I think you're ignoring similar barren patches of other elite strikers if you think he isn't currently elite. Haaland is undoubtedly in the bracket of best ever strikers to grace the prem, and he's having a nightmare in the PL at the moment. Lewa, Kane etc all have had barren patches. Kane was a notoriously slow starter in terms of goals scored for multiple seasons. None of these facts make them poor finishers, it's just a fact of life. No one is perfect.

I think Isak is an elite finisher personally. All faith in him finishing all but the most difficult chances. Going through a slightly wasteful patch atm but his confidence and composure in front of goal is top class.

I think we clearly went 4-4-1-1 until Gordon went off and then we went 4-4-2. Definitely a tactical switch. It was shocking, but it was clearly something different.

This is more the point. The narcissism is painful.

I don't think so. There's a large luck component, but the same people finish in the top 10 of the N-O league pretty regularly.

Aye, all my mini leagues transferred in Salah, Isak and JP. In fact I did that too,

Gerrin. Absolute snake.

Whats this?

Happy to be diametrically opposed to whatever nightmares you churn up whenever your kids are away.

Thought it was good from Eddie when Mudryk was rinsing us down our right and he moved Joelinton over to absolutely clamp him. It's excellent having an attacking player who can press and tackle like that. Whichever side Joelinton plays on is generally strong. Shame he couldn't even finish his tea like.

Still think he gets turned easily and his running intensity when tracking back isn't that impressive. Can definitely tell he's trained as a midfielder with attacking focus.

Love his ability to find a ball on the break. Fantastic passer.

Can't wait for this. Playing on Thursday for a bit of a warmup, get my toe-poke dialled in.

Aye, you can't charge anyone for following the rules. That would be so obviously unfair.

Totally forgot that Tonali played in that game.

Just got gooseys watching Fab's last goal there.

Why pollute the bit everyone is wanting to see with the bits barely anyone wants to see?

What's this shit interviewing Tavernier DURING the game?? 88 minutes ffs

Shite, that's awful news. Get well soon, Dazza!

You on the wind up? Aaaaaaa

Oof, what a way to find out you're not in the clique

Are there no group DM's?
