Watched him a lot last night and his leadership of the high press is phenomenal. There’s quite a lot of hand signals there for when to press and when to stand off etc. At Bournemouth goal kicks he was literally telling where people to stand and at one point he turned round and basically said to Burn “this is coming to you” and within 5 seconds Burn had won it back.

 

 

 

 

 

He looked very lively, and was causing them all sorts of problems.

We need someone buzzing around him to give him more space in the middle. 

[GWN]

Anyone else heard he’s injured?

[David Edgar]

Yeah, someone just mentioned it in the match thread.

Love him and he's brilliant, but we need a new striker.

[Norseman]

He’s ill apparantly. According to the club twitter

[Shak]

Makes Darren Anderson look like Brett Fabre, this lad.

We signed one but he's injured

Yeah this shit can’t go on, mind. Richest club in the world with a Championship level striker starting again. Has to be remedied this window.

He's talking about Wood, hard to argue with that. 

[Shak]

Thuram just seems such a no-brainer.

[BeloEmre]

Any news after the game? Will he be ready for Leeds on Saturday?

Wasn’t he sick during the world cup? It’s only been a couple of weeks.

Covid just before it

I mean regardless of whether he's ill or injured, he simply can't be relied upon, and, to an extent when we were shite that could be put up with as he was the best player in that position we could realistically attract, the position we are in now, and are going to be in moving forward means we are outgrowing him and he needs to be replaced.

 

At least as far as our main striker, hopefully Isak will take off when he returns and be first choice anyway and Wilson can be a back up but If not we need someone else.

 

It's a massive shame as he seems a great lad and he's a cracking player, and if he could stay injury free he'd be one of the best strikers around, but unfortunately it just isn't to be.

He'll score a brace on Saturday and this will all be forgotten

Until the next time, which inevitably there will be, and therein lies the problem

We just set a club record with a new striker purchase. Seems wasteful to buy another unless it is someone who can handle the wings too. We already engaged in a panic buy with Wood and to some extent Isaak.  I am hoping that Isaak is not injury prone, but he is closing in on 100 days of being out.  I am not sure what the plan would be if Trippier went down. Manquillo or Kraft?  Wing seems like the winter purchase best designed to help us stay top four.

Not sure what he can do about being ill like
