Ronaldo Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Just now, David Edgar said: It is just an observation that Wilson was mobile and contributed a lot in the build up play, which Isak has not been able to do for weeks. Isak has played poorly despite the couple of in play goals. I don't want Wilson playing. Nor do I want this unfit version of Isak playing tbh. But Wilson didn't look completely out of place today. If you mean contributing to us losing the ball, yeah. I’d love to see his highlight reel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 How can anyone watch that game and say Wilson was a positive. Arsenals CBs were under no pressure at all, they were more troubled by Rayas kicking than anything Wilson did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was even worse than I thought he'd be and I wasn't expecting much. 1 more game then release him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Held the ball up well 2 or 3 times. Of course you need much more from your striker than that, but we know he’s past his best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 There’s a massive gulf between ‘past his best’ and unable to meaningfully contribute. He gets away with murder on here, frankly - though less so today admittedly. When was the last time our number 9 went an entire season without scoring a league goal? Has it ever happened? Either way it’s an absolute running pisstake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 He can't be given a new contract. Always be remembered as a good level striker for the club, but he offers virtually nothing now. No doubt his injuries have majorly taken their toll, but the time has come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 His showing today should be a wake up call for Howe, if the rumours were right that they’re considering an extension. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Started alright for 5 - 10 mins but then faded badly. Not surprising really as it's only his 2nd start this season they said and he's only been getting the odd 15 mins off the bench mostly. But it's been clear ever since last season that the body is done and there isn't a champions league chasing premier quality player left in there. Praying that we can get Isak available for next week. If we can't then I don't think Wilson starting is the best alternative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) If he was making himself a nuisance for the CBs but shit with everything else, you can just about justify starting him for Everton game. But his body is so broken, he seemingly doesn’t even do that any more, instead some half-arse backing in where he flops over. Osula is clearly a winger only in Howes view right now, so if Isak wasn’t fit, it would have to be Gordon up top. Still not great, but vastly better. Just confirms how a 2nd striker is key, or a RW who can play up front and is fit and reliable themselves. Edited May 19 by Sibierski Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
