FLUMPO235 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Looks off the pace for whatever reason. Post take over, is this the longest run he’s gone without scoring when he’s started? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched him really closely in QF game, and seems that his touch/decision making wasn’t as consistently good as we’d (and he’d) expect. Perhaps just a form/opportunity thing rather than a running on empty fatigue thing. Maybe needs more time rather than benched, but Eddie and crew will make that call. Regardless of what happens beyond that, if he’s fit enough for 90 mins, I’ll be surprised if Isak doesn’t start away to Southampton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Odd because i thought his touch was at an all time best versus Fulham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could do with the other forwards or front midfielder being closer to him when gets the ball. As it is, he’s needing about 3 touches to get it to a teammate. That’s too many. He needs closer support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 He's definitely a bit off but he needs support. Occupies a lot of important space on his own for us. I think we need to find a way to get him and Isak on together, we're not blessed with great goalscorers in the squad outside of those 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverThere Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 On 21/01/2023 at 16:46, LFEE said: Our wide front three do tend to stay very wide. Maybe something to work on and mix it up a bit. Also I’d like our wingers to swap sides occasionally. Today a classic example of having the pace either side to get beyond full backs but both crossing with their weaker foot. Agree. They could swap for a few minutes here and there. At the very least it gives the defensive opponents more to think about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I think he’ll be fine but judging by Howe’s quotes he’s missed large chunks of training so no wonder he’s looked a bit off. I’m sure Howe will manage his minutes appropriately and he’ll get that sharpness back in the coming weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Rarely plays well but can finish chances and half-chances better than anyone else. If were not creating chances for him. He's Wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Feel bad saying it because he’s been so good, but we’re carrying him now. Isak can do so much more, he simply must start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I think its good that we can offer him a rest as a fit and sharp Wilson is such an asset, he's just off form lately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Edgar Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I have no ill feeling towards him cos he's been integral and seems to have a top attitude. Got to be something going on that we aren't privy to. He's just not the same player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
