He's looked his best recently with Isak and I think that's a key for us in the league. For the next semi leg I'd rest him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Doesn't look fit. Just seems off the pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 He’s not even in the game. I know his game is often to fade out and then be super clinical but he’s barely having an impact on the game, second to every ball. Needs a rest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 It was inevitable he'd be dropped for Isak. Given performances of late, the sooner the better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I’m not as down on him as some TBH. He isn’t getting as involved as before for sure, but he’s still showing good hold up play at times and was a key part of that goal that should have been allowed. Isak is going to be better pretty soon of course, if he isn’t already. But if they’re just easing him in then fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDog Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I might be in the minority but I would love to see ASM, Wilson and Isak as a starting front line. I'm not the first to mention this but I agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 He’s an off the shoulder forward with good hold up play. he’s a very different player to Isak who is more refined. I think he needs a break or to be better utilised again sides who will pin us back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 He seems half a yard slower than before the WC and his touch has been poor the last two games. He had some great moments against Leicester and Fulham. But overall, since the return after the break. I feel like he has been well below his best. The service to him hasn’t been great. But when we have been getting it in good areas. He’s been stood still a lot of the time and not attacking the box like you’d expect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 All the players seem to have lost their selfish streak. Not sure if that's instruction from the gaffer to keep recycling the ball to maintain possession and pull opposition out of position. Miggy, Bruno, Maxi, Wilson they all were in shooting positions in or just outside the box to "give it ago" but instead were trying the sideways pass to someone else in a crowded well organised box it often doesn't work due to the number of bodies in the way.

SUPERTOON Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 In fairness to him, trying to return to top level sport after a bad illness must be absolutely brutal. Howe clearly didn’t want to risk Isak to early so Wilson has had to play, I’m confident he will be back to himself in no time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 If a game is open I would quite like to see him as a slightly deeper forward. Isak, ASM, Almiron being wider but further forward creating space in the middle for Wilson to exploit, with his finishing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krabbe2 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Might be a good idea to give him a break until the West Ham game. Focus on training and rest. He needs to be fit for the last half of the season. Isak takes care of Southampton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobsonsWonderland Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 So our go to move seems to be tight passing across the right side of the box and the ball being played across. These are the ones I think he should be poaching... But then again it is a lottery where longstaff's or miggys crosses will end up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but look at our goal last night... isak knew where and when to play the cross. Even looked up 3 times before he did it. But then he is a level above.

Consortium of one Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 He's playing like an out and out poacher right now, which is ok, but not what we need. He would not have been in position, nor been able to set up Joelinton's goal as Isak did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed this last night, mainly as I had Bruno down for a total shots bet and a few times I was thinking he would have a go but instead made a pass.
