I've not seen it again mind but I'm surprised Wilson didn't take it with his right and curl it instead of letting it come across onto his left.

Ah nah, Wilson Gordon played the right pass and I get why strikers are so one minded but I see how a simple pass across from Wilson would have almost certainly resulted in a goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Its a pity he didn't score, not because it would have majorly affected the result, but because we could have seen the paragon of virtue and fair play that is Liverpool Football Club not time waste or do any kind of sportsmanship in closing out the game with a precarious one-goal lead. As it was we merely got to see Fabinho, who committed the worst unpunished tackle of the season but didn't get a ban. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about instinct, judgement in a split second, and of course the keeper will have his own part to play. It might just have been a really good save. Obviously Callum could have just put it where the keeper wasn't in hindsight. Hit it with your right! Hit it High! etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was a really weak effort personally. Edited February 19, 2023 by reefatoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said already if I was going to pick a fault maybe he could have lifted it a touch.But he's a high class finisher, he doesn't usually get much wrong so I wouldn't fret about such details since every striker in the world will get some shots saved or even miss the goal altogether. Yes let me repeat, he missed it the right way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 It was a wank finish and I'd keep him on the bench for now too. Isak is a better overall footballer and needs gametime - he's part of our long-term future and Wilson isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 The idea of Wilson or Isak starting doesn't really stand up as they are such different players. Isak is better when the play brakes up and he has space to run into from deeper very similar to ASM. Wilson is more of a penalty box predator. Wilson is a CF, Isak an auxiliary or second striker like Joao Felix. If we insist on playing Isak as a CF nobody will come out of it looking good.

Wilson's obviously off the ball and the poor finishing isn't really forgivable but I do feel for him a bit. He spends most of the time doubled-up on by CBs (a weakness of the system) and it's just doing nowt for him or the team. Would be ideal if we could get them both strikers in the team; Bruno and Joe as the double-pivot with three of Maxi, Isak, Miggy and Gordon off Wilson.

Always a bit cringeworthy when a football fan invokes whatever dogshit level they themselves played at to try and add gravitas to their opinion.

Yes let me repeat, he missed it the right way. Hhmm, feel he misses quite a few chances myself. I don’t think he is as prolific as he should be. Also don’t agree he missed the right way either. Think he made the keeper make the save quite easily with where he placed it. He should have done so much better with it. Was a bad miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case yeah, I guess your views on why it was a bad miss might hold more credence. But Harry blasts a few over the bar as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Think the years of of injuries have finally caught up with him, hasn't looked sharp all season and looks like he's lost a yard of pace, not finished but looking on the way to being finished.

The College Dropout Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I’d like to see Bruno Joelinton Almiron/Gordon Isak ASM Wilson At some point. Get our most talented players on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
