Gawalls Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I’m not getting carried away - delighted for him and he needed it but some of the statements “fantastic option off the bench” and “a great option in Europe next season” is a bit crazy. It’s only one goal after missing A LOT of sitters recently, let’s see how it goes next few appearances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Looked a lot more mobile than of late and glad he managed to stick one in. Seems as though the rest Vs Forest and then only a short stint today has refreshed him a bit, he looked absolutely spent a few weeks ago. Hopefully Eddie continues to manage his minutes and we can still get some value out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean recently - he’s looked finished recently, he’s 31 ffs - If he gets his form back from here on then great otherwise I’ve been saying for ages get Toney back.

Did he look finished today? I'm under no illusions over Wilson's long term future, but to say he wouldnt be a good option off the bench next season is OTT. And he's definitely not "finished". He'll have injuries yes, beyond next season he's likely going to either have radically changed his game in no time at all to adapt or start to struggle given his strength is his explosive strength. Toney wont be cheap. We'll sign someone a decent amount younger than Toney to replace Wilson imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 What is with this weird stuff when someone has a bad ten games, then they’re finished. Same shit with Klay Thompson a few games after his injuries. He’s now having his best season. Just highlights that we are not living in the age of patience.

The hope was he could pull it around, and yesterday has gone some way towards that, but because the drop off was so severe it was fair to worry something very bad had gone wrong. But he definitely looked more himself yesterday, and apparently they've done some good work with him over the international break, so hopefully it will go down in history as a long hiccup.

What exactly is the message this would send? The management are loons? Hes got 8 goals in 25 games - 1 in 3, so is scoring in a squad that lacks goals. There are only two strikers in the squad so it’s already too short up front and a replacement would cost £30m at least (Wood cost £25m). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I like the fact we have the option of two different options, Wilson will hold his position and usually if it's a good chance he will finish it. But Isak will play the whole three attacking positions at times, he chases down the defenders as seen vs Forest and Man Utd, winning the ball himself and creating opportunities. I was really impressed with Isak, the defence starts with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Gave it his all to get selected for the WC, seems he's had a bit of a hangover for whatever reason. Hopefully some time to rest and reflect while Isak gets his chance is enough to see him back to normal. I think he'll benefit from not being the main man, able to come out the team and rest up and recover properly. He's alway been rushed back, especially at his age you'd hope where in a position to not have to do that now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
