Decky Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Relying on Wilson to stay fit while playing every 3 or 4 days for the next few weeks. To say I'm concerned is an understatement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Well he got through the day and delivered perfectly, interesting to see if he will play any role on Wednesday or be kept fresh for Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Yep. 13/13 now. I think the same. As he’s taken a few iffy ones for us, last night included. But you can’t argue with his record. Thought he was an odd choice for MOTM. As I don’t even think he was our best player. I thought yet again, Schar was. Never mind some of their players. But I suppose he has got us a point and the first goal was great improvisation from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 On 18/05/2023 at 23:14, Ronaldo said: Ooooh good timing. Wilson has been unbelievably good this season apart from that bizarre 2 and a half months when he looked dead. Those two penalties against Leeds in front of mincing radgies sum him up - balls as big as an Irish broad’s ass, to quote Ralph Cifaretto. Ba was outrageously good at scoring half chances and better footballer overall. Callum has at least proved me wrong to be so sure of it. Ask me again in 10 days. 5 months late but thoughts on this again? Ba or Wilson? I'd say Wilson is definitely our best since Shearer as it stands; his goals and goals per 90 even in Bruce's teams is superb. I do however think Isak should take the 'best since Shearer' title off Wilson eventually. Wilson is a fantastic poacher but his all round play outside the box flatters to deceive imo. Our press and build up is much better with Isak up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I think Isak is a slight improvement away from being better than Shearer - for us, certainly. I rate him very highly, if that wasn’t obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate him very highly, if that wasn’t obvious. The Shearer pre-Goodison injury was phenomenal for us. Isak’s brilliant but not sure he’ll ever quite reach those levels. Obviously he’s probably better than the one-legged, couldn’t run Shearer, that scored 20 a season through sheer willpower towards the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Isak doesn’t have the brute force and willpower of Shearer, he’s not as good in the air or at striking the ball with power. However, he’s a world apart from Shearer in terms of dribbling. Shearer was the better out and out striker at his best but Isak will offer more in his all round game and he’ll continue to improve a lot more too. He’s a phenomenal player who has pretty much all the attributes (apart, possibly, from having that steely will t win) to become a top three striker in the world for years to come Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
