arnonel Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Anyone else notice that cheeky touch/pass near the end? Lush Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Aye, it wasn't showboating as well, it was probably the only thing to do, which is what I liked about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 His ability at getting the ball out of his feet is amazing, that turn he did that’s mentioned above was a fantastic piece of skill and his turn and shot was also great. He’s such an archetypal striker, comes to life in a second. Looking forward to him putting some away in the next few fixtures Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 His reactions and instinct are great and I don’t think that assist he got yesterday should be underestimated. Don’t think many players would have flicked it across to Isak with such perfect weight as quickly as he did it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 As good as the turn was that chance he made for himself when he received it back to goal, rolled the defender and forced a save from the keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I'm one of his biggest fans but he's been dawdling on the ball and getting outplayed more often than he was pre-world cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 The man can't run like he used to. And it is as if he's playing with lag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. Not the same looking player he was when trying to get in the World Cup squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Maybe he needs an injury to reboot? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Looked really rusty since his return. 0 goals in 8. Think it's time to start Isak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 He looked so sharp at the WC and in his first game back. Definitely lacking that razor edge he usually has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Doesn't look quite right to me. Not sure if he needs more minutes or alternatively a rest? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Looks off form, he's working hard but dosn't seem confident in his goal scoring ability, most strikers have a run like this and hopefully a goal in the next few games will give him his confidence back, if not Isak can have a crack at the starting spot.

IzzyIsak Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Wanted Isak to start ahead of him and stand by it. He is missing chances and not even holding the ball up, absolutely hopeless today again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I expect Isak to get a start on Tuesday tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Looked disappointed when he came off which is standard but does look like he’s struggling a bit. Looks a yard short of pace currently but he’s getting crowded out by a load of defenders too to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I’d rest him for Tuesday, well bench.. Wilson has looked off the boil since just before the World Cup, but as I mentioned in another thread, he had a 2 week Covid thing and that can take its toll.

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Even Haaland ain't scoring atm. Shit happens. Sure Isak prob get a start again Southampton and prob reason he didn't start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
