Alexander Isak: has a chance to play against Everton (Howe)


Recommended Posts

I think Wilson may have booked his ticket to the World Cup with his performance today.

 

Which brings me to this lad. If we can get him properly fit, trained and fitted into our team setup during the break, he can be this season's Cisse for the second part of the season. Remember how Pappis came, he took the league by storm after Ba had started the season so well for us?

 

Hopefully Isak can replicate that and PL defenders won't know what's going to hit them. We'll have a Plan B that most teams won't be able to figure out so quickly.

Plan B’s, Oh man!  :tobey:

I'm not sure where Eddie will look to slot him in when fit. We haven't had the benefit of all our fowards being fit at the same time yet. Wilson, Saint-Maximin, Isak and Almiron (who has made himself a guaranteed starter in current form)

 

I imagine the way Eddie likes to phase new players in then Isak I think is likely going to be the impact sub for a little while until injury or loss of form to one of the others. 

 

However the prospect of being able to fit all 4 into a formation at some point if they were all in form is mouth watering.?

ASM has had fitness issues so I wouldn’t be at all surprised at some point to see Isak playing that left side. The key point is it just gives us another option to keep playing with intensity. He can play any of the front 3 positions though admittedly not the same type of player as Wilson through the middle.

Where’s he going to play?


Depends on Maxi’s fitness but assuming no injuries he’ll be coming on for either Miggy, ASM or Wilson as an attacking option off the bench to start with which probably suits him. I think with away games he might see more minutes with Wilson’s minutes being managed to avoid injury and given his style probably suits the counter attack more away from home.
 

Moving forwards he’ll be pressing for a start either left or right vs Miggy and ASM which keeps them on their toes to play well.

He’ll be eased in but unfortunately it’ll be for Miggy (who I fucking love) because Miggy will come off the boil at some point.

 

I really hope Howe finds a new spot for Miggy though, somewhere in that midfield three behind the three forward players.

I still fully believe he will take Wilson’s place. Callum will undoubtedly get another injury at some point and when that happens Isak will make the number 9 his own and we’ll never look back.


I think you’re right to a point as Wilson has shown how easily he picks up knocks. To keep him healthy I think you’ll see Isak eased into greater minutes through the middle particularly away from home as I’ve said. Very exciting to see what Isak can do and I’m sure he’ll learn loads from Wilson to improve his game.

Or we might switch to 4-4-2. It was Eddie’s favorite tactic, and Isak can play the deep lying forward role very well. 4-4-2 can be very powerful with all the high pressing and constant off the ball movement that we play.

Interested to see how he'll slot in eventually. I don't mean to jinx it but hopefully he doesn't disrupt our balance :lol: Damn these luxury problems...
