365 have him 4/1 for 2+ SoT on Saturday which is miles better than anywhere else

Those odds will still reflect the good possibility that he won't start. I'd jump straight on that as soon as the teams are announced should he start.

In my uneducated opinion he seems to focus a lot on the strike of the ball and a bit more relaxed on where he's aiming it. He always seems to strike the ball very cleanly and with decent power. 

 

Boggles the mind how Joelinton's massive frame can't strike a ball more than 9 miles an hour and someone like Robert seemingly had horseshoes in his boots :lol:

Yeah it's a weird one. Same with punching, it's really hard to quantify "power" some guys have it and others just don't, doesn't seem to be tied to physique that much either.

Isak reminds me a bit of Cisse in terms of build and technique, although he has better movement and control etc.

 

He is very relaxed when he strikes the ball and generates a super clean strike.

 

If you watch slow-mo of Cisse it's like his kicking leg is tense and the rest of his body is meditating :lol:

Been a lot of discussions on Isak and where he can play on here.

 

Howe clears it all up at the 6 minute mark. Enjoy.

 

 

Spoiler alert: he says he can play number nine, support striker, or out wide, particularly from the left, even though that wouldn't be his "preferred position".

Too early to say his heading may not be one of his strong points?

 

Was hard to get any power on that tonight bf. He started making a run to the front post anticipating Trippier crossing it on the deck first time but he took a couple more touches and by the time the cross come in he was probably underneath the trajectory of the ball. Hard to get any power on that.

 

Probably should've scored v Sheff Wed mind, though that header probably still beats the keeper more times and not given the bounce.

It's time for Isak to be the main man now, i reckon Eddie will think so aswell.

 

Isak will start both cup games, and probably against West Ham.

 

Wilson is a great back up if he's fit.

This. Wilson has been well off the boil since the WC.
