His first touch before the first goal got me feeling a way. This kid's different 

There was one in the first half I think. Leathered at him. He caressed it like a cat.  
 

His movement is great. Drops deep to link.  He won headers and held it up pretty well. Didn’t get any chances today but he’ll get goals. QUALITY player.

Imagine where we'd be if he hadn't that unfortunate injury

 

He's just got that extra bit of quality, which is what you pay extra for of course, but he's only going to get better at his young age

He's surprisingly competitive in the air, been a pleasant surprise as I assumed with his build and style of play he'd be not up to much.

 

Quality headed goal against Wolves, drew the penalty against Forest with a header and had a decent chance today.

 

Really looks like he has it all as a CF prospect, already a very good player and looks like he'll only get better and better.

I was telling my friend before the Notts game. Newcastle strikers aren’t as good footballers as he is. Demba Ba was an assassin and a hard worker. Wilson has the sniff and has real pace. Remy could cut in from wide, pace and movement. Carroll was dominant in the air.  But Isak? He can can drop deep and link up play. Dribble into space. Beat a man with a shoulder drop. Has a trick or 3. Quick.  Can score a header. Delightful touch. Movement. This is a baller the likes that I haven’t seen at SJP since Shearer.

Me granda's first time seeing him, said he hasn't enjoyed watching a number 9 like him since Len White. Got his pace, ball control, dribbling skills and intelligence he said. Have to take his word for it given the lack of footage, but bliddy hell.

He’s fucking sensational like. The build up for the first goal, the first touch and then killer pass is sublime. 

 

The quality he has on ball, along with ridiculous work rate is something special.

 

Arise, Sir Alex.

He's the perfect proponent of how much difference top class technique can make to a team. 

 

His first touch is pure silk. 

 

Loved his reaction when Willock skied that cut back from ASM

Still can't believe he plays for us. Has made such a difference with his smart link up play and work rate. Has shown that he has potentially to be a top class CF rather than a winger as I wasn't sure earlier in the season.
