Fulham were very well organised and so hard to break down. ASM and Isak just unsettled them that bit and we were getting that bit more space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almiron was also on at that time I don't think Bruno and Isak have ever been on the pitch together sadly, when Isak joined it coincided with Bruno's injury, then when he returned Isak got injured. At Sheffield Wed, Isak started but Bruno on bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Sheffield Wed, Isak started but Bruno on bench. Just checked - the sum total of play where Bruno and Isak have been on the same pitch together is the last 12 minutes of Leicester in the Carabao.

Guest Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) He seems to have had at least 2 very good chances in each of his appearances other than the Leicester late cameo. Some that he's made for himself. His movement is superb. Edited January 16, 2023 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonScotman Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Don’t understand why some folk want him in behind Wilson as that limits his opportunities to get in behind with passes from Bruno and the midfield. Just like his goal at Liverpool, for me get in from the start up top and he’ll deliver. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked him playing a bit behind Wilson as he is tailor made for battling defenders and the more physical stuff. Isak definitely better playing a bit deeper and picking up the ball and turning. Good dribbler too but his best quality is an almost ethereal movement, you barely notice him and he's suddenly there in the right spot.

The College Dropout Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Aye seems to enjoy getting on the ball in deep positions and running at defences. At home against deep lines, I think that's a great role for him. Away from home, perhaps more likely to play uptop or as a wide forward. But doesn't look like a lone forward.

Ikon Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) So happy that it was him scoring the match winning goal. Makes a massive difference going forward for him.

Stottie Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Apologies if Giggs, but a fbref reckons Isak's career shot-on-target percentage is 58%. This is extremely high. 40% or so is typical. His goals per shot or per shot on target are not especially high, so it's better to say that he regularly works the keeper rather than is clinical. This is something our coaches will probably work on, making him aim for the corners more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Fbref actually has a mistake and the real number is 50%, which is still very high, as in Mbappe/Haaland level. 58% would be no. 1 in Europe Harry Kane is 42% since 2016. My other Isak observation would be he seems to be very good at losing his marker, or "moving into space" or "exploiting the half spaces" or whatever you want to call it.
