Really curious that the boss has something in mind to play them both and effectively. Potentially goals all day if there's a way to make it work and get the best out of both of them. If he gets the balance right, and manages Wilson correctly with bench time .. it could rain goals imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know much about his record on heading the ball but I imagine it’s an area he can improve on as younger strikers are often weaker in that area (Andy Carroll aside) What does 'unicorn player' mean?

Specifically in Isak’s case it would refer to the fact that he’s got height, exceptional dribbling ability and pace as well as great technical ability in striking a ball. I think the thing that makes him particularly unique regarding those traits is his height as normally someone his size wouldn’t be as pacy and technically gifted at dribbling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Chris Waddle springs to mind in terms of being rangy and technically gifted as well as an exceptional striker of a ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 No use being tall if you don't use it to your advantage. A few times he didn't even contest a header Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few times he didn't even contest a header Because he is tall doesn’t mean he has to be good at this and that. Wouldn’t change anything about his style to make him better in the air. Also he beat VVD in the air at least once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Shocking miss, should be scoring those every time. Played very well despite that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think his touch before the shot got the ball too much in between his feet, but still got to be finishing it. Agree, he had a good game overall though. Good to see that didn't get his head down and there were some really nice bits of link up play. He'll thrive when Bruno's back in the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Brilliant pass for Willock in the 2nd half. Less said about his attempt in the first half the better (though to be fair to him he made it himself with his pressing) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
