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...

Much rather a striker that hits the target than one that doesn't, he's got 3 in 4 for us, let him carry on 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.

I'd jump straight on that as soon as the teams are announced should he start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) 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 Edited January 20, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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".
