Optimistic Nut Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 1 minute ago, The College Dropout said: This is what I was getting at. Willock, ASM, Burn there’s a massive gap in talent. And I think all 3 could have a role for some time to come but Isak could be the boy of boys. This is what excites me most about us. There's 3-4 areas at least where we'll probably be able to upgrade pretty massively in the summer, and we're already competing for Europe and cups.

Sempiternal Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 His movement is so elite, and for a skinny guy he rarely gets our muscled. Love him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 He was brilliant today, especially in the first half. Wolves did well to get some blocks in otherwise he could have had a couple more. He played with a real swagger today, think that's when you know he's really up for it. Has to start every game from no until the end of the season.

One of the reasons we arenn't buying make do and mend players IMO, we really need to save our EPL limited funds for elite players, and they aren't that easy to land. But that's what we are aiming for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Him, ASM and Willock linked up together brilliantly. Going by the very limited source material the 3 of them seem quite close in the post match lap thingy. Get them all on the pitch as often as is humanly possible.

Two obvious ones imo but Henry when he was young and gangly, but good in the air, and Ekitike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I’m not sure he’s way trickier than them in tight situations and is quick but not rapid or as direct. He is a bit of a ghost just popping up wherever even when he’s playing 9. Ekitike I’ve nee idea but if you think that then at least we’re targeting player type rather name which is probably a good thing going forward. Genuinely excited to watch him next season with a full preseason and hopefully no injuries behind him with that little bit of adaptation time taken in to account.

Cronky Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Unlike Wilson, he's often able to use his skill to turn round in possession and face a defender. It makes all the difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 As others have mentioned his movement and pace occupies several defenders, that gives Saint and others more room to operate. Forest will come out at us and he’ll be vital and deadly for our counter attacking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he gets up to the teams speed with a run of games now and gets a full pre-season under Hower in the summer. Ideally we have some more players come in to help with the burden Howe's demmands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's relatively similar to Rashford actually, although maybe better playing centrally than off the left. Also arguably better natural movement off the ball.

Think this video got posted back when we signed Isak but for the people who haven't seen it. Also I just wanted to say I disagree with the people still saying Isak needs to be played behind or alongside a classic number 9. Just look at the success Arsenal are having with Trossard and Martinelli interchanging between left wing and central. Even before that, Gabriel Jesus who wouldn't be considered as a classic number 9.
