Conjo Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Was Zabaleta and Hart ever as good for Man City as Trippier and Pope is for us? My memory of them maybe clouded by their stint at West Ham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 God his contribution to the first goal was so good. I made this point after Forest but it's so clear that he's got an incredibly quick football brain, but the quality to execute what he wants to do as well; and that's a deadly combination. A worse player maybe doesn't see the run from Bruno and even if they do, they might not execute the pass through the gap and with the perfect weight on it. It was superb from Bruno as well obviously but Isak really put it on a plate. Such a class goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 yeah, his control and quality in tight areas is absolutely elite tier. Very exciting because we have the midfielders and wingers to thrive off that ability. For the first goal on Sunday, both Willock and Bruno's movement off him is the prime example of that. Really good to have two different forwards like Isak and Wilson to choose from as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has great balance and turns very quickly and has quick feet when handling the ball. He doesn’t need a lot of space as he’s very good in tight situations and has great agility as well as technical ability. You will see some of the turns soon in tight spaces and think wow! Seen people talk about him bulking up and all that shite. Expand Edited April 4, 2023 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If we end up qualifying for the Champions League you'd be hard pressed to find a more pivotal moment than the point he reached full fitness. We were on a downward curve and looking increasingly blunt before that moment. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say he's rejuvenated almost everything about our attacking play; even our press, which had become less effective, is looking vicious again.

CPL Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) I had a random thought that if we some how had Isak with Bruce in charge. Bruce would have rushed him back from injury at the start of the season and therefore obviously misses large chunks of the season. Bruce uses that excuse numerous times of why we are failing to covert our 2 chances per game hence why we are in a relegation battle. Then I woke up from the nightmare.
