I immediately knew we had an unbelievable talent! To absolutely skin Robertson, leaving him sliding into a black hole, followed by just gliding past Gomez, and the finish is world class against one of the best GK's. It had a bit of everything. Maybe more just the realisation of what we now had as our top striker, rather than the skill itself, but I just loved the feeling. My favourite player atm, seems like a great character aswell.

Yorkie Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 It's mad how many iconic moments he had in a season which, for him, was so curtailed. I still think he's the best player in the squad; exceptional talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) It was a blessing that his transfer happened as quickly as it did.

wiseman Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Even during Ashley's darkest days we had some exciting strikers like Ba, Cisse, Carroll and Wilson but none of them compare to watching what he can do with the ball.

madras Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I still think there's an issue on where gets the best from him, personally I think with a Wilson type, him just off so he can drift. Don't know how that fits into our thinking though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Isak should be up front, it's his best position and we're better as a team with him there imo. Sheer amount of games will mean Wilson and he will share minutes up front, I don't think starting with Wilson & Isak is the way forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah I did say a Wilson type, no way could Wilson play the amount of games necessary or regularity, I just thought Isak often struggled up front with the way we played. That could well change with a Maddison/Szoboszlai. I just think back to games like Villa and Brentford aways when he was anonymous until Wilson came on. Also he's too good to just play as a through the middle forward which we did tend to do when he was preferred. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 The Liverpool game was incredible. Such cool, relaxed finishes with so much accuracy and power… new to the league and on the big stage.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I'm going with the stance watching the West Ham goal as the favourite, not the most skilful moment but the best. And I think I'm having Ando withdrawal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Oh for sure, I'm not trying to be a revisionist here and suggest it was the norm. But moving forward as we seemingly look to play a more possession-based system and we have to break down teams that park the bus, Isak is so clever on the ball and dropping into pockets he's gotta be starting there for me. But I don't think he'd do well when he's pushing back the defensive line himself when we're already camped in the opposition half. Spearhead of the attack on the break, give and go, but can come deep when we're up the field is how I see him playing to his strengths. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
