gbandit Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Thought he was our best player today, just needs to be more clinical. If you could morph his general ability with Wilson’s finishing you’d have a striker to rival Haaland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'd play him off Wilson, almost as a 10, 2 from Gordon, Barnes, Miggy, Murphy wide and Bruno and Tonali as the fabled double pivot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was our most threatening player, but his finishing let him down. No matter how good he is, he's allowed to miss some chances now and again.

toontownman Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Said before, I just don't think he is suited to being a lone central striker. He makes the most impact when he comes wide. Obviously it hasn't helped we offer nothing for support through the middle or passes created for him. I'm not sure we are set up to get the most out of him playing through the middle.

Not blaiming him even though the miss was poor, and I think he could have done better with the first chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked hopeless against deep defences, but lethal against us when we pushed too many players up the pitch without the ability to retain possession.

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 He definitely can play central striker, he's got terrific link up ability as well as having the speed to in behind, but it requires strong runners. We were very good at that season but are much patchier this season (so far). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 He’s oddly snatching at his chances when he’s usually so committed to everything he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 His decision making/final shot was off today - The one where he beats the defender and then passes back to no one, should really have been a simple pass to the back post and a tap in for Gordon - Then there is the one where he is through, rather than keep cutting across the defender and going with his left he shifts back on to the right and let's the defender get back - Then there is the chance that Tonali sets him up with, was at him quite quickly but expect him to do better 3 big moments, all whilst the game was 0-0 which makes it all the more frustrating Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to have that ruthlessness and hit it instead of trying to setup someone else. Ferguson had two cracks at goal and it ended up in the back of the net. I'm sure had Isak pulled the trigger in atleast one of the situations you mentioned, it would have been a goal too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 First one he'd have smashed it first time before the defender gets him if he was confident shooting with his left, I think. Pull back one was a bit unlucky as Tonali did welly it at him, but I'd have bet on Isak to do better by his high standards. Third one I felt like he'd have shot if he hadn't messed up two chances. He's class but thought he was uncharacteristically poor with his chances today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
