Right now, yes, or him up with Gordon in behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Not sure about Isak as SOM, but I think Gordon could work there. Isak at SOM would be like playing 4-2-2-2 or 4-4-2. I'd personally like to see Isak up front and Gordon in behind. Joelinton left. Edited September 3, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonesJones Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 The chip against Villa is up for goal of the month. https://www.premierleague.com/news/3660247 Hes up against some good competition though, but I think the technique for his is the most difficult, something not many players can pull off. Mitoma's is like HBA and I also liked the Gustavo Hamer one, it just looks cool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue for Isak is that he is completely isolated up top with how we set up in midfield, if he does drop deep then he isn’t playing on the shoulder which is where we try to feed him in quite a bit. We set up kind of like a teardrop shape, with Bruno at the base and then Joelinton and Tonali slightly more advanced but quite wide, then Gordon and Almiron even further forward and wider with Isak isolated all on his own up top. This leaves a huge gap in behind him that is very rarely filled by any of our players. I would look at going with a midfield of Bruno and Tonali as the double pivot and I would be interested in seeing what Barnes would be like in that role behind Isak, as the danger for the opposition would be that if they follow Isak deep he links up with Barnes for the 1-2 overlap, which is how HB gets a high number of his goals. I feel sorry for Isak, if he was in Arsenal’s team he would live up to his potential how they set up to support the striker. I’m not sure he will here apart from the odd moments of magic with how we set up currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the Bruno thread, if he was given that role for us he could feed Isak all day with those line splitting passes, we really do need a new player to sit deep and free up Bruno.

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 He was isolated against City and Liverpool but we're usually very good at supporting the striker in our shape. We often have a line of 5 attacking in and around the box, sometimes even 6. And that's usually anchored by Bruno as well. I'd like to see 4-2-3-1 used more in some games this season though. If we're going to have more tight matches than last season then I expect it'll get quite a few airings as we push for the win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 First time in what must be 5 years or so that Wilson has had a long period without injury. Any guesses as to why that is? Besides, it's nice to play players like Isak in their best position while also having options on the bench and the possibility to keep them both fresh when we start getting 2 games a week soon. ....and if that frontline struggles to get a result - what do Howe do to change things up? I do think however that we should have a plan for when we are desperate for a goal where we have both Isak & Wilson as a front 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear if we bought into a system like this then it wouldn't be long before Wilson is out for a while with an injury. I think rotating Wilson could see him available for the whole season.

buzza Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Personally, I would prefer to see the team set out in a 4-1-4-1: -----------------------Pope--------------------------- Tripps-----Schar--------Botman-------------Burn- ------------------Tonali-------------------------- Gordon ------Bruno--------Isak------Big Joe -------------------Wilson----------------- Have Isak and Big Joe rotating.
