What is going so badly that has to change like you said, in order for him to stay. This is so weird. We’re not getting anywhere near the best out of him. It’s not that difficult to comprehend.

KaKa Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 After last season everyone was raving about how well Isak had done and how good he looked, both our fans and others alike. Now a few games in and things have to change or he will be off. Kind of embarrassing really, and pretty ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re just saying the team needs to built around him going forward - plenty of other CL teams would be willing to, and love to, do that - very far from “things have to change or he’s off”. He’ll be that good. Edited September 18, 2023 by cubaricho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we are building around him already so no idea why you'd say that we 'need' to do that. Edited September 18, 2023 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) I had a whole post typed up about how what he said and what’s you’re saying are different but can’t even be bothered to post it, let alone take part in the debate that would ensue. You’re right. As always. Never change Kaka. Edited September 18, 2023 by cubaricho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) It's not a big deal man. Just have no idea why you'd say no one said that, as if I was just making stuff up. Isak had a very good first season. I'm pretty sure he'll be even better this year. However he is going to be rotated with Wilson as both are good enough to start, but more importantly had injury problems last season, so it makes sense. Seems a few tough games and him being rotated has people saying we aren't building around him or getting the best of him, which is incredibly reactionary.

Wallsendmag Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Thought he looked really uninterested tonight. Not sure if he's sulking a bit but he just didn't seem quite right to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny1403 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I love him but he was dreadful tonight, was screaming for Barnes to come on earlier. Lost the ball so many times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Nowhere near as bad as people are saying, Milan marked him brilliantly and forced him to come very deep to even get the ball. We just don't have a creative bone in our midfield either, which doesn't help. Howe leaving him on 15 minutes too long makes him look even worse, he was dead on his feet.

STM Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Was absolutely shocking in the second half. Wasn't tracking back, couldn't keep the ball, was very lazy. No excuses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulinho Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Ship him out - lazy, uninterested, arrogant. If you can’t score with the level of service we’re providing for him right now there’s no hope. We need a big strong Englishman up front instead.

Beren Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Since the Aston Villa game this year, he's just been plastered with man marking when we're in possession, having to drop to our defensive third to get the ball. Definitely missing someone to link up with higher up the pitch. Think maybe we should try playing Isak just off Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Have no issue with the performance for the most part, but he needed to come off 15+ minutes earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Having a no support from midfield is a bit of a problem for him and us. So often way too isolated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s suffering massively from our dysfunctional midfield, the gulf left by Wilock is huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Had a really poor game and we are not getting the best out of him at the moment. But he doesnt get any help either. Hes so isolated at top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, sure he shouldn't be fatigued, but I don't really think you get to decide whether he is or isn't fatigued. Him not playing at the weekend should've helped, sure, but he's not a robot. People get fatigued for all manner of reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
