Alexander Isak

[nemtizz]

Struggles when our midfield sucks, surprisingly

[nufc123]

Ice cold display

[ExiledGeordie]

He does look very off it at the moment 

[nemtizz]

Could have easily scored 4 goals last game.

 

Looks off, injured and shit tbh

[mattypnufc]

Poor from him today. Didn’t put himself about. Offered very little. Was given very little in truth, but zero outlet for us. 

[duo]

We don't find him often enough

[Holloway]

Sloppy approach play,could be doing a bit tidier I feel 

[Lush Vlad]

Feels strange to nitpick when they were all so bad. But in this mini run of below par form from him. I often notice he wants an extra touch or two. The chance to get a shot or pass off is then gone. Ends up losing it or misplacing a pass. 
 

I suppose the other side of that is. He has such great feet and dribbling ability that I half get why he sometimes wants the extra bit of time.

He was even worse to start out the season. I suspect that he'll hit form against Ipswitch.

[Ankles Bennett]

Three games in 7 days undid us today and villa is our bogy ground.

[andycap]

He's been patchy since the cup final with his performances. He's a bit like Murphy where within 10 minutes you know if there gonna be at it for the 90 or not. 

[KetsbaiaIsBald]

Shite today. 

[Ikon]

I still maintain the idea that he would be at his best in a 4-2-3-1 . we almost always try and go wide. Would like us to have a Cunha type of player there between midfield and him. 

[Newcastle Fan]

I'm confident he's playing with a groin injury, has not looked himself lately but we don't really have anyone who can come in for him.

Yeah he doesn’t look 100%

[ToonAbroad]

Hopefully a week's rest will do him some good now, hasn't looked fully fit lately. 

[Dr.Spaceman]

He's easily the most affected when the team doesn't play well, that's for sure.

[Andy]

He was poor, but he always looks poor when we get overran and are stretched. To be at his best, we need players in and around him, and the wingers running beyond him. We completely failed to do that today for the most part. 

[Keggy_Keagal]

Isak's not the problem 

[midds]

Looks for all the world like we're just nursing him through to the end of the season, bringing him off as soon as games are decided one way or the other. It's probably a lot more common at this stage of the season than we think and I don't think we've got much choice atm. Just need to rest him and wrap him up and send him out against Ipswich, hopefully we can do a number on them and we can sub him to keep him fresh. We lose him to injury the task of CL gets twice as difficult

Yep not been for weeks , was easy to spot against Leicester .

[Adrian1881]

It stinks that we don't have any replacement or partner for him...could have done better today - but we are here fighting for CL  because of him.

Do we need players in him?
