Alexander Isak

[nemtizz]

Head's been turned marra

[Gallowgate Toon]

Selection of finishes at the minute is canny off. Feathered quite a few volleys where he doesn't really need to hit it first time.

[nufc123]

Ice cold again.

[Menace]

Those half volleys he tries every game are really annoying. He's obviously gassed but we can't drop him

[Miggys First Goal]

Should actually cash in on him. 

[Ketsbaia]

Coped well without him today

[Displayname]

Has been relied upon too long. Desperatly need someone to come in this summer to give him some rest when needed. 

[Lush Vlad]

He’s been miles off it since the final. Has to be playing through something. As I’m not having it’s all down to form or our service to him. 

[The College Dropout]

Been pap for some time. 

[M1tche]

Weird displays from him of late, hopefully he gets his shooting boots back on next week, as I feel we'll need to to finish 1 of the chances we create him at Arsenal

[Newcastle Fan]

He's been poor lately but today he almost looked disinterested, at times he was just standing there not trying to do anything when it was 1-0 and they had the ball, and when he did get chances he did not look confident at all of scoring.

Clearly seems to be carrying a niggle.

He was constantly chasing down there goalie to be fair,A few times he wanted the through ball aswell 

 

He grafted

[The College Dropout]

Aye he did his bit off the ball. No complaints about graft.  His touch and decisions have been poor for some time. Didn’t have any good efforts on goal. 

[Smal]

I thought his link up play and lay-offs were generally good actually. 

 

He is doing some bizarre stuff in front of goal though. This volley he's go into the habit of doing where he leans back and slices it with the outside/top of his boot needs to end ASAP.

[huss9]

love him but it was like playing with 10 men second half.

osula for the last 15 minutes may relieved some of the pressure.

[Keggy_Keagal]

Saving it for the Arsenal game.

[Alberto2005]

He's injured surely? I don't believe this is down to just a lack of form.

[duo]

He's not getting great service tbf - the chances he is getting aren't always the easiest.  We just expect him to always score them cause he's Isak.

[Lotus]

Think he’d do a little better if we played through the middle more but we’re not set up for that. 
Looks a little low on confidence atm. 
Hopefully he terrifies Arsenal.

Yeah was about to mention this, almost seems like whatever happened is still affecting him

[Civetty]

Might be injuries, but the guy is also not as ice cold as many people here like to think I believe. Both in Sweden and Real Sociedad, and even here he seem to struggle with demons in his head a lot when he havn't scored in a while.

He scored last week. And the week before.

He clearly tweaked something when he attempted that twisting behind him finish towalds the end of the final and hasn't been right since that moment.
