Erikse Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Just to clarify I'm not questioning his talent (obviously), it's more about the consistency. The best players are consistent. I know he's probably tired and all that. But it's allways been a little bit on and off. Edited December 7, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I'd suggest the lad isn't fully fit and is having to play out of necessity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Every pass was either 5ft Infront of him or behind him, I don't know what else he's supposed to do. Miley had a chance to play him through and shot to row z. We're not utilising him as we should Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geogaddi Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Not his sort of game at all that , he's not suited to playing as a centre forward against a big physical team like Everton . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 His fitness is evidently a struggle at the moment. We've seen far less of the individual brilliance we saw from him last season - the explosiveness and gliding past players has been far less, as well as less general inventiveness. It's there in flashes but his touch is less consistent and he can dawdle on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 He didn’t even really get many chances to shoot on goal. hes heading or dribbling or passing at the moment. When he shoot’s he often scores. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he’s even fashioning half chances out of what he’s being given is testament to his skill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Isak has a good supply line, it's the exact reason Wilson has so many goals for us this year too when available. Contrary to opinion, we're generally a creative side and good for our forwards. Iirc, Isak has 17 league goals for us in the equivalent of 25 90s. There are very few attackers in the world with as good a record. I think he's pretty much in-line with his xg too for any stats nerds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were insane runs he was making with space and the pass was behind or intercepted tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trippier isn’t on a par with Isak. Isak is more talented and more importantly, significantly younger so yes overall, Isak is more important to us But Trippier has more often than not been our best player this season, and our style of play revolves around him a lot in possession. I'm sure as well he was statistically the best RB in the prem last season, as well as in the European team of the season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
janpawel Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Also Bruno for me as potential to be world class, maybe already is in that I think he could fit in several top teams Whilst he isn't the most athletic, his ability to receive the ball under pressure and either play a pass to start a phase of play, or draw a foul to allow us to reset / move up the pitch is as good as it gets imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
