Will be difficult for him against any team that plays with a low block. Bournemouth are one of many that will come do St James's and do exactly that.

 

I still expect him to get a goal today and be involved alot more than the previous 2 games considering we should hopefully have a big chunk more possession than them.

Poor today, but feeding on scraps.

Scraps is being very generous. He wasnt brought in to play at all and the midfield didnt really help out in that regard. Then we have the wide players not fucking able to pass 2 meters to an open player. He did what he could with the shambles of service he got, at least got himself on the board with a calm as fuck pen.

Isak's movement could be a bit better, Shearer pointed it out at half time, but we're not getting him involved enough. If the opposition are putting two on him, someone else should be free and be able to drag them around. In a game with 70% possession and 20 shots, we need our main man to shooting more (three) than our center halves (Schar, also three).

great pen, but his lack of physicality was really on show today. Hes got too much ability on the ball to have him sitting between the 3 CBs all game. that doesnt play to his strengths. Think Howe should have brought on Wood earlier to do the dirty work in the box, and let Isak play a withdrawn role to pick up the ball a bit deeper and let him run at defenders and create.

 

think we'll see the best of him when wilson and ASM are back in the side

He was marked tightly by their defense and he had two useless players playing to his right and left, for a young striker coming into a new league you w\ would ideally liked that those who are more seasoned than him to take some pressure off, but its Almrion and Fraser we are talking about so that puts a huge amount of weight on his shoulders.
