Andy Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 He isn't a number 9, so I don't think the answer is to drop Wilson for him. I want to see him, Wilson, Max, Joelinton and Bruno all on the pitch together. That would give teams something to think about, I reckon, as we're too predictable at the moment.

Agreed, and then Wilson really needs to start pulling his weight in that arrangement. If he doesn't, I don't know what to say about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Pinkman Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Would like to see a front 3 of Almirion, Gordon, Isak. Could very tasty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronicfc Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 We need a new number 9 next season Isak to play off him it's the only way forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think Almiron is offering anything at the moment. That amazing form earlier in the season has deserted him. Think he needs a rest out of the team personally. ASM was the much more positive player out of the two of them the last couple of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Isak has been an amazing #9 when he has proper wingers around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I thought Isak was a striker? He should be our main forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that he's our top scorer, which on paper would make him a controversial one to drop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Even though Wilson needs to be dropped, Isak isn’t the answer there. Those saying Gordon, Isak and Miggy should be up front, how lightweight do you want a front line? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people mean he’s not your hold it up and lay it off type of striker. He likes it into space facing the opposition and likes to drift to the wings.

Groundhog63 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Looked really good when he came on imho. Needs starting. Probs instead of Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geogaddi Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Best player when he came on, needs to be given a run in the team now ahead of Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Yeah. He was class. Few Mancs sat behind me. They were commenting between themselves on how good he was and they couldn’t deal with him, glad he didn’t start etc. He has looked best in a bit of a withdrawn role, off the front man. Gets in some really nice positions and just glides about the pitch. But even factoring that in, I think he should be getting a start up top now. Can’t see Howe starting both and changing the system any time soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 His movement is sensational and he’ll only get better as we add better players around him. Has the potential to reach the very top. Looking forward to watching him grow as we grow over the next few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Has to start. A bit baffled reading that he isn’t a striker? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Has to start. He's clearly a far better player than Wilson. I think the plan will be to move to a front three similar to that of Liverpool where you have three players who float about. The traditional number nine is a dying breed.

Jimburst Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Aye, he's got a bit of the Firmino's about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixx Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I want to see 4-4-fucking-2 again with him and Wilson up front and ASM and Almiron out wide. Really liked to see him drop between the lines and get the ball at his feet and he seems to have a good understanding with ASM. I'm also quite confident that Joelinton and Bruno are more than capable of holding down the fort in midfield without Willock/Longstaff. Get Targett in to help ASM on the left wing. Go a bit hell for leather with two strikers. Our formation with a single striker and Trippier acting as a bit of a playmaker from the right back position isn't quite working any more this year. We need to try something different and Isak has to be the key to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberry Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 He needs to start and get extended run. I am not sure i he will start him though unless Wilson get his usual injury set back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
