Gallowgate Toon Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 He got a bit of a second wind for a few minutes before he came off but there was a short spell towards the end of the first half where he was barely moving Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else notice that?) his movement got to the point I was worried he was injured. Think when he knew Wilson was being prepared to come on he gave one last push to get through.

I think you're probably underappreciating just how obsessive I get whenever we're linked with a player They have a lot of similarities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I forgot about the clocks going off, everyone panicking in the corner towards the end of the game not knowing how long left and unable to get an accurate time due to lack of phone signal.

Ha aye, I was lucky in that I happened to look at my watch just as the second half started, so knew roughly 6:20pm would be 90mins. Was a pain not having easy access to the time left though.

Sempiternal Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 His build is quite unique for the position, he really is slim, when you see him live it’s very noticeable, his legs are tiny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 2 hours ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: I think he's relatively similar to Rashford actually, although maybe better playing centrally than off the left. Also arguably better natural movement off the ball. Much more mature movement at ST than Rashford. The comparison is Titi The Great. What he needs is his Bergkamp. Someone with his ability and wave length. Isak would kill alongside an Odegaard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 It's difficult not to be excited by him. Liverpool away, his cameo at Southampton and today he looked unplayable at times. He has all the tools of a world class footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was no slight on him — he’s very fit. Not sure what to make of this quote or what Isak is meant to make of it. I don't think its unreasonable at all. If you look at how we played 2nd half of last season versus how we play this season, it took the squad as a whole months to get fit enough to play Howe's way. Isak's only been here since the summer and missed a decent chunk with injury so not surprised it's taking time to get him up to speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of JM, we aren’t linked with any. Isak is a BALLER. Bruno is a baller. 2 to 3 of these in midfield/attack and we are a serious serious outfit.
