I noticed that aswell, I think he tunnel visioned and assumed that he was on his own. Edited September 1 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, playing every minute this season got to his legs a bit today. 2 weeks off now hopefully, will Wilson be able to come on for minutes going forward, and that will help take the load off him a bit. He's playing Thursday and Sunday for Sweden next week Could really do with Wilson back so we don't have to play him for every minute of every game, and maybe give him a full game off against Wimbledon.

I saw pulled put of the Sweden squad and thought it was Isak, reading this had made me realise it must have been Krafth.🤦🏿 I agree though we need Wilson back, and I've hoped for draws like Wimbledon I'm early cup games, so we have the chance to drop the likes of Sanusi and Osula in with most of the main guys and still have a great chance to go through.

Mattoon Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 For context I met up with some Liverpool mates for the 4pm kick off and we were talking about our game, the consensus of opinion was that Isak was unbelievable with the little he got of the ball, world class in fact.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Yeah imagine if he scored the chip in the first half. Hes playing the lone striker role for a team struggling for possession/ footholds in the game. It’s a hard job for any striker but for a guy of his talent it must be irritating.

In terms of showing him at his finest. Been thinking this but was reluctant to post it 😛 Our style could change into something quite different but on the basis of most of last season and our games so far, as great as he is, we’re wrong for each other. Think we could really do with a striker who can hold the ball up for a lot longer as we’re very slow to support them. Would help us get up the pitch. Anyway, let’s see if we start to play more towards his strengths 🤞🏼 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought that one of the reasons for bringing in Osula would be to take minutes off of Isak when Wilson is out. Like when Isak is getting really tired, and we are up by a goal or so.

He wants to have some time with the new players(atleast the young ones) before he gives them time on the pitch.

Vaj Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Even if Wilson is not ready for Wimbledon we need to start Osula with Isak on the bench just in case. Don't want to flog him to death. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Lots of chat about Gordon in contract talks, but wasn't Isak at the beginning of the summer. I wonder if it's been agreed and they're waiting to announce it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the (small number of) games we've had so far have been too tight for Eddie to want to throw him on, and I don't blame him as things stand. Don't want to Tomasson him. Hopefully he'll get 45 minutes against Wimbledon. Can see that happening, with Wilson (also hopefully) starting the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I wouldn't waste a start on Wilson for Wimbledon. They are precious so need to be used sparingly when it matters more Start Osula, throw in Wilson in the second half if we need a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe will be going for it though, so it'll be him or Isak, I reckon... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankpingel Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Good game from Isak, involved in most of Sweden's dangerous attacks either in the building up or final opportunity. And just scored as I write. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
