Alexander Isak

[Cristov]

Would love to see back 3 and AG playing a kind of free role behind Isak going left, right and centre. Except I'm no expert and be in bottom 3 by now probably. No Barnes in either 11 which I'm pritty bummed about, was trying to shoe horn him in wherever I could.

Isak shouldn’t be played anywhere but CF, no ifs or buts for me. He isn’t a 10 just because he’s got great technical ability. Having said that, we could use someone playing/being great between him and our CM exploiting space between the lines. Not necessarily a #10 but an attacking midfielder of some sort. Technical and creative one with great composure on the ball. That would give Isak way more space as well as dragging the opposition out of shape. Not just that, but also give both Bruno and Tonali a closer option to play “breaking the lines” type of passes without forcing Isak too deep as we’d have a long between. Both Bruno and Sandro are great at these sort of passes and I’d like to see us exploit this more by  having a bit more of a triangular shape in midfield to give us some depth and not just look to get ball out wide all the time. Despite his technical ability Isak isn’t at his best/consistent when it comes to going deep with his back to goal. Leave him as high up as possible.
