Sean Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) Reminds me of a good old fashioned 90s centre mid. Hard as nails, full of running, good at both ends of the pitch. And can put his laces through the ball. Edited April 15 by Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 His run at the end whilst mightly impressive, I'd rather he didn't at 4:1 up with minutes remaining and 2 more games in quick succession to follow. Would rather he saved his legs as much as possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour has it that he was pretty beloved at Milan to. A tough start with us, but that was probably because of certain reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hovagod Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Not sure he’s quite where Isak is personally. I love him deeply but with Isak we need to accept (wrong word- realise?) that we have chanced into a player that will go down in history as one of the best.

LionOfGosforth Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Think we're already at the point where it's impossible to imagine our midfield without him. He brings the engine and athleticism but adds technical ability, game intelligence and an almost English-like drive and passion that elevates the midfield to another level. Seems to have the best qualities of all the great English midfielders down the years allied to Italian traits you don't often see. Like an Italian Robson. Gets up and down the pitch, tackles, give and go's, gees up the crowds. Oh and he scores goals too. Fuck me, what do we have here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just had a bit excess energy to burn, and time was running out 😉 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) How many people are you talking about? My buddy and his friends thought he was a Gattuso but with significantly more techincal ability, but also thought that he could adapt anywhere in the center of midfield. Their forums had a significant number of people who thought they were losing a gem. Sounds like you are generalizing a bit. It reminds me a bit of Draymond Green claiming that everyone doubted the Warriors in 2019, after they just won 3 of 4 championships.
