Isak "can" play in goal, but he shouldn't.

 

He's our record signing and one of the most promising strikers in Europe. Putting him at LW is stupid when he's needed at CF and we have others who can play out wide.

 

"Isak LW" seems to be the new "Schar / Coloccini DM". And it's no less sensible.

 

People shoehorning him into their imaginary FM line-ups to have both him and Wilson playing at the same time is getting incredibly boring. It'll be a fun meme in 10 years time though.

What a pisser.

Injuries are the fly in the ointment. I'm placated but for that.

Suppose this is the least vulnerable area albeit that brings fatigue into it for the others now.

Poor lad. Just as he was settling in to the team. Its a long season, so I'm sure he'll have a role to play later in the season.

 

I was just thinking about Wilson vs Isak and had Barnes in my Wilson front three. It was Murphy/Gordon Wilson and Barnes, focusing on supply to Wilson as a box striker.

Isak drops deep and links play, so it occurred to me that we could rotate to playing wide forwards. Such as Miggy Isak Joelinton/Gordon. 

This all assumes everyone is fit and available, of course, and was just a bit of fun. They're all good players in whatever setup.

I don't fully buy the "well stocked" angle.

 

We are competing in 4 competitions and already have injuries.

 

Gordon needs a rest on Weds. I expect Isak to start up top. So we're looking at Anderson LW, Isak, Murphy.

 

It won't be so bad once we have the two Joes back, but yes at the moment, it does put a lot of work on the shoulders of Gordon.

Really shame for him like, and for Gordon who will now have to play every minute until next year :lol:

With the Joes for the left and Miggy and Murphy on the right. Gordon can play either. Think we’ll be ok.

Very much a shame though.

Anderson and Isak can also operate there if required

I know its not a "good" thing but it also might not be the worst. Howe said himself that players benefit from just being able to observe the way we do things. I honestly don't think Barnes had hit the ground running anyway.

 

Give us a quality second half of the year Harvey lad. :thup:
