TaylorJ_01 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 his left foot is minging, and haven't seen him get a clean pass or shot away yet on either foot. Quite embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We overpaid, but didn’t have much else as an option. Still early days imo. He did look way off it tonight. Partly why the suggestion of giving some pitch time on the wing where he played really well for Brentford and has a little less pressure. There's just something about the way he plays up top that I can't put my finger on but just doesn't feel right for a number 9 in our formation. If I had to choose between Wissa and Wolt to take a punt on and built the teal around it's the big German even though they've both got flaws. He will score a few goals, but they will be opportunistic ones in and around the 6 yard box and not where he's a focus of a play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s that bit of class and composure we would see from Isak and Wilson. I do like Wissa. But I’m not sure he’s Wilson or Ba level which is not great considering the money spent. Let’s see. I do like him. He will score for us. Today we just needed that bit of quality you hope you get for £55m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall they were not at the top of our list of targets. We settled/panicked. Really bad day at the office for our strikers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Joel Inton Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Snatching at chances and visibly desperate for a goal or two. He’ll come good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Not convinced by him tbh. Snatched at early chances twice in a couple days and seems to almost live offside. Edited January 13 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 With top strikers you can almost see them take a second - a pause - steady themselves - almost exhale before they shoot. Aguero would stamp his standing leg firmly down. Kane sometimes pauses or takes small steps. Isak has the uncanny ability to sort his feet out. Mbappe does a pause too. Tonight Wissa rushed everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) He is another on a long list of NUFC players who isn’t the best on the ball. His touch, link up play and passing is often lacking. Offside as much as Cisse and all. But he does suit the system and helps stretch the play. I think he’ll be far better next season with some proper time on the training pitch to get up to speed. Fitness wise and also getting used to the tactics and his role. Edited January 13 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J7 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 He’s just an OK Premier League striker. He may be the Wilson replacement, but I don’t think he’s as good as Wilson was a few seasons ago for us. I don’t think our ‘system’ is kind on whoever we’re putting up top though given the wingers are usually line hugging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offsides. Great movement when not offside. Snatching. So he’s due a crazy purple patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Clinging to the idea that he's actually good based on his PL history and that he's just rusty as fuck and lacking sharpness being dropped in the side mid-season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Disappointing so far, despite the goals scored. I'm more disappointed by him not getting shots on target (42% in four seasons at Brentford) than the linkup play, but yeah, he's probably snatching at them. Its also still a small sample.

kenlau88210 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Been consistently fluffing chances in recent games. His pressing also seems quite half arsed. Disappointing to say the least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Very surprised by just how shite he's played the last two times I've seen him; certainly wasn't expecting him to look so rusty. We really, really could do without it too because his arrival into the team was supposed to give us an uptick after Woltemade, bless him, clearly needed sitting down. I can't believe he won't come good though. He's got great instincts and forces us up the field. Standard that a guaranteed provider of assists (Murphy) is now injured.

Kid Icarus Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Out of the signings that haven't hit the ground running yet, Wissa's definitely the one I'm least worried about. Like a lot of players he's a bit streaky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Lead the press well and provided plenty of good movement. Poor on the ball though, snatched at an early effort and fluffed a through ball to Gordon. Cracking save from Trafford for his header, so a bit unlucky too.

Big Geordie Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Too soon to write off - he needs a good run in the side, given he missed out on pre-season and then picked up the injury. He will be ok Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
