Is anyone giving him stick? I think we all love him tbh, he's had a fantastic first season considering he had a lengthy injury in the middle, he's made a huge difference to the side since he came back in. The question mark is over Gordon, who hasn't had a chance to prove himself yet, which will hopefully come next season.
I like Wilson leading the line. He controls defenders and holds the ball up well. This allows us to bring more players into the final third. Isak is class. I would like to see them operate as a two rather than have him on the left. He gets isolated over there as we still favour the right hand side when attacking. Would help if we had a more competent attacking left back to assist. If Tripps was on the left, Isak would be a demon.
Isak I think will be first choice TBH. I think he can do a lot more with the ball at his feet and he can be just as deadly in front of goal as Wilson can if given the opportunity. 10 goals in 20 but also a few of those were cameos and also a few games we was playing as a LW. The only reason Wilson has scored more this season is just simply more opportunity IMO. But it will be good to rotate them
Isak cost £63M so the expectation has to be that he will start. I just like what Wilson does for the team. They play well together so would personally like to see them play up top together. Isak drifting around Wilson in the centre would be devastatin
They are both playing scoring goals and getting assists.... I don't understand why people are so bothered. Fans definitely fancy certain players imo.
True however that doesn't mean it is not a topic for discussion. I like them both playing together in the same team but think as a two up top suits their attributes much better. One needs the other though.
Every time they've been on the pitch together they've done well but the intelligentsia decided to look at only the two starts and ignore the numerous times it's worked extremely well. It either works or it doesn't whether it's been off the bench together or not... a recipe either works or it does not. Discusson of course mate and howe can chop and change things anyway because that'll be the only way fwd now and I'd imagine the summer will see another influx of players in all areas. The fans tend to want to rip up the team sheet as soon as the side loses a game and It’s really not the way to do things.
This - however a 3rd striker/CF would be useful If we start both Wilson and Isak, we're a bit light for options to change things around if needed
No way should be go into next season with the plan being start Isak and Wilson together. They'll need to be rotated. 3rd choice striker is essential.
Isak/ ASM left, Wilson/ Sesko central, Gordon/Diaby right - with Almiron/Murphy rotated in and out. Gives us a ton of options.
Isak in the middle and Wilson as the threat off the bench. This bullshit of Isak on the wing is doing nowt for me and I feel Howe was forced into it.
Apart from 2 of those mentioned aren’t our players and very unlikely to be our players ….. other than that why not Haaland, neymar and mbappe as a front 3 with messi, diaby and Dembele as back up?
They won’t be. Maddison to spurs seems fine and I’d rather have Mac Allister and Thurams for a fraction of the cost
