100% on the midfield but it sounds as if Isak is 50/50 for Saturday - not sure why he came off as I didn't see the game but if he made it to HT it can't of been a major issue?

If Isak isn't fit who goes up top? Gordon through the middle losses something, also means Murphy would start... Osula in line for a run out but having not featured rather see him off the bench tbh. Would anyone have a look at Joelinton up top again as a target man? Using him as a bit of a battering ram could work and he arrived as a striker but is a different beast now to the 22 year old who arrived and looked lost up top on his own. With players like Barnes, Gordon, Willock, Tonali all getting around him from the midfield think he could be an option but hopefully Isak is fit.
Broken nose,put a mask on him and he'll be grand.

Jesus he broke his nose! <laugh>

Fair play to making it to HT. Yeah he should be fine for Saturday I'd imagine.

Would like to see Joelinton back up top just as a target man just to see his strength and physicality up top - especially while he's having a funny patch of form from CM - been weird start to the season for him - epic vs Saints, awful vs Bournemouth, better vs Forest and Spurs and then hooked at HT vs Wolves...
 
I don't believe he broke his nose.. there was no evidence of blood....I heard he was complaining of blurred vision so was taken off.

Tbf that's not a bad shout. We do have a need there to get Isak some more support. If it's not working then switch it up. He'll certainly rough their defenders up a bit at a minimum and his finishing is better than it was before he was moved into midfield.
