Wait what? It was our only good player's fault. That's an interesting take.
Yes. If he didn’t get himself sent off we beat Palace. Swings and roundabouts with form and at the moment he’s the form player and stupidly caused to have to shuffle the deck.
You’re saying if he had been available for Palace, we absolutely would have won?
Fair play, but I think it’s a little bit of a stretch to say we absolutely would have won.
Would we have had a better chance? Absolutely.
But then would Chiesa still have played if Hugo were selected. Not sure, and Chiesa did well.
I think you can probably put some of the blame on the two 100m+ attackers as well as the 450k a week one. I mean obviously the one guy who wasn't playing should take all the blame though.
Absolutely he should. Idiotic.
You couldn't make it up.

With every start I get more confused to why we signed Isak.
Front 2 next year imo
Very impressive guy. Tremendous player, modest with it and his English is every bit as good as my French.
He’s my favourite player since Sadio.
Because we needed two strikers, one with pedigree from the league. There was No guarantee how Ekitike would adapt
Yeah, having 2 boss strikers isn't a bad thing!
Having one boss one and an unfit/injured one isn’t.
Now plot that on a 7 year timeline !
You want me to list ALL of Isak’s injuries? That’s a long list.
He is here, and I can plot his lack of fitness and injuries quite easily. I can also point to him being part of the unbalance in our team. None of that changes my confusing on why we signed another forward, for a record breaking fee, when we had someone else already through the door. We have replaced Nunez twice and not Jota.
How can we get both in the same side and squeeze in Salah plus Wirtz? I think that’s impossible if you want a functioning side.

We lost Nunez, Jota and Diaz. I don't see any issues with 2 in the door. Especially with their versatility (both can play LW too). What would you expect us to do with 60+ matches a year and only one CF?! And if he's injured (cf. Isak)?
As for the price. To me that's immaterial. We wanted a top CF and a player whose trajectory suggests he could be a top CF. We got two. Whoopee !
I still think we should have done a "Caicedo" with Isak, and put that 140m into 3 other players . One could have been a lowest cost striker, but two should have been in the CB/CM space.
Let's see. I still think Isak is suited to a team that does fast breaks, and we get an increasingly lower number of these. Tekkers is well suited to a low block

Not buying Isak doesn’t mean we don’t buy anyone. That money could’ve got Guehi over the line and added a DM, LW and back-up forward.
Obviously we'll see how it goes, but if we kept the powder dry for a move for Alvarez next year, it could have been an option.
Fofana, guehi, random backup striker all together could have been Isak money and we would be in a much better shape.
Im hopeful it'll work out, but Isaks injury record was always a worry.

Because we signed Isak for post salah times? I thought that was obvious? I don’t think I am wrong there.
And as I said above, Isak proven in the league, Hugo more of a wild card in how long adaptation would take.
Salah is here for another season and three quarters. Isak was proven in a side that plays completely different to us so was also somewhat a wild card.
