Isakly what we need

To the tune of Rhythm is a Dancer
Isak is a Striker, he can score from anywhere
You know he is our number 9, defenders full of scare
Lift your hands and voices,
Chant his name in chorus
He will scare the opposition
Oh-oh, his name Isak
Oh-oh, he will play with Passion
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh"

If we're going early 90s dance-pop, then don't overcomplicate things and just keep it simple - rip-off the Shaman: "Isak's good, Isak's good, fuck me Isak's good"
 
– I would have loved to have him with me, but he has trained three times with the team and hasn't played in three months. The risk would have been too great, says Jon Dahl Tomasson.
 
I was assuming that the lack of standardised format (not starting with "To the tune of...") decidedly low-effort, and palpable irony of me of all people saying don't overcomplicate things made it obvious it was a pisstake...
 
Why did he get called up if the coach was afraid to play him? Pretty frustrating. Could have built up fitness at home

As a Liverpool supporter I agree. But it makes sense for the manager of his country to want to have his best striker doing tactical work/training + bonding with his teammates with so little time left before the World Cup, considering how little time International managers have with their players.

We won't have a lot of time to assess him, and we know how careful Slot is, so it will be interesting to see if he makes the bench on Sunday and who misses out if he does.
 
Elliott was on the bench against Arsenal, so it would be instead of him most likely. Will be interesting to see if he makes the bench or not. Kinda feels like Everton makes the most sense in terms of fitness.

I don’t think he will be on the bench in any of the next 3 games.

Granted I don’t give a flying fuck about international football…but surely an international manager would at least think about the possibility that what’s best for his squad’s best player is to get fit and firing quickly for his new club - in order to be in the best shape to lead the line for Sweden in the future?

Isak’s been in the Sweden squad for ages, I’m sure he doesn’t need any extra intl bonding time when his club career has been so fraught over the summer. He could have been settling in at the Axa and getting up to speed with benefit to the next Intl round of matches.
