Isakly what we need

My main issue has been that we spend so much money on this guy and we are not utilising him properly. this guy thrives on crosses and fast wingers. How are we playing to his strengths?
 
our wide forwards are set up to finish, not provide. Also, the lacking use of full backs amplify this. We are not setting up a no. P with crosses and cut backs. Gak and salah want to shoot.
Invert the attacker triangle please. Firm has left the building, so has Trent who could find a striker early.
Poor the Isak
 
It's weird because that's exactly what we've been doing with Salah for the last 6 seasons, including last season.
I'm assuming it's to stop us conceding so many goals, but it allows the opposition to send everyone forward without worrying too much about counter attacks.
And if we leave on attacker forward almost always the opposition will leave two defenders back, never one v one.

Very similar to how we misused Nunez TBH. He thrived on balls into the 6 yd box as his stats (over 50% scored within the 6yd box) in Portugal indicated.
 
This lad was at best a £75m striker…..he really is not anything special. He never was. Andy Cole went for mega bucks in the 90’s - he banged loads of goals in, but even he had more about himself in terms of personality and individuality on the ball. He is a vanity signing. Ferguson still tried to replace Cole with Shearer a year or two later as he understood to be the best, you needed more certainty with your number 9.
