Isakly what we need

[Red Mullet]

Chiesa is too nice to replace Jota. No way Diogo would’ve been trying to play in Salah late in the game.

Nah, I think Jota would have passed it as well. They were good buddies

Jota was ruthless

Once we had Ekitike, I think spending that dough on Alvarez would’ve been a better move

Alvarez made it clear he wouldn’t consider a move until 2026. 500 mill release clause and Barca are quoted 200 mill as a fee in 2026.

Nobody put in a bid to test it.I’ve read back on some of the rumours from the summer and can’t see anything saying he’s not moving until 2026.

Other than GK area we have been shit every where else. I don't see how you can single out players for clearly is coaching and tactics issue?
Let's we got Alvarez instead and his performance mirrored Isak, the same people would be moaning on why we didn't get Isak.
Isak is a very good player but we need a coach who knows how to get the best out of him. I have very little faith in Slot in the way he handles the players

I’m not sure coaching is the issue with Isak. Mostly, he is just out form for both club and country. When you are out of form, it is doubly important to just work your socks off. Win the ball high up the field. Create space for others with smart ones. At the very least, make yourself a nuisance. That is what Darwin did in spades, which is a main reason he was given so much time by the managers and supporters.

So, I want to at least see Isak work bloody hard, before I point any finger at a coach. The work hard standard should be given, which was a large reason Salah has been criticized during his slump.

Nah it's fucked. It's not working and it's never going to work. At least not under this manager.

We cannot seemingly get him involved in our build up and we cannot get him on the ball at the end.

Is it him? Is it the tactic? Don't know. Don't care.

We've pissed our transfer record up the wall. We should have got a first choice winger and we should have got a young striker as backup to Ekitike.

This is all hindsight. Ekitike IS the young backup. Nobody could foresee how good he's been.

That said Isak is too good not to come good.

It was a 9/10 window. They should have got Guehi before getting Leoni. As people say hindsight is a beautiful thing. Slot fucked up with tactics and coaching, we have tall players yet we are shit at set pieces.
