Not seen him since but I'll be bringing it up when I do, it was a great finish 😅
Hopefully he can kick on this month. We really need him to start scoring a few.
Unless there's a dramatic change in 1)tactics, or 2) his application then I am
I thought hed take to us like a duck to water, but clearly he's struggled and I have no idea why.
The 8 players we bought over the 2 windows, I don't think any are dud, at worse the jury should be out on all of them. The buck stops with Slot, people say the team he puts out lacks width and pace, but he refuses to use Cheezy and Rio. The MF requires a #6 but Endo is left in the sideline. We get caught out on the counter, but persists to play the highline. We have a squad more than capable of winning the league, its far stronger than last season - the manager has to get things right
My strong view is you shouldn't have to wait a few years for the record signing to shows even glimmers of being a good signing. We've bought him at his peak, and current signs suggest he is on the way down from that peak already.
Context of when & how much we invest in a play is extremely relevant to expectations.
I also enjoy watching highlights of Suarez's 13/14 season, what a beast. Doesn't mean he is replicating this now on the pitch.
I didn't realise you were such a snowflake Tommo
Nah, I am just old and don’t want to waste time. Nothing personal.
You are on the wrong forum if you value your time.
It’s escapism, but there are limits.
My route to escapism is thinking about how things would look if we kept Darwin and bought Guehi
I can't wait for him to show he's one of the best strikers around too. Hopefully we won't be waiting too much longer, it's been a while already.
He is one of second best strikers around when the strikers are fucking dogshit.
The fact that he couldn´t maintain fitness without a team around him, aggravates me to no end.

We really need to actually play in a way that creates chances for him. Until then, unless he turns into Messi, he'll seem shit and will be labelled shit.
If we give him chances, he'll score.
If every fucker cuts in, crowds his space and shoots, then a fantastic finisher will remain wank in the eyes of a significant part of the fan base.
Get Bradley on, get Cheesy on, get Frimpong on, get Rio on and he'll score....

Isak was just awarded "Guldbollen" ( Golden ball) for the first time in his career. Best Swedish footballer.
Who the fuck has been winning it for the last 5 years!?
Zlatan? Probably should have won it from retirement this year as well
Wow. He's played (from your own chart) just 493 mins, in a mostly dysfunctional team, with a player on his right that has fallen off a cliff, FBs that have yet to sort themselves out and are different from game to game, and a mish-mash of a midfield that is only now just beginning to sort itself out - and that is the conclusion?
Look at his form at Newcastle for the true ability of this man. Injury, fitness and the team's inoperability are the key factors behind his failure to hit form yet.
But we don't play like Newcastle.
Hardly the point. Players move from team to team and still bang in the goals - they don't always play the same !
Address those other issues first before pointing fingers. They are undoubtedly the biggest factors in his lack of goals/form to date.
That's irrelevant. Isak has been brilliant wherever he has played. Holland, Spain and England. Regardless of tactics or playing style. Why? Because he's a fantastic footballer.
If people could just be patient they will see that for us as well.
But we sadly live in a FIFA and Football manager World were fans expect everything to be 100% regardless of circumstances from the start or else they throw their toys out of the pram.
