Alexander Isak

Isak seriously underrated for me. Shades of Thierry Henry

Completely agree.

I said Isak was closer to Havertz and Jesus than he is Haaland and Kane. That is fact. He is clearly a cut below. Look at the goals he scores comapred to Havertz? Very similar mate...

And Jesus is not playing in a team that allows him to play his best role, so obviously it looks as if he's a cut below. Jesus at Newcastle would look quite similar to Isak mate.

And Real Sociedad and Newcastle aren't much different than Leverkusen, Chelsea, and Arsenal.

Isak actually scores though.....

i think mbuemo is massively underrated because he plays for brentford and newcastle

This is why man united and spurs are dumb as rocks. They go and splash millions on "projects" or over the hill/over rated players and could just go and sign a mbuemo who has consistently shown he's ready to take a step up

 

[Clercqs]

No hes not. Gordon is doing just as much. Not as many goals obviously but he's just as involved

He really isnt. Doing more defensive work yeah, but offensivly Isak is doing way more than anybody else. Just watch him the positions he receives the ball in and where it then ends up.

In his entire career, he has had 1 season where he has scored more than 20 league goals which was last season, in his first 10 appearances this season he had 1 goal, he is a very good player no doubt, but dont get giddy

He’s only 25 years old and scored 17 goals in La Liga when he was 21. His combined npxg+xa this season is only beaten by Salah. And for me its still his all-round play and not just his numbers that really makes him stand out compared to other strikers.

He reminds me of Kanu.

He reminds me of Kanu.

Reminds me of a better, slightly less clumsy version of Wanchope

Good shout, but being Scandinavian he actually reminds me the most of a properly developed world-class version of Tore-Andre Flo

If he can stay fit he's got the potential to be one of the best. His all round game is exceptional. There are echoes of Henry the way he can pick up the ball and terrify defenders before slotting the ball in. He's not just a poacher, he can create goals for himself and others. It's not often you see Gabriel and Saliba get torn apart the way Isak did to them the other night. When they got tight he turned them, if they dropped off he ate up the space in behind. He was excellent, and was often doing it when isolated.

 

[King Jay]

Will never forget his crazy assist last year where he moved past 3-4 players in tight spaces. He got it all.

 

[Random Precision]

 

[Clercqs]

Just the two goals and one assist tonight.

Would have been a better fit for us than Haaland.

 

[DMA's]

Fair to say he is the best striker in the league at the moment! Brilliant player

 

[chris85mcfc]

Would have been a better fit for us than Haaland.

Showed very little at Sociedad to suggest that he'd be the player he is now, which just goes to show that players can improve drastically over time.

Wouldn't get all the time and space he gets here so absolutely bollocks. He'll also never score 50+ goals in a season.

If you actually looked at the games back then thats not true. His talent was evident for everyone to see and no surprise for me seeing him perform like this.

I wonder how he'd perform against a team that doesn't leave their penalty area?

I think he would manage it considering his all-round game is elite. He could easily play as a false nine and his movement in and around the box is great.

Lots of players look great playing against teams who dont pack their defence, look at Jack at Villa
