Alexander Isak

[Andrew 5615]

3 goals in the last 5 games.

He's clearly not playing as well as he was on his hot streak earlier in the season but come on

any suggestion as to what the op is? hopefully nothing too serious given he's still playing 

Nah just said op.  Hopefully not a Botman type situation.

It was his groin (and hip maybe) that he was having a persistent problem with, wasn't it? Might be that.

Could be why he isn't sprinting as much.

Miggy 2, get rid.

two of those were pens though, right?

 

not scoring is fine. There has been a noticeable drop off in his energy and mobility. Might just be fatigue but I wouldn’t be surprised if DK’s source is ITK

Does it matter of its a pen?  Still got to score them.

We need to know his xG for the last five games in order to pass judgement.

There we go. His xG and non penalty xG. Your wish is my command.

Did you see the state of him coming off when he was subbed at Wembley? He could barely walk. He did the full 90mins on Sunday . Am certain a knock has been managed for months and he’ll get an op in the summer. If we’d already got CL he’d have had it by now…

Clearly carrying a niggle - isn't sprinting the same way with the exception on Sunday to absolutely wipe curly head twat Cockurella out.

Valid point and reminds me of a comment made during the cup final when I was in the same box as a few Liverpool fans. One of them made a comment that in the 2nd half, Isak had a one on one with Andy Robertson and was out-sprinted. They consider Robertson to not be quick so in turn commented that Isak has no pace. 

That's not the Isak we know so wouldn't at all be surprised to hear that he's off for an op as soon as the season is over - no international football so nothing to 'manage' in the interim.

no, and you wouldn't want anyone else taking pens. he's ice cold in those situations.

 

but his all round game has definitely dropped off in the past 4-6 weeks though. it's just not about his goal scoring. he doesn't seem to be moving around the pitch as freely as he was in the run up to the cup final, which to me suggests fatigue or he's carrying a niggle.

 

we also have history of continuing to start players when they're managing injuries, so it wouldn't surprise me. i have faith in the medical department since bunce has come in. we have had way fewer injury problems this season but i wonder if they have weighed up how important isak is to the team against he lack of viable options on the bench and decided to defer his rest or op till the summer.

OBVIOUSLY we need to the xG for the five previous games in order to make a comparison. This is pretty simple stuff, I shouldn't have to be telling you how to do your job.

I agree there's probably a niggle or fatigue, he clearly doesn't look fully fit. The summer will sort him out, just need him to score another penalty or two against Everton. I think we've also failed to get him involved much last few games, maybe that's partially down to him not being as mobile as earlier in the season but I've felt there have been occasions when he has been in space and hasnt been put through. I do think he works better with Gordon than Barnes. 

 

 

Shouldnt be a problem next season when we have the completely reliable perenially fit DCL to provide cover

[Dazzler 12815]

Probably pulled a groin tripping over his massive clems tbh.
