Alexander Isak

[Kenneth]

I have no idea what our strongest 11 looks like at the moment, but a deadly finisher is always welcome.

Unreal summer

Team has been built to dominate for the next 5 years at least. Even with Mo, VVD and Ali moving on.

Don't really recall when we've had a more complete squad.

Everyone at the club deserves immense credit for the summer window.

Yeah, we should be able to cope with their departures now. Hope Isak gets some gametime for Sweden this window, been looking at other 9's and the only ones who can really compare with him are the proper elites, Lewandowski, Haaland and Benzema.

Hope he shakes the rust off soon.

Not aimed at you but this is where we need to be. It's very much a squad game and i use the spurs final line up as that was on paper our first team line up and we only saw it once.

I still don't think the balance of the team is quite right and we've now another starter to wedge in somewhere but Gravenberch and Mac Allister definitely help give us a platform and some time for the players to adapt to their demands.

I'm also interested to see how we fare with Frimpong on the RW in the AC.

I watched that last night. It made me see Isak in a slightly different light and I now can't wait to see him fully up to speed and playing for us. The real eye opener was when he showed how another team (think it was Arsenal) basically lost their shape when he received the ball as they were so concerned about what he would do next. They essentially shat the bed in a way that teams only do when they know they are up against a top player. It's the kind of thing that doesn't easily come across over the TV but you get a better sense of in the ground (I've never watched Isak in person).
I really like Adam Clearey BTW, his videos are great IMHO.

Good analysis, I like the way he presents.
Particularly interesting how isak will drop deeper to draw defenders and then make room for the wide players who he can pass to, then move forward to receive the return pass.
The one thing to note is that the pass to the wide player on the right means the return pass needs to be played with the right foot... not ideal for salah who ALWAYS wants to cut back.

[Kenneth]

Perfect for frimpong, Dom and Connor though.

[Corndog]

Wirtz also likes to drop deep occasionally and play a one two off his centre forward before driving into the box….exciting times

[spud_gun]

How long until he makes his debut?

He didn't have much of a pre-season

Sub appearances against Burnley, Atletico and Everton with a view to starting against Palace on the 27th of this month?

Thank you Adam for that post. Keep up the good work.

[vlahka]

I think he'll start Everton and Ekitike will rest after the athletico game.

[peterbread]

That video has got me even more excited to get him in the team.

Players like Gakpo, Alexis, Ekitike and Dom might really benefit. All the focus on Isak, Wirtz and Salah some of those others players are going to get a lot more time and space to cause so damage.

If you’re the opposition who do you focus on.
