Isak - Internationals

[OwdBillCook]

Well, let's see how this works out in the end.......

I don't really see "PIF" and "tail between legs" being a good fit with each other

Sorry to bump this up months after - but it is relevant

JDT has now been sacked after 1 point in 4 games for Sweeden.

As someone who supported Isak's strike I have little sympathy but I wonder if he thinks it was a good move now Isak's fitness, or lack of, has clearly impacted the way Sweeden have played.

I do feel for Elanga though.

Aye-zero sympathy for him after he sided with the rat.

Can't they still make it through the playoffs, though?

They can but it's significantly harder having lost to Kosovo last night.

Lowest rated on stats v Manure and subbed on 72 mins by Chiesa who became highest rated in just 18 mins plus stoppage time

Pig in a poke purchase comes to mind.

There's a funny compilation doing the rounds of all his misses for us (and there were loads).

Even if he's not playing for a team who were built to play to his strengths, he's too good not to come good for them.

But, while it lasts, it's funny as fuck.

It's hilarious. Up to now we've had their pants down good and proper.

Reminds me of the time they thought Carroll was the bees knees, but they just didn't know how to use him.

Justification is that look what we've done with the money from one player sale.

[Guybrush]

I reckon he?s had his head turned by Real Madrid already 😆 trying to force his move

[Guybrush]

Thing is - I?ve mellowed to the fact we sold him - if we want to progress, we had to sell a big player and invest the money.

When the Arabs came in, we had no commercial income and no sellable assets, and it was clear from the previous 3 windows a cash injection was needed - queue a big player sale.

What I haven?t mellowed to is Isak forcing it through 😡

Exactly. If Nick keeps shoving the ball in, and if Wissa can contribute to the overall tally as well, then it might be a shrewd piece of business by the club.

It's the way it happened that was unelegant, to say the least. A disaster, actually. It makes Isak, his agent and to a lesser degree Liverpool look like the bad guys, though, so we're all good - it's just that it f*cked our pre-season and thus we are still marked by it.
